    Expect some street noise as in the centre of the city.

    Very central for the station. The staff were very helpful and they served a good breakfast.

    A bit noisy outside, especially Friday evening & night, perhaps will hard to sleep with open windows. Also, not accessible with wheelchair or stroller (stairs to 1st floor without elevator)

    Good location, great friendly staff, good breakfast (not a huge variety of meals, but the hotel is quite small therefore OK), clean rooms. A lot of shops and restaurants (all value for money) nearby.

    A note for those who read with care No elevator to glide through air Stairs to climb, a bit of flair But the charm and comfort, beyond compare

    In Cologne, a hotel stands, so fine Just steps from the railway line Breakfast delights, a morning's cheer Close to the station, travellers, draw near . The staff may not excel in English, true, But their warmth and kindness shine through in all they do Helpful, kind, in every way Brightening up each guest's stay . A room with a fridge, a pleasant surprise A supermarket close, a convenient prize Wi-fi that races like the wind Budget travel, joyously pinned

    A little inconveniences for accessing the hotel, being located upstairs,

    The friendliness of the staff, and located within the city center. They provide a fridge in the room.. I love the hotel

    The concept of handing over the room key at the reception if the guest goes out. I have never heard of a hotel that has this policy. It's actually not sensible if someone has something valuable kept in the room.

    The hotel is cozy and has all the amenities a standard B&B would have.

    See note about there being no lift - just be aware.

    Very friendly, attentive and happy host. Beautiful breakfast, spacious room with fridge and coffee making facilities. No lift, but you only have to carry your luggage up once and down once (we were on the 3rd floor); it wasn't a problem for us - we're reasonably fit and in our 70s - it may be a problem for some. We would happily stay here again.

    Guests with heavy luggage should now that there is no elevator.

    Old-fashioned in a good way, e.g. there is actually a human receptionists on duty 24/7. Central yet very quiet. Exceptional value for money.

    There is no lift do have to carry luggage up and down several flights of stairs. Although not an issue for me as I use earplugs, the proximity to the train station and street may be noisy for some

    Great value for money hotel around a 5min walk from cologne Central railway station. Breakfast was reasonable (bread with cheese and variety of cured meats), fruit, pastries. The hotel is on a great street with a variety of restaurants from Turkish (mangal restaurant), Vietnamese (hoai viet) and dessert shops. 3 min walk to breslauer platz subway Station. 7 min walk to cologne cathedral

    Excellent location- 25 min walk to the zoo/botanical gardens, 25 min walk the other way to the Lindt chocolate factory, 5-10 min walk to the cathedral, 5 min walk to the train station. Staff- both staff were lovely. Past reviews stated staff don’t speak English- but you are in Germany so I think that is to be expected. I tried to speak a little german(badly) but we had good communication they were extremely welcoming and friendly so don’t let that put you off. If in doubt use the translation app on your phone. Breakfast- selection of cold meat and cheese, croissants etc. coffee tea and orange juice. I would say you expect this from a small hotel and it was All nice. Room- very very spacious room, comfy beds, windows opened out far so you can people watch. Comfy rooms good value I would say from what you would pay. I would definitely stay here again it’s a little gem!!

    The location is good as it’s close to the Köln HBF, however at night it gets sketchy and super loud.

    The staff were lovely and the hotel was very very clean and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating. The breakfast was good too.
