Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The walk to the Cologne Cathedral was very short and safe. The location is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. The only negative comment I would make is that the room was not air-conditioned, but the staff provided a portable air conditioner and a fan which made the room comfortable at night. I would recommend staying here.

Excellent location
With this hotel located so close to the main train station in Cologne I was surprised at the low cost. The room was a really nice size and although we found the pillows a little unusual they were still comfortable. It was a hot evening and despite the window letting in some air it would have really benefitted from some air conditioning. The sound from the trains may be a problem for some but we got used to the sound shortly after settling in. The staff at this hotel were extremely pleasant and welcoming and the breakfast on offer in the morning had a nice selection which was constantly topped up.

Ideal weekend hotel
Great location just a couple of minutes from the central train station and old town. Plenty of shops, convenience stores and bars within a five minute walk. The front desk speaks excellent english. The room could use an update but was good enough. The hotel is very well priced and I would stay there again.

Great for a short break
The only thing that stops me from giving it a five rating overall is the fact that there was no air conditioning. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. A great stay.

No aircondition in the room even if it says so. Should be adjusted so its not false marketing. Otherwise good hotel delivers on its promise.

Good location but a bit noisy.
Great location by the main station and the main sights of Cologne. Basic but comfortable. Street noise was a bit loud and noise from the corridor outside the room was disturbing.
