Hotel Zur Post in Trier

This is for the restaurant. We were driving through looking for someplace to eat and decided to give it a try. It was decorated in traditional German decor. Our friends who live in Germany said it was authentic decore and was a traditional country style with locals eating there. We had two Italian dishes that were delicious with very generous portions at very reasonable prices for what we received. The best was the soup of the day, creme of mushroom. It was exceptional. Also, the restaurant was quiet even with other people dining there and everyone was very nice. Bathrooms were also clean. There was a beautiful large patio in the back for outside seating. Unfortunately, it was raining so we couldn't experience it. We would highly recommend it and would enjoy going back if we are ever in the area again.

We need a late arrival and they were great!

Helpful staff, clean spacious room, restaurant with reasonable selection of good food. Good choice at breakfast buffet.
Close to River Mosel could not see as Mway and buildings in way. On a main road. Good frequency of bus service to centre of Trier 6 km distant.
Good value for money

A charming hotel, about twenty minutes drive from Trier centre. A tiny room, but adequate, clean, helpful proprietor. Nice breakfast. However, don't arrive before 3:00 pm in the afternoon. Free parking by the side of the road opposite.

Alte is unfortunately one of the keywords to this place. The room was a bit dark and the layout is not very practical with lots of steps and the room being much deeper than it's wide

The location is on the wrong bank to get to other restaurants and sites. It's easy to get to from the freeway, but parking is horrible (there's space but it's bumpy and across a busy street)

After spending a few days in Bruges, our next stop was Trier. We had booked two nights in Hotel Zur Post. This hotel was located on the outskirts of Trier and is a short distance away from the World Heritage Sites the town is renowned for. This is a modern establishment, in fact our rooms were in a part of the hotel that had just been redone. Our room and all its amenities were very topnotch and the bathroom was very updated. The checkin went well as the staff were efficient and courteous. There is free parking available, on a not so busy road, just across from the hotel. Our room faced the road but there was no problem with noise at night. There is a restaurant on the premises, where we were served breakfast in the morning, and which was very excellent. We also ate our dinner here for our two nights stay. The meals were reasonably priced and very tasty, and a good variety was offered on the menu. A nice spot to end up after a busy day of "adventure". We, "adventurers", like to visit UNESCO's World Heritage Sites andTrier, probably falls into the "king sized group of sites in one location" category. Trier was founded by the Celts in late 4th century BC and then conquered in the 1st century BC by the Romans. The city is considered to be the oldest in Germany. Trier was one of four capitals in the late 3rd or early 4th centuries AD of the Roman empire. Consequently, we see that the significance of Trier during the Roman and Holy Roman empires led to it having both Roman monuments and cathedrals from these eras. These are now listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. These include well preserved Roman monuments such as the Roman Amphitheatre, the 2nd century AD Roman bridge, the oldest bridge still in use north of the Alps, the Porta Nigra, the best preserved city gate north of the Alps, and the ruins of three Roman Baths, Barbara, Imperial and Forum. There are the old, well preserved medieval buildings such as the huge basilica, Aula Palatina, huge in the true sense, built between AD 300 and AD 310, and the Trier Cathedral, it is the oldest church in Germany, dating from the early 4th century. These are but a few of the sites to see. A tour of the Hauptmarkt is also a must stop, for both shopping and restaurants, or just for photo taking. In the market, is an ancient cross, installed by Archbishop Heinrich 1, in 958 AD. It is not conspicuous, so you might have to look closely for it. It is not large and also its base might be obscured by the seat of some tired market goer. At one end of this square is where you will find the Porta Nigra, quite large and easy to spot. I should be able to at least recommend one spot at which to have some form of refreshment, and fortunately, I can. If you are in the mood for some delicious treats, we were given a very good tip, Christis Eis & Kaffee. It is located just off the square, heading down from Dom St. Peter. Anyway, there you have it. Is a stop to Trier worth it? Yep! And, would we chose the Hotel Zur Post ag

I changed my booking at very short notice and then arrived way after the Reception had closed. I called the owner and he kindly drove to the hotel and checked me in.... 🙏🏿
Smallish hotel with cosy clean rooms good beds and very friendly staff.
Nice and quiet close to but not in the center town, which was perfect for me as I needed to be at an event practically just around the corner and could still be in town for evening drinks.
It was an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
