Very close to the Cathedral and train station within one block. In the middle of all of the restaurants and historic area. No staff really on site, a desk clerk for a few hours but nothing needed, the instructions are clear and they contacted me before our arrival. Our room was quite large with an upstairs loft!

Not a good hotel

Not clean, uncomfortable and loud. Also, be aware the front office is only open 2-6pm, so you can't check in any other time or leave your luggage. Pay a little bit more to stay elsewhere!

Great location, modern, clean and practical for a short stay. Note there's not lift if you have a large case. Polite and efficient staff. May be noisy over summer nights as the building gets warm.

Sehr gute Lage inmitten der Kölner Altstadt, Renovierte saubere Zimmer. Kein freundlicher Empfang > die Mitarbeiterin fragte warum sie nur 1 Namen in der Anmeldung vorfinden würde obwohl wir doch 10 Personen seien. So musste sie tatsächlich arbeiten und 9 Namen eingeben. Katastrophales Frühstück > minimalistisch Auswahl, helle, steinharte Aufbackbrötchen, ungenießbarer Filterkaffee.

Custo benefício não vale a pena.

A limpeza e a localização excelentes. No entanto a cama era desconfortável, o chuveiro só caia água de um lado da ducha, muito barulho no corredor e o café da manhã com poucas opções. Não tinha frutas, nem bolo, nem vareidade de pães. Pelo custo do hotel não vale a pena.

Städtereisehotel

Wir waren zu einer Städtereise unterwegs. Das Hotel liegt sehr günstig in der Innenstadt und unser Dreibettzimmer ist für diesen Zweck sinnvoll und schön eingerichtet. Zur Sauberkeit und Rezeption gibt es keine negativen Anmerkungen. Das Frühstück war in Buffetform und vollkommen ausreichend. Bei Gehbehinderung müsste beachtet werden, dass es keinen Aufzug gibt.

숙소도 깨끗하고. 기차역에서 가깝고. 주변구경 이동에 매우 편리한 위치입니다. 그러나 계단만 있어서 짐을 옮기기 불편하고 check in out 시간이 정해져 있어서 아침일찍 출발하거나 늦게 도착하는 사람에게는 불편할듯합니다.

Attenzione al check in: entro le 18:00!!

Arrivato a destinazione dopo un lungo viaggio in treno ha trovato l'hotel chiuso e nessuno a rispondere al telefono. Motivo: Check in entro le 18:00 riportato solo nelle info utili ma non nel modulo di prenotazione. Essendo un check-in anticipato rispetto alla norma sarebbe importante metterlo in evidenza tra le condizioni di cancellazione

Adequate for one night stay

Room was very small and had an unpleasant smell. Could have done with the windows being left open for a while. I wasn't able to get the TV to work - there were two remotes and maybe a set top box or something but no instructions. It didn't bother me unduly Good location in the heart of the old town with plenty of bars and restaurants very close by. It's a nicely furnished room in a very simple style but there's no getting away from it being such a small room even for a single. There's no fridge or microwave and no kettle or tea coffee making facilities. There's a clean drinking glass in the room but nothing to drink. A bottle of water by the glass would have been welcome. Half a dozen or so power sockets (none with usb) for charging devices and the WiFi seemed pretty good as well
