A quaint old-fashioned hotel in a quiet back street very close to Koln Central Station, cathedral, and the old town. Breakfast buffet very plentiful, with mature staff making the stay pleasant.

Only 6 minutes walking distance from Cologne Central station, super comfortable bed (best nights' sleep I've had), good shower pressure, all in all would highly recommended. Would have been good to have kettle and tea making facilities in the room but there was a hot water dispenser in the reception (which I didn't use).

Clean room. Very nice staff. Convenient location, close to train station and shops and restaurants. My room didn’t have a toilet inside but it did have one in the hallway. If it wasn’t for that, I would have rated this hotel excellent instead of good.

The property is very close to the Hauptbanhof, Rhine River and DOM. Staff was very friendly and the property was clean. Not the nicest neighborhood but a very traditional German Urban hotel.

Das Hotel liegt in einer Seitenstraße direkt am Hauptbahnhof. Somit ist man super an den Nah- und Fernverkehr angebunden, sowie an die U-Bahn. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und auch echt freundlich. Es ist nicht laut, sauber und man hat alles was man braucht.

古い見た目の通りにありますが、室内は非常に清潔で、客室やシャワールームは掃除が行き届いています。 また、この周辺にはカフェやレストランがたくさんあるので、ホテルの食事はなしで問題ないです。 スタッフの方は朗らかで、英語でもドイツ語でも対応してくれます。 もしドイツに留学に来て、寮に移動するまでの間に宿泊するなら大変おすすめです。

Ruhiges Zimmer zum Innenhof, kostenfreie Parkmöglichkeit und sehr freundliches Personal. Kleinere Zimmer und leider ziemlich hellhörig.

Although the location was excellent, the property itself was very basic. Sharing a bathroom/toilet with the rest of the floor not very nice. Did not help as temperature was 30deg, no air con or fans on offer. It was however very cheap, so you get what you pay for.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Das erste Problem war, dass es wegen Personalmangel kein Frühstück gab, lediglich einen Kaffeespender. Brötchen habe ich dann im Hauptbahnhof Köln bei BACKWERK geholt. Auch konnte das Gepäck nicht bis nach Mittag gelagert werden, da das Hotel um 10 Uhr schloss. Das war vorher alles nicht bekannt. Wahrscheinlich hätte man zu dem Preis von 168 € ein wesentlich besseres Hotel buchen können.

Minimal, But Updated and Clean Property

The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The rooms were updated and well-appointed. There is no lift so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Shared bathrooms were clean and we generally didn't have any problems having access to them (did have to go to a bathroom on a different floor once or twice). We would stay again.
