Very good Breakfast, pleasant and welcoming staff here. Hotel located in a quiet street only a few minutes from main train station, River and old town bars and restaurants about a 10 minute walk. Would definitely recommend staying at this Hotel.

Very close to the central station and a supermarket so great location. The breakfast was ok. If you have a sweet tooth you will probably like it a lot. Eggs made fresh was a nice service. Friendly staff. I had a room right next to the entrance and the door slammed at all hours. The room had a fan but no AC, and hardly any warm water in the shower.

Only got myself a small room, but it was very well situated near the main train station. There are some great restaurants nearby and it's a brief stroll to the cathedral. Breakfast was a treat, classic german-style buffet with eggs cooked to order.

I love staying at this location! The staff was fantastic and the breakfasts were wonderful! The room was cosine clean and the bathroom was great although I wish the showerhead was a little higher quality. Overall, I thought it was a great experience and I would stay here again.

8/10 Very good

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but fairly small. Unfortunately all I could heal all night was the footsteps of the guests in the room above me, which sounded a bit like they were part of the Riverdance crew.

Location is excellent. Within a very short walk to the station and all the sights. Spacious room with private bathroom and kitchenette. Downside is there is no lift in the building. We would however stay there again.

4/10 Fair

First the positive about this apartment building converted into a hotel: excellent, central location, nice decor, and great breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, three key elements that make for a standard hotel room were missing: Wi-Fi signal didn’t go beyond one bar and mostly didn’t connect at all; wall mounted television was unplugged with the power outlet 2 meters up the wall with no way to reach it; the shower, even after letting it run for five minutes plus did not provide anything beyond tepid temperature. The room was extremely warm despite the two wall heaters being turned off. I really wanted to like this place more, but unfortunately can’t give it more than two stars.

Great service and breakfast

Fantastic service and kind staff! Good and varied breakfast. Central location by the main station, but a bit dodgy area at night. Funky coloured room - mine was all red and black - which was not my taste.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a great location, block and a half from the central train station (Hauptbonhof), and the Cathedral. We had a studio apartment. The staff was incredible. The breakfast was fantastic, with outstanding and I mean outstanding, service. The desk staff were very helpful in giving directions and printing tickets to events that we purchased online. We would stay there again without question.

Good option in a perfect location

The hotel was in a perfect location, just a few minute walk from the Dom. Simple, but very clean with good beds. Staff should be specially mentioned (reception, breakfast room) as it was superb, very helpful and delivered the best service ever! Very good breakfast: layout, choice, very good coffee. Can not fault it in any way. To be mentioned, that the reception and the breakfast room is in a sister hotel on the same road (1min walk). The check-in late at night can be that bit trickier (reception closed) and you will need to walk down the road for the breakfast.

Hot night in Koln

It was very hot during our stay in Koln - over 38C. There was no air-conditioning and no lift. so getting up the stairs to the unit was a challenge. There was a fan which operated all night and the window was wide open - noise was less of a problem than heat. The hotel was well located near the Central Station, which was important as we were travelling by train. The station also provided access to some shopping for drinks etc. The main shopping centre was within walking distance.

Nicely presented accommodation. Good breakfast and effificent and friendly staff. Good location. 5 mins by foot from main station. Quiet street. Old property and not sound proof inside so there is noise coming from floorboards etc. I wasn't aware I needed to check in at a different property. It may have been in an email from the accommodation but any correspondance I received was in German which I don't understand. Checking in meant keying in a 10 digit code to a door pad which is fine but there was no light in the hall and I couldn't see the door key pad. The number was too long for me to remember and light with my phone's torch. This was very frustrating as the check in process became very drawn out.

I stayed here over Gamescom. It was clean, but as with many hotels in Cologne, it is small rooms, and hot without any air condition. Breakfast was decent, service good, but overall way to expensive for what it is. But so are most places in Cologne during the Gamescom week.
