As others have mentioned the shower pressure is good in a typical small European combined bathroom. The location is the great. No frills but clean and close to everything. Tv not working but no front desk. No in room temperature control but seems to be a timed system. For us in December it was a cold room.

There is no staff at the hotel. The heating system does not work and there is no one to support. No one answers the phones. The room is freezing and caused us to catch a cold. The room is generally clean and tidy. You may prefer it if you like it cold.

Receptionist very to the point which I like. Comfortable bed. Motion sensor lights in the bathroom which is a bit annoying. Near to the cathedral so you will hear church bells at all hours of the night. Some noisy pigeons outside of our window.

Pretty mid hotel. Room was clean, but lobby is completely under construction but didn’t start until later in the day, so I wasn’t disturbed. Wasn’t able to store my backpack anywhere before and after check in. Location is fantastic, close to restaurants, shopping and attractions.

I stayed at this hotel at the end of September. I booked triple room with breakfast for 1 night. The hotel is close to the train station. The location is nice, you can walk and find restaurant with Rhein river view. …

Tl;dr: had a nice time, good location for a good price, but if you're looking for more than a place to sleep, try somewhere else.Pros: Great location in the old town area, central to Cologne. Good free continental breakfast, very tasty, especially the cheeses. Lady at reception was lovely. Shower very powerful and warm. Very very clean and tidy throughout the hotel.Cons: no kettle in room for tea/coffee. No lamp beside bed. No lift to other floors which would be difficult for anyone who has limited mobility. Shower unfortunately was not in a tray so did leak over the bathroom floor very quickly. Maybe consider changing the artwork in the room.

We only stayed for one night. The hotel is very small, it looks modern inside and it looks like it has been refurbished not too long ago. The bathroom was fully tiled and the shower worked perfectly. …

This place is not a hotel.. it is an apartment building managed by an unfriendly, unhelpful and rude man. This place does not offer luggage minding services so when my partner and I arrived at midday after hours of travelling imagine our surprise when the building entrance was locked and noone was there to greet/help us. When we called the number on the door, the owner was rude and abrupt, "2pm check in, no luggage service, can't help"... how is this a "hotel" standard?... it's not. This "hotel" should send their guests an email or message letting them know this isn't part of their service instead of expecting people to read the fine print. Other travellers also arrived at the same time as us with the same problem and were forced to sit at a nearby Cafe and wait for 2 hours. I could have forgiven the lack of guest services if it weren't for the rudeness of the owner. Needless to say we booked elsewhere, an actual "hotel" with basic guest services. PLEASE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE.

Totally unacceptable welcoming. There is basically no reception. Your only way for a communication is via the door bell. No luggage room, no late check out. The window of the the room was not able to be fully closed. Being their in a windy night in the middle of February and the whole night I was listening the wind and feeling it. The heating system was not turned on when I arrived and window was opened. I had to turn the heat on and go out to find a warm place for a dinner and wait for the room to become warm. At least the rooms and baths are clean. But totally do not recommend to anyone.
