The best hotel in this location. I was concerned at first with the reviews but this hotel is very nice. The rooms are pretty big and have the best beds. The toilet and bathroom were also larger than average and the location is near almost everything. The place is family owned which makes me even more confident to say that this place has 5 STARS. The restaurant next door is also worth a stop.

It’s very unfortunate, that this hotel turned out to be not so good. The location is awesome but the hotel is not. When we arrived the hotel was locked up and no one was around. …

This is a simple and friendly hotel which is just want we wanted for a weekend's visit to Cologne. We had a family room on the 4th Floor which was excellent and clean. The beds were comfortable. …

The best thing is its location close to the station and Dom cathedral. It has a small entry, and easy to miss. It's typical of smaller German hotels, with lomited space.  …

This is better described as a cafe that has rooms to rent above it as once the cafe shuts at 6pm, you won't see or hear anything from the staff (nor can you use the cafe space as an area to relax in as you would a hotel).  …

I think this hotel rocked! Perfect, I mean perfect location. A short walk from the train station. The Cathedral was a stones throw away. I could see it from my window. …

Excellent location, lovely staff who had many suggestions on what to do in the city and made great scrambled eggs for breakfast. Only downside to the location is being right next to a few busy bars so it can be noisy at night - luckily the windows block out most of the noise and earplugs do the rest!

Really nice hotel, the host was excellent. Really friendly and very informative of the area. Breakfast was brilliant. The only negative is that there is a lot of noise from the neighbouring bars, but the windows are very good and drown out most of the noise.
