It's more than enough if you just need a room to sleep. TV was smaller than my tablet at home. Unfortunately, check-in is only possible from 3:00 p.m. It can be quite noisy at night as there are tracks nearby. A positive thing to mention is that there is a Rewe about 5 minutes walk away which is open until midnight.

The cheapest hotel in Cologne and absolutely perfect for it. Unfortunately, we only found out on the day of departure that there was breakfast. Maybe we would have used that xD But for €40 per person per night you can't complain. Very dear receptionists.

Stay next to the entrance but never see receptionist. Very hard to get customers service in person.Located side of main street, thus too many car, noisy and hard to sleep. People stand outside of the room to smoke, the smoke somehow go inside the room event the windows are shut.Decent room, big, very basic, 60% clean, have 1 mini fridge and 1 tv, 1 lamp, 1 small table with uncomfortable chair.Toilet simple. Very small mirror in the toilet , and it placed too high. 2 bath towels , 1 hand towel, standing shower, 1 broken hairdryer.Big bed, making noise when sleeping in. Thin layer of blanket, 1 giant pillow (which I feel comfy). No heating, freezing at night. bedbugs.No safety, room open with keys. You have to clock the building door by yourself too.Nowhere to find the breakfast room even there signs.Wifi is very unstable, not working the most of time.Cost too much for what I get. DisappointedDo not recommend

We had different opinions. I found it sufficient for a city sightseeing weekend, but my partner wouldn't book it again. Room was large with kitchenette and refrigerator. Our wish for a room facing the courtyard would be fulfilled. Connection to the city is great. The shower wasn't that good...high entry, mold on the shower door. When you sit down in bed you hit the bed frame because you sink in. It was just simple. Cleaning only after 3 days. The possibility of at least emptying the trash would be appropriate. We didn't think the price-performance ratio was that good.

No Reception except 3pm to 7pm. No services - isolated location. Hot water failed during stay. No coffee, tea or other condiments. Large rooms - clean. Shops about 800m away. Good Uber services - E15 to city centre.

The rooms were dirty and I don't even want to start with the toilet. We sat in the room for about 5 minutes to book another hotel and left immediately. Please don't try to sleep here if you have any self-esteem. Accommodation in no way as presented in photos.

The room door was broken and didn't close properly (it looked like it had been forced open). We asked the receptionist if it was possible to change rooms and when we consulted with the manager she told us that if we didn't like the hotel we would get our money back and we could look for another place, which we thought was very rude......They ended up sending someone to temporarily repair the door. The receptionist was very friendly and understanding, but I found the manager's attitude very bad.We also found it strange that there were signs all over the hotel with arrows advertising a place to have breakfast, but if you follow the arrows they don't lead you anywhere... maybe it was possible to have breakfast there, but that was 4 years ago...according to Google reviews.The rooms are a bit noisy, you can hear what your neighbor is doing at any time.One good thing is that the facilities are clean.Finally I can say that I would not choose this hotel again.

Booked months ahead but when an emergency happened and needed to cancel reservation, and its still months ahead of time to check-in, so there will be no issue on this situation, wants to only refund 4% of the total payment made. Mind you this hotel will ask for money upfront. Stay away from this establishment.schlechter Kundenservice

Room totally dirty, no hot water for showering in the morning, mold everywhere in the bathroom, not even someone from the street would want to sleep, sory.Because of the European Championship, where I didn't want to go yet, the prices were totally exorbitant. An absolute mess. There are signs everywhere for the breakfast room, which doesn't exist in any way. Just a dirty hole.Everyone who writes here, clean room, etc. is lying.Please 🙏 never book a room there. It's absolutely a waste of money.This "hotel" dump should be taken off the market.They should be ashamed of themselves who offer something like that

The sort of establishment that immigrants would refuse to inhabit.There was no hot water in the morning. There are signs all over, to a breakfast room which doesn't exist.The shower controls were a hive of mold. The mattress was ripped. The pillow was uncomfortable.I have experienced better accommodations in a slit trench when playing soldiers!Not recommended.On a positive note, there's off-road parking at the back. A Lidl across the street and a 7 minute walk to the S-bahn.

Cannot recommend!Booked two nights and pre-paid the room. Due to a heavy thunderstorm over germany we arrived 27 (!) minutes later than the opening hours.Unfortunately nobody was there at the property (doesn’t look quite inviting by the way).Had to stay in a hotel nearby. Wanted to check in for the second night, which got declined by the property, as they had cancelled the whole booking. Which was fully paid.No refund, no room but full costs. Major rip-off.To demand a late check-in two days in advance is pretty far away from reality, as delays in traffic, flights and trains are common.

I have often stayed at the Hôtel Westend and am very satisfied. Quiet, clean room, a kitchen with a fridge, TV, WiFi, everything I need. Parking lot in front of the door, everything was great compared to Lidl.
