Nice quiet hotel 20/25 mins walk to the cathedral, plenty of cafes/bars in the surrounding area and a small supermarket next door, lovely cafe underneath for a coffee. Great air con that was needed in the June heat, only downside was there was a lot of natural light that came in on a morning (if that bothers you) would certainly stay again.

Clean and nice rooms. Shower was so and so - low pressure. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided by the hotel’s cafe was a letdown and did not match the price we paid for the a la carte items.

I stayed two full weeks here for a work trip. My room was spacious, the bathroom too, and equipped with everything one might need. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant downstairs was nice. The area is full of cute little restaurants, bars and cafés. The university and the city centre are within about 15 minutes walking distance and if you prefer public transport that's no problem either. The only other comment I can make, which I think applies to German hotels in general, is that the pillows are much larger and much softer than most other places I've visited, which takes a few nights to get used to

We had a lovely room overlooking the street corner. This gave us a nice cross breeze for sleeping as there is no air conditioning. We had a balcony and were able to have easy bread and cheese suppers some evenings.  …

The hotel works right up to the point when you reach the first floor and smell the chemicals from the cheap, dirty carpet. It's a pity.  …

The rooms are a bit dated. The beds and pillows are uncomfortable. They say that they have limited parking places but actually the parking is somewhere else and they only cover 15€ out of 30€ that the parking costs. The cleaning could also improve. Breakfast was ok. Front desk staff was nice.

Whenever I go to Cologne for Carnival, I always stay at Chelsea hotel. The staff is beyond excellent and the location is great. The rooms used to be bigger and nicer, but now they have gotten a little smaller. …

No ironing board in the room. The room was very hot despite the heating being off. Single pane glass noisy outside. Easy to hear other guests in the hotel. Room was clean, bathroom is new and nice. Friendly and helpful staff. Very tiny elevator.

This place is definitely for young hipster business travelers who are willing to put up with a lot of mistakes and extreme inconveniences. Where to start? We arrived at about 6pm. …
