Great location, friendly staff, lots of space, cozy beds, and overall a safe atmosphere. And the balcony was a lifesaver for rewinding in the evenings!

TVs were on the older side, no streaming services available. Watching MTV was still a nostalgic throwback though ;)

These apartments are a 4 minutes walk from the train station. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. The apartment and all areas are spotlessly clean. The staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself is very spacious and has everything you need. The kitchen has a fridge, oven and hob. There is only two of everything but as there was only two of us that wasn’t a problem. The beds were very comfy and there was plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. All though there was no air con and it was 36 degrees we kept the curtains closed while we were out which kept the apartment nice and cool. It was lovely sitting on the balcony on a night looking at the cathedral spires light up. We didn’t visit the spa or the gym but we looked in and it was very nice.

We had no complaints at all

Really impressed with our 4 night stay here. The location was perfect, being a few minutes walk to the train station and the Dom, many restaurants , bars and kiosks, as well as public transport stops and a taxi rank. The 24 hour reception was very good, with the staff speaking English. We didn't try the hotel restaurant, cafe or fitness gym area but they all looked great. The twin bedroom apartment (zip link bed) was immaculately clean, large and airy. With a balcony, dining area, lounge area, wet room shower and kitchenette. The kitchen had a full size fridge with freezer compartment, a small oven, 4 ring hob, toaster and kettle. The WiFi was great, with no issues streaming video (to the TV through a phone with a HDMI cable) with TV's in both the lounge and bedroom. Overall, a quiet aparthotel in a great location. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

A microwave and a couple more pans and utensils in the kitchen would have been great but wasn't really an issue (there was a frying pan and a sauce pan).

The place was huge - both the room and the "hotel". It was a 1 bedroom apartment, full kitchen with everything you need from toaster to corkscrew to pots and pans - everything. Big bathroom, Big living room, Big bedroom. One wall from floor to ceiling, end to end , the length of the room was glass window. There was a balcony. The "hotel" had 2 restaurants and 2 coffee shops. One coffeeshop was in connection with the amazing pool, sauna and jacuzzi and full large workout room with very shiny exercise equipment. You walk through a garden before you arrive at the front desk. There's a little fountain in the garden. The 2 restaurants have french doors that open to the garden. It was all just way more than I expected. Just a few steps from train station and the cathedral. I was visiting for the gay pride parade. The gay bars and parade were about a 15 minute walk away but a wonderful walk. There are literally hundreds of places to eat/drink near by. I ate in town but had a cocktail in the hotel restaurant. I don't normally go for a swim but I did at this place. It was amazing. Oh, and there was a full gym. The guy at the exercise center invited me to join in the water aerobics class. I would have but didn't have the time. And all of that was without an extra charge. I fell in love with this place. It was sooooo spacious and sooooo clean and the front desk were amazingly friendly and helpful. I was just amazed by how wonderful this place is - so much so, that I am going back just to stay at the hotel.

Nothing could be better - it was over the top as it was. I was just about to book a 9 square meter room at another hotel for 10 euro less but then just before hitting accept button, I saw this place. A full apartment for only 10 euro more? Something must be wrong. Well....... what Booking dot com doesn't tell you is that this "hotel" is actually a senior center for old rich Germans. My husband is in a nursing home so I wasn't exactly shocked. The people living here aren't exactly ill, just old and obviously with money. What I am telling here does not exactly fall under the "What didn't you like" catagory. I am just giving you a heads up. I did notice other smart young traveler had also booked a "room" here. This place was an amazing deal.

Very spacious apartment, clean and comfortable, fast wifi and very central location. Reception staff were incredibly helpful both before and throughout our stay. We stayed in early July when it was extremely hot, the staff alerted us that there wasn't any air conditioning and made sure to offer fans for our room. There was major building work opposite us which started early in the mornings but we were lucky and it wasn't too noisy even with the windows open. We would definitely book here again if we came back to Cologne

Maybe a few extra pieces of cutlery/crockery/glasses would have been nice in the kitchen, but I'm sure they would have been provided if we'd asked for more

The location is very close to the Dom, which was great for exploring the city. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was even better than the photos. It had lovely natural light throughout the day, and we especially loved the veranda, where we enjoyed our meals on sunny days. The apartment was very clean, with regular visits from the cleaning staff to change towels, take out the garbage, and more. It is located in a residence that also houses senior residents, which we found lovely. The building offers many services such as a gym, pool, and restaurant, and there is also a lovely garden outside. The staff was very nice and helpful. The area is very quiet, with little to no noise from outside, allowing us to rest wonderfully. The shower was great —very spacious and comfortable. The beds were also very confortable.

Not much. We ate at the on-site restaurant, and the food was very tasty. However, the menus were only in German, and although the staff did their best to assist us, only one of them spoke a little of English. No problem in the reception though - the staff explained everything very clearly. Also, the kitchen is equipped with most of the basic essentials, but it would be helpful to have a microwave and more tableware and dishes.

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and the apartment was so spacious and clean! Really enjoyed my stay - the swimming pool area was fabulous as well, as are all the lovely outdoor spaces to walk and sit in. I am actually from Cologne originally and loved the interactions with both staff and residents. Also - the food in the restaurant was lovely. The staff will literally try and do all they can for you, rarely have I received such great service - kudos to the reception staff!

Not at all the fault of the residence as out of their control, but I was given a room literally right opposite mayor construction sites and on weekdays the nouse was so bad I could not even slightly open the window. I would suggest checking with them where you are located and if you can have a quiet room. Im not easily disturbed but this was noise on a different level :)

Although the building was a bit outdated, it was spotlessly clean and comfortable, everything was working properly. Even though it was in the city center and near the train station, it was quiet and rooms had great sound isolation. Plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes around. It's home for elderly people and I read that for some it was big dissapointment, but this fact didn't bother me at all. Contrary, it meant it was really quiet and for me it is important to sleep well. Plenty of space in the room (I'd call it rather apartment), there is a kitchen with all necessary apliances, even a balcony. Staff was helpful as well.

The only downside was very poor internet connection, one of the poorest I've seen recently. Fortunately, I had plenty of mine.

The location was great, 5 minutes of walking distance from the central train station and the Kölner dom. The room was spacious and clean. I was there with my elder mother, so the place was a perfect choice for us. Everything was really comfortable. The use of sauna and the pool was free, and it was really good for a nice break when my mom was tired of walking around the city.

There were only two of everything in the kitchen, two forks, two spoons, two glasses, two plates etc., nothing for serving. No coffee machine, only a kettle. They did not replace the tea, coffee, salt etc.

Super easy access to the train station and Kohn Messe for the trade fair. Good markets and restaurants nearby.

The spa services could not accept credit cards from the U.S. so I had to pull cash from an ATM which meant I had two fees, their bank and my bank plus a less than desirable exchange rate compared to my credit card provider. Also, no one refreshed the complimentary coffee and tea packets after what was initially provided and I was staying nine days.
