Been staying at this hotel for the best part of thirty years under the old ownership. Never had a problem and would always recommend the place. The new owners have been in place now for a couple of years and I experienced the unforgivable in a hotel. After a 500 mile drive from the Midlands I got to the hotel... More

The room and the stay were fine. We had a rental car, though, and parking the car took nearly two hours. The "private" parking lot was completely full, and we ended up having to park at a place farther away that charged twice what I had read on the website. Spending a long period of time driving around, finding a... More

Locally run hotel with an excellent range of mainly German style food. Plenty of menu choice for the non-German. Public areas are a little worn but the rooms are clean and comfortable and the prices are very, very reasonable. Best point by far is the location. Situated 20 yards from the Porta Nigra (World Heritage Roman Gate), right on the... More

Classicism, built first half 19th century (architect Eichhorn), expanded in 1850 whereby the stucco relief statue of Saint Christopher was applied in the guests room of the ground floor, the new building was used as a hotel. The extensive sandstone corner House in Neo-Gothic architecture has two different façades, of which the part at the Porta Nigra Platz has a... More

Our large family took two triple rooms on the top floor of this hotel conveniently located right across from the Porta Nigra. The rooms were larger than others we were used to in Germany and had views directly across to the Porta Nigra. The breakfast was compact but excellent. The price was also right. Parking is an additional 6 Euros... More

This hotel restaurant was wonderful. The staff was very gracious and the food was great. Atmosphere was relaxed. We were there during a festival which was loud (so we closed our windows and were a little warm). We all slept very well. In the morning, there was a run, so getting out of the hotel was a little challenging but... More

I have never stayed at Zum Christophel. I have been dining here since 1976. The menu is varied, the daily specials are a real price treat and well as quite successful meals. Service is quite cordial, it is a busy street corner but one is never rushed. The restaurant is consistently satisying, great German food and drink.

Located next to the Roman Black Gate. There was a rally on when we in Trier and we had difficulty getting to and from the hotel as it was within the ticketed rally zone. The rooms were large with high ceilings and the bathroom was huge with a large bath. Trier has a lot of interesting Roman remains and a... More

Stayed at Zum Christophel in February 2011. First: Awesome location--the hotel is directly adjacent to the Porta Nigra. In fact, my window overlooked this landmark. The room was large and comfortable, and featured hardwood floors. The hotel has an elevator. Parking is offered for a small fee at an adjacent lot which is less than a 5 minute walk away.... More
