    The worst thing is that there is a hot plate but there is no absorption…

    We like the location and also then space in the apartment.

    Very close to the train station so easy to reach other areas in Cöln. No key is also a bonus, just a code to the doors. Trendy look. Comfortable bed. Good Wi-Fi connection. Coffee machine with capsules, some kitchen accessories.

    Wifi was a bit spotty one night, but could have been the provider's fault rather than LIVs Some noise from the stairwell, can hear people coming and going, however this was infrequent and not late at night Could do with some more shelving or drawers/wardrobe to store clothes- we ended up keeping ours in our bags as there was nowhere really to put them other than a single small shelf

    Extremely convenient location only a couple of minutes walk from the main station and Cologne Cathedral, yet set back enough from the main roads to be relatively quiet Very clean room and bathroom, the kitchenette is also a nice touch with a fridge, kettle and hotplate along with plenty of kitchenware and cutlery

    The floor was tiled, which was a worry with little ones as they can slip/fall out of bed etc. The sofa bed was very squeaky and no lamps for evening lighting

    Location was great very close to the train station, the place felt secure with the keypad entrance and locked gate to the street, clean, tidy, everything we could need was there, iron etc.

    No parking available. We had rented a car so we had to find public parking over by the cathedral and walk to the apartment. The other downside was that there was no elevator. We were on the top floor so dragging all of our luggage up 60 steps after walking a half mile from the parking garage was a little brutal.

    This was a great little apartment in the heart of Cologne. We were within walking distance of the cathedral, train station, shopping and food.

    Curtains were far too small to block the sunlight. No Aircon so it was very nice hot. Bathroom drains absolutely stank.

    The stairs are too narrow and has no lift, so if you are travelling with the family you have to carry the luggages up to your room. In our case, we were placed in in the 3rd floor.

    Bare basics, but everything you need...

    It would have been great to have a toaster oven or microwave, cooking everything on a mini-hob is a bit more complicated. The room we stayed in was also only one story up, so very close to the street, and you can hear every person walking by. It's a side street, so it doesn't happen too often, but noisy when it does.

    It was so lovely to have a cheap, bare basics option in a busy city. The bed was comfy. They provided plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, spare toothbrushes, etc. It's a superb location, right next to the Central Station.

    Only two nespresso pods for 2 people for 3 nights stay. The toiletries were literally a shower gel and some toothbrushes. Only camomile or lemon tea. No vending machine. No air con. Window looks directly into office across the street so you have to have the curtains closed all the time, which in almost 30 degree heat was uncomfortable. Netflix doesn’t work and non of the apps did on the tv either. Make sure to take an adapter as no usb slots.

    Super comfy bed, very clean. Centrally located. Locking system is very secure. Good sized fridge. All basic cooking needs provided for.
