    The very narrow bathroom - the shower is a bit too high and getting out needs to be carefully navigated…

    The breakfast was really nice and plenty. I liked the overall choice.

    The temperature of the room was not sufficient, we were a little cold, and the double beds were two single beds combined, so this sometimes made it uncomfortable and the duvets were like baby duvets. Instead of a double quilt, they put two half single quilts, which is why I deducted the points. In terms of price performance, weekday prices are very good, but since we bought at the last minute on the weekend, it seemed too high for this hotel.

    We found the hotel the last night before our trip, so its location was very good for us. The woman at the reception was helpful and friendly. The room was small but okay for a night or two. The room and bathroom were clean. The bed was comfortable.

    It is a small hotel. Could have been cleaner in my opinion and the value for money was very unbalanced. We paid €700 for a room for one night, which is not worth €60. Even though there was a trade fair in town. It is just not justice the price.

    Location and breakfast was good. Staff very friendly.

    Needs air conditioning. There was a small fan which was pretty much useless. The shower was very small with just a curtain which was practically right up against you or water would leak out everywhere. No iron. There was a fridge but it was really noisy and the balcony was small with not much outlook. Wouldn't book if travelling in the warmer months.

    Very central with a little shop just across the road. Big comfortable bed.

    We weee on 3 rd floor , no elevator. We had booked 2 rooms , our friends had hot room on sunny side of building. very uncomfortable.

    one of few places where we could store our bikes( down narrow steep stairs) in basement. Our room was on shade side of hotel which made it comfortable, we had small balcony. Room was clean and beds we’re comfortable. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Dom, Aldi, Lidl and lots of restaurants.

    More choices for breakfast

    Breakfast was basic but plentiful. The location was perfect for me and the staff was helpful. The name hotel might be a bit misleading because I would classify it as a bed and breakfast; however it ticked the boxes for my needs.

    Nice hotel good for a visit to Koln.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Duplex Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    The hotel has no elevator, for us no problem, but needs to be made clear in the advertisement. The apartment on 4th level we were in has only a very light curtain in front of the large windows, there was no blocking of sun so around 05.00 the rooms were in full light. During the day the lack of sun blocking causes the apartment to feel like a green-house. This will be an issue certainly in summer months. I told the staff about this potential improvement, they told me they would work on it. Hopefully for next guests this will be solved, the cheap sunblock foil that was sticked on the outside of the windows is clearly not effective.

    Simple hotel with friendly personnel. Beds were very good. Shower was fine. Breakfast was great. Rooms very spacious and clean. Overall we had a good experience!! thanks for that Following remarks are only to improve the hotels services.

    It's not very well insulated and you can hear every word people are saying in the room next door.

    There were a different range of breads to choose from the breakfast, jam, ham , cereal eggs.... The location is good, just a quarter of an hour from the main station. The room was small but functional and clean: Staff was very friendly.

    At this price, I think the facilities and cleanliness were good. However, there was not electric water kettle in the room which I was taking for granted. But later on checked the hotel amenities, it wasnt written there in the list as well.

    Room was good, better than I expected at this price. Like other comments stated, that the rooms were not fully soundproof, that's true, but apart from it everything was neat,clean and good about the rooms. Privacy wise it was good and giving positive wibe.
