There are very few room supplies. I consumed the water and coffee on day one but later it was never refilled. I was busy with my work so instead of complaining I just purchased the water.

    The location is great, 5 minutes walk from Cologne Central Station. It's a beautiful building with unique and stylish interior design. The reception staff was friendly and the check-in/out was easy and quick. The room was spacious and clean. There are Rituals products in the bathroom, which is a nice touch. Overall it was a great experience, thank you.

    The bar was so lovely! I was not expecting it and all the staff were really nice. The room and hotel were so well designed and decorated, it certainly felt more like a designer hotel rather than a 'motel'. Everything was really comfortable and I enjoyed my stay a lot.
