What a fabulous surprise. I chose this hotel based on the reviews. When i found it was a little outside the old town centre and a bit of a walk into town, I was a bit disappointed/sceptical, but that went away the minute we checked in and walked into our room. The views from our room were lovely. The room was large, with separate seating area. The bed, while firm, was very comfortable and the water pressure in the bathrooms - OH the water pressure! It was the best! Wow. The hotel spa area was so lovely. We took advantage of it every single day, included in our room rate. Breakfast was also included, which was beyond expectations and so many options including made to order meals. There are a couple of nice places to eat dinner within a short walk, and the hotel also has a lovely restaurant. I am not sure we’ll ever venture back to Trier, but I’d honestly consider going back just to stay in Hotel Villa Huegel again. Sensational.

● So many things I loved about this hotel. The front facing staff spoke excellent English. The receptionist walked us to the room since the layout of the hotel is a little confusing. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a king sized bed, a desk, love seat, coffee table, chair with foot rest, TV/cabinet. The best part was the room included a balcony with a table and two chairs and a gorgeous view of Trier and a wonderful tree that created a bit more privacy. The room also included a coffee maker, mini bar, and 4 handcrafted chocolates upon arrival. The bathroom was two parts–the toilet separate from the sinks and showers. In the main bathroom was a large bathtub with herbed bath salt, double sinks, and light-up make up mirror. ● The hotel amenities included pools and sauna and the hotel provided bathrobes, slippers, and extra towels for the use of these amenities. The outdoor forever pool was heated. There were maybe 15 lounge chairs but none were available any of the times we tried to visit the pool so we never stayed there which was a real pity since it had a wonderful view of Trier. Aside from the loungers or in the pool, there was no other space to be at that pool. So instead we enjoyed the heated indoor pool which was a very beautiful setting and no one was using it. At the indoor pool were showers, cubbies, a lounging alcove, and relaxing room. The sauna area was textile free. There is an area to change and shower there along with a relaxing room. There were several sauna rooms including 48 and 90 degree C and a wet sauna at 56C. The grounds of the hotel were gorgeous and well maintained. In front is a glass enclosed gazebo for gathering and beside that is a koi fish pond. At the lowest end of the property is a sunbathing area with grass and gardens and lounge chairs. ● The restaurant and bar were excellent. The bar included a terrace perfect for watching the sunset, lots of comfortable chair and couches. The restaurant included several indoor areas and a terrace. The dinner food was exceptional and the staff very helpful. The drinks were well made. I loved the breakfast buffet–there were even more options than you typically see at a fully stocked European hotel buffet so in addition to the regular items of cereals, cheese and meats including fish, breads and pastries, there was also a Mediterranean section of olives, grape leaves and vegetables. There were many different types of jams, honey, and juices along with several varieties of yogurt, puddings, and mousse. ● The location was in a very nice part neighborhood and on the hill overlooking the city yet only less than a kilometer away from the old city center. Since the hotel is on a hill, it is uphill coming back when you are tired–yet the walking path to and from the old city to the hotel is paved, easy to follow, and has slow steps that are not steep. Finding the hotel itself was tricky since it is tucked into a neighborhood and has little parking in front. The hotel garage i
