The Ascot was situated in a quiet area of Remscheid, perfect for sleeping after a grueling work day. The breakfast was fantastic, and got the day going perfectly. Unlike most of German hotels, the coffee was also very good, on a par with Italian and Swiss. The room was large for a European hotel, and very comfortable. The staff was welcoming, helpful and gracious. I could not have asked for more, and the moderate price per night was an added benefit.
