Basic, no frills hotel. Comfortable beds, good showers, bit noisy from traffic and no A/C.

I stayed for a week as a solo traveler for business, the hotel is very close to the station. I think it might be just bit priced. Breakfast was so so, did not have much veg food apart from Salads etc. Though as per instructions I used to hang my towel so that it dows not go to wash, they would still take it, so not environmentally Friendly. Ok for a short stay

Great location by the main station and the main sights of Cologne. Basic but comfortable. Street noise was a bit loud and noise from the corridor outside the room was disturbing.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The walk to the Cologne Cathedral was very short and safe. The location is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. The only negative comment I would make is that the room was not air-conditioned, but the staff provided a portable air conditioner and a fan which made the room comfortable at night. I would recommend staying here.

Bad Bad Bad experience. I paid for family room and 2 days I was placed in large room then they moved to a basic room as they overbooked the hotel rooms. Horrible treatment, would not recommend and would never stay in future.

No aircondition in the room even if it says so. Should be adjusted so its not false marketing. Otherwise good hotel delivers on its promise.

年末にツインに泊まりました。駅からも近く、スタッフもフレンドリーでよかったのですが、バスルームが使いにくかったことと部屋のフロアーの汚れが目立ちました。 シャワーは排水が悪くて使っているうちに足首までたまり溢れそうになりました。 朝食は美味しくて種類も豊富で満足しています。

Das Hotel ist günstig gelegen am HBF, damit einher geht der Lärm und der Schmutz der Umgebung. Ich hatte Glück und ein Zimmer nach hinten - also weniger Geräuschkulisse. Das Hotel ist alt, individuell, und verhältnismäßig gut in Schuss gehalten. Das Personal ist auch: individuell und irgendwie nett. Mir hat es dort gefallen. Kleines Zimmer, noch kleineres Bad, alles sauber.
