It was better than expected. No A/C in summer was a bummer but the room was well kept and the check in was received earlier than expected which nice on such a warm day walking with bags.

Friendly staff and daily cleaning. Hot water and heating is good. Location is pretty good close to the center. However the pillows are very old and not so comfortable. Wifi is pretty bad with interruptions

Clean, a little dated. Very friendly and helpful staff. Biggest issue was a delay in receiving our check-in code.

Perfect for just a place to sleep

Very sweet little room we had to twins. Storage is good 2 wardrobes to share stuff. All very clean and beds were comfy. Check I in very easy they just give you a code for keys. Bathroom was clean however it was very small and no shower curtain or door so the floor got very wet and had to use our hand towels to mop it up leaving us with no fresh hand towels

Well-maintained hotel that is well placed for anything you want to do in Kõln. I have stayed here a couple of times and it will the first place I try to book into on the next visit
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Perfect for a few nights stay. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. More like an Airbnb as you check yourself in but this suited me fine. We didn’t receive the code to check in until 1 hour before check in time, which was completely fine, but think the listing should be updated to explain this so there is no confusion.

Just what we needed, affordable and walkable to the Laxness arena. Window opens for air circulation, no A/C. We will return.

Decent, but average and small room

Had no issues with my stay, but the room was average and small which was good enough for me.

4/10 Fair

Bed and pillows are uncomfortable and smelling. The only good things are location and price.

2/10 Poor

The service was absolutely terrible. It was impossible to reach the property, none of our messages through the app were answered. They even got our check-in day wrong. At 2AM, the emergency contact number posted on the door told us we couldn’t check in until the following day. When I offered to send a screenshot of my Expedia reservation, she refused and insisted we wait. I sent it anyway, and only then did she finally give us a code. The entire process was stressful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. The only upside is its location.

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, ist sauber und günstig. Das Zimmer war sehr einfach eingerichtet mit einem bunten Möbelmix. Auch dort war alles sauber. Ansonsten eben etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Einen kurzen telefonischen Kontakt empfand ich als sehr freundlich.

Top Preis -Leistungsverhältnis. Rewe ist 3 Min entfernt, Cafe, Bäckerei (und Vietnamese) gegenüber. Allerdings kann man die Fenster zum Schlafen trotz Ohrstöpsel nicht wirklich geöffnet lassen, da der Lärm zu laut ist. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern ist alles top. Nur dass es es bei Hitze dann ziemlich warm im Raum wird, da weder Klima noch Ventilator zur Verfügung stehen.
