We have been to this hotel before with National Travel quite a few years ago and it was good then . It was flooded two years ago and has been completely modernised and is a quality hotel to stop in . Usually divide my comments into + 's & - "s but the only criticism I could have is that some of the rooms are a bit small and no drawers - just shelves . Besides that the bar area is really good- large choice of beers - the meals are tasty and the hotel is in a brilliant position to visit the town . There was a parade on in the town (Wednesday) and that was a good night for the kids to show off . There are a few bars/ restaurants to visit if you feel like a drink in the evening . The tour included a visit to the caves Christmas Market (already paid for in the trip) , Cologne Market was good and Aachen Market good as well - Monschau was pretty dead unusually and not really worth going to . Been in the Summer and Monschau was buzzing but at this time in the year wasn't worth the visit as the market there was at the weekend and this trip is Mon- Fri .Also you get a free meal on the ferry on the way there and on the way back This trip is well worth the money - go for it !

Stayed at the Walram as part of a coach trip for a short New Year break. Had a very nice relatively spacious room but the shower room was a bit on the smaller side but enough room for me as a single traveller. One small niggle was that there were no shelves as such in my room but made use of what there was available to use. There were tea/coffee making facilities in the room which I had not been expecting so it was quite nice and a bonus to have a tea or coffee in the room if I woke up earlier than expected. The food was very nice particularly breakfast although on a few evenings - NYE being an example - the service was a bit chaotic however with it being the holidays, a skeleton/relief staff and a lot of people to feed I was prepared to cut them a bit of slack. The fireworks more than made up for it. They went off all around the square where the hotel was situated although they did go on for quite a while. I went up to my room at around 12:40 - it was an earlyish start the following day - and I think they still sent on for a while after that. All in all I would give the hotel a very solid 8/10. Now I know what to expect if I am ever there again it will probably be a 9/10 because nowhere is ever perfect.

We stayed in this hotel with a coach party for 4 nights whilst visiting local Christmas markets in Holland and Germany. The positive points are the location. Situated in walking distance to Valkenberg centre and in a pleasant spacious square. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for them almost of them speak excellent English. The buffet breakfasts are very good with lots of choice of hot and cold items including fresh fruit and assorted fresh breads and pastries. There are quality Rituals toiletries in the bathrooms and the rooms are serviced daily. There's a kettle in the room and tea/coffee/sugar in sachets on a tray. The hotel is clean and recently stylishly refurbished in a contemporary style. The negatives are the food at dinner which tastes frozen and processed. We had no choice on the menu and food quality at dinner was poor. There was a salad bar but it was often run down and I had to ask for it to be filled up, which it was. The double bed was 2 singmatresses pushed together with single bedding on each half. A most odd arrangement. The mattress often buckled up in the night and the duvet just covered the matress with no overhang. The room was small with a tiny bathroom. Room 109. There was an annoying alarm that went off everytime you opened the door. Would I stay there again? Not likely as there were so many other hotels in town that could have met my expectations better. Valkenberg though is a charming, magical town at Christmas and Joy's Flower shop the best florist shop I've ever visited. A must if you are in the area!
