Lovely large rooms - we booked 2 superior rooms which were allocated on the top floor - just the 2 rooms so was like a suite. Location was good - quiet but near to everything. The hotel operates an online check in and your key is on your phone, so little interaction with staff but everyone we saw was friendly. Great stay

Staff was really unkind to my neice, I thought it was ok, just not as friendly as I am used to, which is fine. The issues were with the room, gorgeous room BUT the shower was leaking, the hair dryer worked for a bit then died THEN the sewage smell was absolutely terrible, wifi was off and on, no lifejackets for kids for pool, not very kid friendly in general

Loved staying at this little place on my quick trip to Cologne. It was perfect for me for one night while I explored the local Christmas Markets. Hotel room was very clean and comfortable. Not too bad of a walk to get to the subway to transfer to the Main train station. Would definitely stay here again if I return to the city!

A comfy stay

Very comfortable stay in a deluxe double that had plenty of room for us. Room well let and whole hotel very clean, though housekeeping tended to start a bit early for us. The bar / lounge area is nice and had a good atmosphere, a comfy space to be in. Able to leave luggage on our last day so we could get the most from our time. Happy with our booking.

This is a good property, it’s very well situated to visit the main sights of cologne. The hotel condition and amenities are good, but a few things bring down the rating. They only clean the rooms every 3 days. Basically, my room was never cleaned during my 2 night stay. The staff, with the exception of the lady who helped me check out, lack friendliness. They were not rude or anything, just very brief in their communication without any warmth or hospitality. These are areas they should work on. Overall this is a perfectly adequate hotel for a few days in cologne.

I'd recommend

Hotel was very close to the chocolate factory. Could be a good or bad thing depending on if you want to eat healthy and if you like breakfast with chocolate. Hotel staff was very friendly and the room was comfortable. My only complaint is the bathroom, but especially the showers are very small. Usually hit my elbows on something
