Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were great, especially for the price, just a floor above, with a view-fantastic panorama of old Cologne. They were very comfortable and included a good variety of beverages in the mini-bar. The service was very accommodating and helpful, with small talk and they treated me well, though they weren't the friendliest all the time. The location was very good, just a short walk along the river from the train station and near several restaurants and bars. The dining experience was nice and not too expensive, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel had a warm and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. The rooms, although a bit dusty and in need of an update, were provided with a kettle for tea and coffee. Despite the air conditioning struggling to cool down the room, leaving the window open helped, making it a decent stay overall.
