Located in a central and convenient area of Cologne close to restaurants and shopping options. Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly. We needed to store our bags when we checked out. They didn't really have a proper secure place to do so.

Would stay again

Central location, comfortable and a free breakfast. Would have appreciated some vegan options for breakfast. Noise can be heard from the street but this quietened down overnight on the Monday. There was an issue with the new fire alarm system on the Tuesday morning but this was resolved after it happened a few times. Would recommend this affordable hotel if not looking for anything extremely special.

Loved the location, walking distance to the cathedral, Rhine river, train station. In the heart of old town. Breakfast was super. Only complaints are that the elevator was out of order and inless you took a shower in off hours, there was no hot water. We would rebook this hotel if we return to Cologne.
