I travelled from Manchester UK to a gig at Burgerhaus Stollwerck and found this hotel located around 10 minutes away - I arrived at the central station from the airport and caught the 132 bus directly to Chlodwigplatz. I had read on the website that the hotel is painted green and could see it easily! This is such a relief for a traveller who knows nothing of the local language. Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful, advising me how to get to the venue later. In the morning I enjoyed a complementary coffee and after realising that I hadn't packed as well as I thought I was also given helpful advice on somewhere nearby to buy a cheap T shirt! I'm glad I had enough time to walk around the local area in the evening and the next morning as it's very pleasant - I was impressed by the old gatehouse in the nearby square. The room was very comfortable and good value - I didn't make use of the cafe located next door for time reasons but there were many places to grab food and drinks nearby which I used before catching a tram back to the station for the next part of my journey.

A minor matter but I returned to the hotel around 11pm and felt the need for a hot drink. Sadly this isn't available once reception closes and I was aware of this, but I wouldn't have anything remotely negative to record - this late-night tea drinking may be a British thing, anyway!😄

The hotel has a very charming feel. It's an old period building but the rooms have been done up to look clean and contemporary. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It's also in a great neighborhood - I only had to stroll down the street to find great places to eat.

It can be noisy in the evening as it's situated on a crossroads in a busy neighbourhood, but the hotel provide ear plugs by the bed and I chose to sleep with the window open because it was warm. If you're looking to be situated in the heart of Chlodwigplatz you can't really escape the noise!

The coffee maker is downstairs, but it was no bother at all. We did not think that the room was loud and we enjoyed the stay throughly. The lady welcoming us was very kind and we felt welcomed immediatly. The rooms themselves were great and the Wifi was strong. We were invited to an event directly and felt very warmly appreciated from the start.

Something that cannot be changed, unfortunatly, is that the stairs are quite hard to walk for elderly/less mobile people. Please keep that in mind.

It is easily accessible by taking the U-Bahn from Cologne Central Station. There are restaurants, grocery stores and various convenience facilities around the hotel, so it wasn't difficult to get a meal or get the necessary items. The staff also welcomed me very kindly. The room was also clean.

The staff in charge of check-in leaves at 19:00, so if you plan to arrive later than this, you must notify this to the hotel staff in advance. Breakfast is not provided at the hotel, and you must pay to have breakfast at a cafe or other location within the hotel.

Very clean hotel and you get discount in the cafe underneath, great location, 5 trams going to Köln every 10 mins, also a direct tram to Phantasialand not too far away either, great choice of food and drink around aswell!

You do need to make use of the earplugs provided by the hotel as the windows don't keep the noise from outside out, you are warned about this when booking but please don't let that put you off!

The hotel staff was extremely friendly. Before the trip they answered all my questions very quickly and politely. During the trip my friend lost her key card. We called to the hotel emergency number the hotel had given us. In ten minutes somebody came to give my friend a new card despite that it was 10 pm. The room was quite small but adequate and very clean. The location was excellent: The tram and bus stops were very near so it was an easy access to the city centre. There were a lot of breakfast places and restaurants near the hotel.

The staircase with the heavy luggage was a challenge. The hotel's surroundings were a bit noisy but the hotel provided guests with earplugs. :)

Chlowidgplatz is a very nice and lively part of the city of Cologne, plenty of shops, restaurants, cafeterias, and very well connected with public transportation systems. The hotel is very comfortable, personnel is only there for breakfast, all the rest is explained in notices and messages.

Everything was fine.

Location, friendliness of staff who really went out of their way to make things easy and respond to any requests, ease of access. Very helpful place for those in town for a few days and need somewhere simple to have a base.

Just access to coffee in the morning would have been good.

The hotel is in a great location, very European and relaxed, perfect for going out for coffee. I was greeted by a very friendly member of staff who helped me settle in. The room was clean, tidy and quiet. For the price, it's unbeatable. There was a little packet of sweets on my pillow! There are "kiosks" (small supermarkets) all within walking distance that are open all hours, so I never lacked for any supplies when coming back from work. Just around the corner are a couple of great restaurants. There's a taxi rank and a metro station about two minutes' walk away.

The only downside is that I went during a hot time of year, and the rooms don't have air-con. Sleeping was tough during especially hot nights. But I adapted and got used to it.

Rooms were well laid out and well equipped and not as small as warned at all. Very clean and comfortable!

Despite suggesting hot drinks are available - this was only true during the day time. It would have been nice to get a hot drink out of those hours too.
