An absolute dream property with very high standards of luxury and hospitality alike. Truly a five star experience with wonderfully personal service provided by all staff members. Fantastic breakfast, great rooms with super luxurious bathrooms and tasteful furnishings. Definitely worth a visit and stay - highly recommended.

Nice pool/spa area. At times it feels lime a maze but the Palace is beautiful. Note that it isn't isolated. You're in a suburban area really, with grocery stores and more affordable restaurants. Great venue for a wedding

During our four-night stay at the Althoff Palace Hotel, booked via the U.S. website, we were impressed by the facilities but deeply disappointed by the service standards, which fell well below expectations for a five-star property. From arrival, friendliness and professionalism were lacking compared to luxury hotels we regularly stay at, such as the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Peninsula. We initially booked a suite but downgraded due to dissatisfaction with the room. A significant issue arose regarding smoking: we proactively asked staff for permission to smoke in the back garden and never smoked in the room. Despite this, management later accused us—rudely—of smoking indoors, creating an embarrassing and uncomfortable situation that was later disproven. Housekeeping and service were inconsistent. Despite requests, rooms were not cleaned when indicated, housekeeping arrived at 8:00 a.m. despite our jet lag, and room service trays were left in the room for an entire day. Upon moving rooms, we found the toilet improperly cleaned with visible residue, the TV not functioning, and overall poor attention to detail. While the spa staff, valet, and younger apprentices were professional and courteous, interactions with senior management were unfriendly and dismissive. The hotel has strong potential, but service quality, management conduct, and treatment of international guests—particularly Americans—require significant improvement.

Very nice hotel Unfortunately, at breakfast, our waitress does not meet the standards of a hotel Table not cleaned and she sets the cutlery without napkins. Overall, very unpleasant for a breakfast.
