Convenient if characterless hotel

Handy for Cologne HBF, clean and efficient. Mostly a conference hotel, so no charm, but comfortable and does everything you need it to. A self-service breakfast was included and had plenty of options.

The most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed. I'm not sure how they landed on a 4* rating, but I'd put this hotel at hostel level. The website photos catfished me into booking this dire accommodation. The lights in the room won't go out unless the key card is taken out of the slot, but then my phone won't charge...! When I called reception he answered my call with "yeah?". Vile, tired, horrible hotel. Avoid!
