Nicely located, close to restaurants and bridge to other side of river.
Great location with a great price. Extremely close to the train station, cathedral, the river, museums and restaurants. Very friendly and accommodating.
When we arrived the staff were so helpful, our room was ready early so we got to check in. The rooms were absolutely spotless and modern, the room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. The hotel is in a prime location, right near the cathedral and bars. We never had to use a taxi besides to and from the airport. Could not fault this hotel in the slightest. Highly recommend.
Lovely clean hotel, lovely staff very welcoming and nothing was any bother to them, I would definitely stay here again if I was to come back to Cologne, the breakfast was ok nothing special but there was plenty to eat.
Great location in the heart of Cologne, two minutes from the riverside and Cathedral. The hotel staff are friendly and the rooms are comfortable, if a little dated. It was a brief stay but an enjoyable one. Would be happy to use again.
Room and facilities excellent but TV had no signal (Not needed,so did not report. Friday and Saturday night, noise from disco next door until 1.00 am. Despite good soundproofing from street noise, drumbeats intruded.
Staff sympathetic and helped in every other possible way with my requests. Nothing was too much trouble and electric kettle provided on request for hot drinks in my room.
I loved everything about this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the location as well. It was close to the cathedral and Christmas markets. The room was nice as well. Overall I would stay here again next time.
Room was lovely, as were the staff. Close and walkable to main tourist attractions. Lots of Christmas Markets within walking distance, and also lots of restaurants withing walking distance
