The hotel is on a street with infinity bars, caffes, shops, restaurants and everything you need. The tram and bus stops are very close. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast has many options, I didn't see this many thing on a hotel breakfast before. The room is big, comfy, clean. Water pressure is strong and the water is really hot. Many hotels have water problems but not this one. We even got free drinks because we didn't ask for cleaning.

The bathtub and the bathroom floor is really slippery when it gets wet. Hard to get out. We didn't get a balcony with view, there was only houses in front of us but the room was super so we didn't care.

Good cost-benefit, well located in the city close to tram stops, bars and restaurants. Large Breakfast buffet

The "balcony" described in the add was a door with access to a terrace of little to no use for guests. The Breakfast was good, but seems like they did not replenished the itens as they were ending in the buffet. We had some miscommunication with the staff when trying to speak in english, lost the drink in exchange for cleaning offer because of that. Every turn was someone new in the reception and they just gave us the key to the room everytime we got to the hotel, without ever questioning our names.

Very kind man at the reception, they did everything to make our stay perfect. Delicious breakfast with all kinds of breads, fruits, nuts and good coffee. Central location, but very quiet. Thank you, we loved our stay at your hotel and had an excellent time in Cologne!

I stayed at this hotel about 6 years ago and it is still as good as I remembered. The situation is excellent, with easy access to the city centre by tram or train. My room was very good with a view of the main road outside but no traffic noise. The size of the room was adequate and the bathroom had both shower and bath. The staff of the hotel were always very pleasant and helpful. Whenever I returned the reception staff always knew my room number. Breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide choice of everything you could wish for. This hotel will always be my first choice in Cologne.

Nothing.

Late checkout and long breakfast. The location is quite nice for a few hours out. Everything was a bit old-school, but that adds to the charm. You should expect dead silence, this is Cologne and it is a rather busy road and there are going to be nightly walks by party folks on the street. There's a call-a-bike station just across the street, which is very nice. ÖPNV ist also excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The room was cozy and clean, and really warm. The staff was very helpful and by listening to their suggestions, me and my husband were able to visit more Christmas markets and have an even better stay than we planned :-) The hotel has good transportation connection to the center and local stores to shop in nearby - Lidl, Rewe, DM. The breakfast was really good and delicious, with many choices and the staff at the restaurant was also very helpful.
