A warning for anyone looking to stay here, and especially book the "apartment", this is no better than a hostel. The "apartment" is in fact three rooms on the top floor and a small, tired bathroom. There is no communal area you'd expect from an apartment, the rooms do not have air con, safes or fridges which is a basic amenity for a normal hotel room, let alone an apartment. The shower in the bathroom is not fit for purpose, the toilet is caked in grime, and there was a resident dead wasp on the floor of our entire stay, meaning the bathroom was not cleaned once. DO NOT stay here if you want to feel like you're staying in a hotel.

Kleines Hotel im Stadtviertel Köln-Deutz. Für Gäste, die auf eine Veranstaltung in der LANXESS Arena gehen: das Hotel ist etwa 10-15 min fußläufig erreichbar. Das Auto kann im Parkhaus der Arena abgestellt werden für einen Tagespreis von 20€. Vor dem Hotel und in der Umgebung sind Parkplätze eher rar. Für Gäste, die die Stadt besuchen wollen: der Bahnhof Köln/Deutz ist in etwa 5 min fußläufig erreichbar. Die Hohenzollernbrücke und der Kölner Dom in etwa 10 min bzw. 20 min zu Fuß. In der direkten Umgebung des Hotels gibt es einen Einkaufsmarkt, der zwischen 07:00 und 24:00 Uhr geöffnet hat. Zudem einen Bioladen, kleinere lokale Läden und Bäckereien, Cafés (auch Frühstück) und Kneipen, sodass man morgens gut in den Tag starten und abends den Tag ausklingen lassen kann. Lage also mehr als optimal. Zum Hotel: Preis Leistung sehr gut. Wir, zwei Erwachsene, haben eines der Doppelzimmer (Kompakt) gebucht. Das Zimmer hält, was es verspricht. Ein Doppelbett in einem recht kleinen, spartanisch eingerichteten Zimmer mit eigenem Bad. Zimmer und Bad waren sauber. Dennoch sollte man anmerken, dass das Zimmer sehr hellhörig, da es im Treppenhaus liegt und das Bett klein war und bei jeder Bewegung geknarzt hat. Grundsätzlich für ein bis zwei Nächte kein Problem, dennoch sollten sich die Bewohner des Zimmers sehr gut kennen, da wenig Raum zum Ausweichen ist. Fazit: Weiterempfehlung, falls o.g. Punkte kein Problem sind. Alternativ ein größeres Zimmer des Hotels buchen.

Nettes, kleines Hotel im Herzen von Deutz, nur 5 Gehminuten zum Bahnhof Messe/Deutz und auch zur Stadtbahn. Demnach super gelegen. Das Zimmer war zwar sehr klein, aber sauber und ordentlich. Das Bett lag sich super, die Dusche war heiß und kraftvoll. Eine Gratisflasche Mineralwasser stand bei der Ankunft bereit, eine nette Geste. Der digitale Check-in und Check-out funktionierten bestens, sodass wir keinerlei Probleme hatten. Für den Preis absolut in Ordnung. Wir würden wiederkommen. Einziges Manko: im Bad roch es sehr streng aus dem Abfluss neben der Toilette, das sollte behoben werden.

Unterkunft war vom Bahnhof aus gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Mit den nah gelegenen öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln kann man zielgerichtet zu Ausflügen starten. Günstig wäre auch ein Preisrabatt mit einem anderen Cafe in der Nähe günstig, welches schon vor 8 Uhr öffnet. Die klappbare Kofferablage war defekt bzw. schief/stark verbogen. Das Fenster war nicht richtig im Rahmen verankert, drohte herauszufallen, klapperte extrem bei Wind. Unter dem Bett wohnten viele Wollmäuse. Es war pro Person nur ein Duschtuch vorhanden.

Nettes kleines Hotel, zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber man hat wirklich alles versucht, um es so modern wie möglich zu gestalten. Ein- und auschecken war super einfach online möglich, Türen lassen sich per Handy öffnen. Mich hat etwas gestört, dass das Doppelzimmer nicht über ein Queen Bett verfügt hat, sondern zwei kleinere Matratzen. Und das Waschbecken im Zimmer statt im Badezimmer war nicht so toll. Aber wie gesagt, man hat sich wirklich alle Mühe gegeben. Obwohl die nächste Eckkneipe nicht weit weg ist, war das Zimmer trotzdem sehr ruhig. Gerade für einen kurzen Aufenthalt übers Wochenende oder zu einem Event in der Arena um die Ecke wirklich top.
