A perfect place! They did actually save my life - I just crashed into and got a room without booking, meanwhile all the hotels nearby were booked out. Location is also great - a quiet street with kiosks, pubs and cafes. 5 min walk to a tram and bus stations + 5 min to the central railway station. Thank you very much! Hope to see you again!

Nice small hotel in a very good location and friendly staff. We opted to book with breakfast which was nice and the fresh, boiled egg was a nice touch, however with the great range of bakeries nearby these may be a better option if your trip is on a budget

Just 5 mins from main station along quiet walkway/road and not much more to cathedral. Basic but very clean and welcoming. Very good breakfast with choice of fruit, meats, salmon, cheeses, breads etc plus good coffee. …

Good value hotel only a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof. Clean spacious room and bathroom, with a good shower. Wifi was quick to connect and fast enough. The cold breakfast was excellent. Note that there is no lift, and there are four storeys! The staff were all very pleasant. A little noise from the railway and street, but no problem with the windows closed. The area in which the hotel is located doesn't look great, but we've stayed near here many times and it's very safe.

I arrived just before midnight on a Sunday and left at 06:00 on Monday, so this was purely a place to lay my head. It's a good location, close to the central station and seemed to have quite a few shops and restaurants nearby. …

Room size is big, full breakfast, near Cologne Central Station, walkway from station to the hotel is good for carrying the luggages. Hotel allowed to keep the luggage after checking out.Pls aware that no elevator, and might be inconvenient for heavy luggages.Staff cannot speaker English, we communicate by body language but it went very well.
