I was there on the weekend from June 7th to June 9th. 24 there and I'm really excited. Price/performance was really great. Very very friendly customer oriented staff. Keep it up, I'd love to come back

5/5
Friendliness and cleanliness are positive. That's the most important thing for me too.As expected, the equipment is kept simple. What's nice is that the room is relatively large, although not huge, but big enough to be able to move around and spread out very freely. I mention this because in other hotels, even in higher price classes, the room was almost full after I put down my suitcase.WiFi worked perfectly for me, but the router wasn't far from my room.Breakfast was simple, but there was everything you needed. Cheese/sausage/cream cheese with baked warm rolls. Selection of different yoghurts in cups, muesli, eggs, toast. For drinking coffee, orange juice, milk and tea.Theoretically you could give deductions for a few little things. But since it is a budget hotel, that would be too much of a pedantry. So I only mention it for context. Price/performance are definitely very fair.About the banalities:The curb for the driveway to the parking lot is not lowered and is quite high. The parking spaces are also right at the entrance.The hallway is a bit noisy and you can hear when someone goes to their room, but overall it was never loud.The eggs for breakfast didn't suit my taste. But I like them hard boiled - everyone sees it differently.The silicone joint in the sink could be replaced. But it just looks worn, not unhygienic and the rest are quite freshly made.Even if there is still potential for optimization, the basis is rock solid. The hosts are clearly making an effort.Overall I felt comfortable and would stay here again.

Older rooms, not a great atmosphere, but relatively inexpensive these days at 65 euros a night. Nevertheless, I have had nicer rooms in this price range. The hotel is located in an industrial area near Pulheim, I think it belongs to Brauweiler. There is a large gas station and a McDonald's nearby. Yep, that was it. The Asian man at the reception was nice. All in all 3 out of 5 stars.

The rooms are ok so far but below standard. The WiFi is very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all. Take-away coffee was prohibited at breakfast. (Something like that is a no go).

I had to throw up when I entered the bathroom because I was so disgusted... I've never had that before in any accommodation.Unbearably hot in the attic, but that was due to the weather...For breakfast around 7:30 a.m. I woke up the boss who was standing in front of me in his underwear and then politely declined to wait until everything was ready...Paid and goodbye!Report me again because I'm being accused of a fake, bots comment or some other thing!!! Bottom drawer!!I wish you all the best for your accommodation, just without me and my friends.

A small, friendly hotel a few minutes' drive from Cologne. The rooms are simple but very clean and well maintained. WiFi is free and works well. Check-in can only be done from 3 to 8 p.m., which is still quite limited, but the owner is very welcoming. I will return there with pleasure.

The price-performance ratio was quite ok. The rooms were clean, the bathroom too. The only thing that could be criticized was the distance from Cologne city center.

Comparing hotels is always difficult. This hotel is not for very demanding guests who want to go on vacation and have high expectations. It's perfect for someone just passing through. The room was clean, the gentleman from the hotel was very friendly. Only the breakfast offering was a bit sparse, but still acceptable.I can tell whether I'm on vacation or working somewhere!

The standard of the house is rather in the lower segment. The beds were okay and the room overall was clean, although very worn out. The bathroom in particular urgently needs a modern renovation.The staff and operators were friendly and tried hard. However, they also seemed quite overwhelmed when it came to organizing breakfast. Almost half of the basics, including coffee and rolls, were constantly missing. That was a bit tiring...So you shouldn't expect a particularly chic or particularly nice environment here. Overall, unfortunately a bit dingy. But acceptable for a night in emergency.

Simple but neat room. Upon arrival it turned out that the slatted base was defective. Reported this to the manager. Within 5 minutes he was upstairs to change the slatted base. Friendly staff.

Bed smells funny, uncomfortable… back pain every morning. The television didn't work in all 3 rooms we rented and the carpet was extremely dirty. The house is very noisy. Unfortunately there was only a small selection at breakfast and the rolls were not fresh.
