I had a wonderful stay here! The rooms were comfortable, well-designed, and had a cozy vibe that made me feel right at home. One of the highlights was the breakfast – not just the delicious food, but the room it was served in. The ambiance was incredible, with a unique, charming atmosphere that made breakfast feel like a special event each morning.What truly set this hotel apart was the outstanding service. I accidentally left my sunglasses behind, and the staff went above and beyond to track them down. They even helped arrange shipping them back to the U.S., which I greatly appreciated. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made all the difference.

A nice hotel in the center of the southern part of Cologne. Many restaurants, bars and theaters can be reached on foot. Arriving by car is virtually impossible as the chance of finding a parking space is very small. My room was quite modern, but quite dated with a few blemishes. The cleanliness was ok. The staff was consistently friendly.

Rooms were clean and renovated with modern accessories. There was a teapot and working (folding) desk in the room. Bathroom was good but the water was not hot during my stay (maybe something was wrong, didn't ask). Thrre was no breakfast 🥞 and you have to drive to somewhere to have one. That makes it less convenient when you don't have enough time for driving to another place for breakfast, e.g. when you are hurry for business meeting.The price was high.

Decent medium-sized hotel in a quiet but central location. By bus (stop 150m) approx. 16 minutes to the main stationBuilt in 2008, at that time everything was upscale. Since then, the plaster has been crumbling a bit (small defects in the room) - but that's complaining at a high level :)Very friendly staff, comfortable beds. The bathroom and toilet are only separated from the rest of the room by a glass door (which doesn't reach the high ceiling, so everything is a bit open), so you should be familiar :D

Price-performance not okay, because the rooms weren't really clean and the single rooms were extremely cramped and narrow and noisy.Breakfast is okay and the staff are nice and helpful.

The room is functional. However, for some reason the socket is only on one side of the bed.2 out of 4 sockets on the wall opposite the bed didn't work, which is why the fan didn't work. It couldn't simply be unplugged and plugged into another outlet because the outlet was bricked up somewhere in the wall or closet. They brought us a new one, but to turn it on we had to constantly leave the table unfolded, which made it difficult to walk around the room. The shower cubicle has no door, so the floor is constantly wet. There is no lighting at all above and next to the bed. Apparently this implies that you can only sleep in the hotel in the evening.The internet didn't work, the WiFi signal just didn't work in our room.UPD:They converted our room to a new one with WiFi, but this time with a non-working desk. The table lock was broken and did not allow the table to be opened.

If something is left in the room when you leave, it will not be found. The employees don't seem to care either.
