NOPE.This place only survives due to the good location, but there are a LOT of hotels here! I advise you (you!) to choose the one with better wifi (the wifi here SUCKS) and service personnel that respond before HOURS pass. Seriously, we asked for a towel and a roll of T.P. Those things should of been here first, but we asked for them, and it took A WHILE.Seriously, how hard is it to have wifi that doesn't drop out every couple of minutes?tl;dr: good location, bad service

A comfortable room in the hotel perfectly situated for exploring the old market area and eateries, about 12 minutes walk from the cathedral and railway station. 24 hour reception desk with friendly staff. There is a restaurant and bar at the ground floor and outside.

The rooms were a bit small, but it was just me so it worked. The location is great for easy access to most things but they need better window insulation. It got very chilly in the room with manually operated furnaces. Also it sits above the bars so it was very loud until late at night.

Have eaten here a few times over recent years. Not stayed here at their hotel. The food options are varied and have always been well prepared and presented. They have a great selection of pizzas, themed as the twelve apostles. Plus many other dishes. They have spaces better suited to smaller more intimate groups and others for larger groups. Booking recommended, though we've always managed to get a table.

We stayed for only one night, so cannot really comment a lot but will share few observations. Great location, close to center. Good wifi. All necessary facilities present, like toiletries, towels, slippers, etc. …

Great location with most of the sights in Cologne within walking distance. Good service from the receptionists. Room could do a bit of cleaning and we always had problems with the keycards not working for some reason. A bit difficult also for buggies and luggages if you are coming in by car as there is no drop off right in front of the hotel and no parking as well.

The hotel is clean, warm and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I had read reviews before stating that rooms overlooking the market may be noisy - 100% correct. …

Perfect location for the Christmas markets. All within walking distance. Also not far from the train station. Our room over looked one of the Christmas markets, which was great. Room was clean and hotel staff were very friendly. Thank you for a great stay!

Let's be honest here. The service and facility is minimal and no air conditioning.However we got the rooms facing the courtyard and oh boy is it a beautiful scene, the windows are designed to open sideways with a small balcony and just standing there looking at the busy area is fantastic.If you get those rooms you'll fall in love with how cozy this hotel is. And it's smack down in the middle of it all. I loved it, breakfast is really good too and friendly staff

We stayed here for three nights with the purpose of visiting the Christmas Markets in Koln. The hotel is on the Heumarkt, which is where the famous Heinzels Wintermarchen is located. …
