We stayed in a room that was perfect for a family of 4 with 2 separate bedroom areas. Location of hotel was perfect; close to main train station and the Cologne Cathedral. Very walkable to shopping and the Rhine. Very convenient and felt safe. Minor drawback was that the room felt warm even with fans going and moderate temperatures outside.
