Quiet but still fairly central neighborhood. Nice themed hotel, wether you like it may be a matter of taste though. Friendly staff, nice extras like the magazine reading in the rooms.Free minibar in the room, and the breakfast is really great - the location on the 8. floor with a spectacular view and excellent food (like the selection of teas you will not even get at much more expensive hotels, or organic jam/marmalade). Plan enough time for breakfast.I always stay here when in town and would come again.

Quirky and cool hotel. Rooms were small but nicely decorated and well-equipped. The hotel itself is in a good location, not far from the city centre. The hotel lobby has many novelties, including typewriters, ping pong and table football.

Amazing aesthetic however there is room for improvement functionally.First of all, I loved this theme and ‘vibe’ of this hotel. My wife and I are travelling through Europe and 25 hours in Köln formed a welcome surprise from the moment we walked in, as we were not aware of the space vibe when we booked.The theme is brilliantly brought to life with significant money spent on making sure it’s not ‘tacky’ or ‘childish’. Being a bit of a sci fi nerd, I was in heaven, and my wife also enjoyed the unique vibe.There is room for improvement with the rooms however. It was extremely hot in Köln when we stayed, and while the air conditioning did the job - it was unable to cool the room down to the usual low temperature that many travellers enjoy when away from home. The curtain also didn’t close fully, letting in a fair bit of light during the night.However the complimentary items in the mini bar more than make up for this - the Monkey Bar is also a must see when staying.All in all, I would highly suggest for a couple of night stay if you are visiting the area.

Lovely rooms with all the amenities required. They’re spacious with a fun and quirky interior.The only downside that I will have to note is the lack of lighting. It gets so dark in the evening, and there isn’t enough light to see anything, which is the reason for my 4 star rather than a 5 star.

Spent over a month here for the Euros and this was the best hotel we stayed in by a mile. Quite quirky but everything was perfect. Rooms are amazing - really comfortable - great views from the bar and breakfast was superb. It is also in a good location. Highly recommended

The hotel is located in the former headquarters of the Gerling Insurance company. The building itself is one of the most distinctive and original architectural achievements of the postwar period, and was not without controversy when it was built. Now, the whole area is being renovated using the same architectural style.It was a pleasure to stay in such a piece of history...turning an uncompromising cultural treasure into a hotel was not without challenges. The hallways are all curved, and no right angles anywhere, the rooms were quirky but effectively outfitted and the desk staff were all friendly and helpful.

Unique hotel in the city center.Everywhere you look, you see another cool detail. Very young and enthousiaster front office team.This is something else then just your normal hotel stay.Sauna on the 7th floor is really nice too. A little bit on the smaller side, but well maintained and clean. There’s 1 big sauna, 2 showers and a relax area + water and fruits available for the guests. You can get a free ‘sauna bag’ with slippers and a rope at the reception. Really enjoyed it 💫

We stayed at our son’s recommendation (he’d stayed there last year). The front desk staff was very accommodating, the room comfy and the location great. You’re in easy walking distance to the cathedral and train station, there are also some great cafes and beer halls just steps away (you really want to sample the Kolsch at the Paffgen brewery (their calves liver and mashed potatoes were to die for). Something worth noting is that you can open the windows wide enough to get fresh air. If we’re ever in Koln again I know where we’ll be staying
