I was looking for one night stay, as arrival was in late afternoon and leaving next morning after breakfest, so fancy hotel would be just waste of money. …

Nice small hotel. Rooms are small but convenient and comfortable.I had a single room but I guess there are double rooms. Managers are really kind. Breakfast is really good. Only one problem : soundproofing, better for you to have quiet neighbours. Nice hotel for one or two nights.

Pro: Location is close to the university clinic and the staff is nice. Con: Rooms are quite old and used up. Also the door of the room was far to thin, so forget about sleeping in peace.

I went to this hotel last September, the staff was very welcome and helpful, although the hotel is very small and a bit old it was very clean. Next time that I will be visiting Cologne I will sure consider Hotel Elite.
