Morning tea was served in Reception
A traditional hotel with a front desk manned 24hrs a day, close to the main station. Morning tea was such a nice touch.

Minimal, But Updated and Clean Property
The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The rooms were updated and well-appointed. There is no lift so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Shared bathrooms were clean and we generally didn't have any problems having access to them (did have to go to a bathroom on a different floor once or twice). We would stay again.

A quaint old-fashioned hotel in a quiet back street very close to Koln Central Station, cathedral, and the old town. Breakfast buffet very plentiful, with mature staff making the stay pleasant.

Although the location was excellent, the property itself was very basic. Sharing a bathroom/toilet with the rest of the floor not very nice. Did not help as temperature was 30deg, no air con or fans on offer. It was however very cheap, so you get what you pay for.

Only 6 minutes walking distance from Cologne Central station, super comfortable bed (best nights' sleep I've had), good shower pressure, all in all would highly recommended.
Would have been good to have kettle and tea making facilities in the room but there was a hot water dispenser in the reception (which I didn't use).

Had a great stay, excellent value for money. It’s simple but very clean and well cared for. My room at the back was quiet and the bed is excellent. Basically around the corner of Köln Hauptbahnhof and the cathedral Dom, so both practical and attractive for excursions.
Not a very lively neighboorhood but that’s easily found nearby and provides a quiet rest. Will be happy to return!

The hotel was very nice inside, and the staff was helpful and kind. There's no elevator, so be prepared to carry your bags up some stairs. The street outside got a little loud in the morning, but was not bad overnight. Convenient location right near the train station!

Small room with no toilet nor shower in the room
I paid more than 100 €/night for a single room. There was no shower nor toilet in the room ! Way overpriced, but this was due to an exhibition taking place in Cologne. The positive point is that the persons at the reception are very friendly and ready to help !
