Strange experience here. When I arrived, with a reservation, to the hotel (about 10pm or a little earlier) it was completely shut with no one there. I tried knocking on the doors but no answer, no answer from the phone number on the hotel website, no answer from the phone number seen from the exterior of the building either. I asked in the shop opposite and they had another number for the hotel and called them and helped me enter the hotel using a code left for me. The hotel had emailed me to tell me the reception would not be staffed and to enter the code but I hadn't received this email, which was sent only 1 or 2 hours before. The room quality was actually quite good for the price but never saw a staff member at the hotel, not even the next morning. The hotel cited the national train strikes which were ongoing at the time as a reason for the lack of staff.

The reception service was great.You have to park your car at the garage, but ypu get 3 euro voucher from hotel..The rooms were ok. Fridge is too loud, had hard time sleeping between that and a paper thin walls / doors.. you could hear every step and every word from people outside your door. Very old/renovated hotel.No shower gel in the shower. But they do have bar soap.Blanket on the bed needs to be washed.... some hair on it was stuck and made it unpleasant. As well as some black hair from other people on shower towels... gross.Balcony was super small, but manageable to sit outside. The environment was rather quiet, so that was pleasant. However, I would not recommend to stay there unless all hotels in cologne are booked out.I'd refer Hyatt instead.

The staff is fantastic and very helpful! I arrived early and I was tired and the woman in the reception with a very beautiful smile did the check in for me and let me go into my room. The location is good because is just 13 minutes walking from the Central Station and all the museums and principal attractions are around. The breakfast was good and varied. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Just spent 3 nights here - the hotel was very reasonably priced for a family of 4. The location is very good, a 10 min walk to the Cathedral. Very close to bars and restaurants for the evening.|The breakfast was very good and varied.  …

Hotel Cara Vita in Cologne pretent to be a 3 star hotel. But it does not deserve 3 stars. Although the price was like a 3 star hotel. The room is very small and very poor furnished. …

Cozy and friendly hotel in the center and good price. Don't expect a fancy luxurious place but to spend your nights, have a decent bath and accessible to anywhere in the city, this hotel delivers. The only problem is the WiFi which is not working properly from time to time. However, the staff is super friendly too help out.

Centrally located. Nothing elegant or sophisticated but rooms are of good size, clean and renovated furniture. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast is more than adequate, fresh with the tipica German food you would expect. Wifi works very well. The only negative point, there is no elevator.

The hotel is within a walking distance from the central station and the Cathedral. The building doesn´t have a lift, which may be a problem depending on the size of your luggage. My room was simple, of a reasonable size. The breakfast could be better.
