Not sure what all the negative reviews are about because we had a great experience. The room was updated, clean, and quiet. There was no carpet in our room, just clean hard floors. The included breakfast was great. We loved that it was waking distance from the train station, cathedral, and many other attractions. The only small negative was that the wifi sometimes didn’t reach our room but this wasn’t a big deal. I’d come here again.

We had thought this would be a great hotel in a good location. The area is very trashy and lots of beggars everywhere.The hotel was so small you could hardly walk around the corner. The place had bedbugs.They were misleading with parking saying that parking near by is 20 euros a night when it’s 30.The breakfast was way below average and the attendant wasn’t restocking items when they ran out.Th WiFi didn’t work at all even though we would connect to it. Tried to report it to the front desk to find a solution and he didn’t know what to do.This was apart of a 2 week trip through Germany and Amsterdam and this was by far the worst hotel we stayed in.

Hotel is a short walk (about 10 mins ) from the train station. Warm welcome at reception, have to pay a tourist tax on arrival, which for 3 nights was about 14 Euros. Room was small, but a very comfortable bed so slept very well. …

Perfect location in the centre of Koln, 10 minutes walk from train station.|Friendly reception staff and a charming gentleman that cleans the rooms,|Breakfast basic and disappointing, slow to replenish |TV all in German ( understandable) but no subtitles available which was frustrating

If the hotel is something for you depends on the deal, room, and service personnel you got. We cannot recommend Yggotel Pirol. …

This centrally located hotel room is really good value. We had a room that backed onto the back quiet space, which was perfect in a busy area. Bells in the morning from various churches was magical!||||That said, no air conditioning. …

Warning: Do not stay at this hotel. Worst experience ever! And don't get me started on their customer service. Trust me. I will also say that their lack of compassion when dealing with customer concerns and issues is beyong lacking. If you want to enjoy your holiday I would strongly suggest you find somewhere else to stay.

Comfortable beds and very nice view from the 4th floor, the breakfast room is also very pretty and well arranged. Shower clogged a lot, though.The staff was very friendly and helpful, except for the man who served in the breakfast room. He would always look extremely angry and shout things, when collecting the dishes he would throw them in the basket like they personally offended him, made a lot of noise, as a child from a very strict family I didn't appreciate this at all. Eating in his presence felt very bad.
