    The hotel was in a great location within in the city, but it was very hard to find. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The decor was very nice. The breakfast was very good.

    Small details, I don’t like a shower curtain, overall a small room layout but acceptable, mattress too soft

    Very central located in the heart of Cologne, walking distance to the Dom, in the basement is a Rewe (supermarket)

    The double room was too small. This room is for 1 person. The bed was quite hard and had a pillar that was quite in the way.

    I liked that it was close to everything in the city center. The location of the hotel itself. The rooms were clean, with enough towels, toiletries and a hairdryer.

    .

    The hotel is on the 6th floor above a multistorey car park so parking is easy, the hotel is near shops, its not far from Cologne catherdral. The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast is continental, the room was clean and the bed comfortable, there was a balcony with a small table and chairs.

    Good location, but a little expensive for the facilities offered.

    Perched on top of a car park with a 2m ish height limit, I was worried that I might graze my roof box when driving into the car park. If we’d needed to park elsewhere it would have been a long walk from a suitable car park to take luggage in, via a narrow alley, and the single three or four person lift to the top of the car park. We have a wheelchair user, so max three… There seem to be some permanent residents, and lots of young backpackers, who cannot have paid the amount we paid for our stay. Perhaps we booked late, and at the weekend, so the price may have been justified, on a supply and demand basis. Cologne is not a cheap place to stay, but our next hotel is a Novotel in our next stop which is less than half the price, and more comfortable, with a better breakfast. There was aircon, a hairdryer, and a clock radio, but no bedside lamps. Brits also like a kettle in the room, but the kitchen was not far away, with a shared fridge, hobs and microwave. Someone had cooked butter chicken just before we arrived, and the corridors were a reminder, for at least a couple of hours. Although the pictures show balconies, not all rooms have them, our family room didn’t, but trade off is we were off the main street, which is probably quieter (which is more important for us) Facilities listed in the description include toilet paper… really? This is supposed to be 3 star. The hostel is just beneath the surface.

    Rooms are a good size, and it is relatively quiet for a city centre “hotel”. Air conditioning is a bonus. Location is excellent, with a lot of attractions within 15-20 minutes walk. There is a handy supermarket on the ground floor. Breakfast is adequate, with “omelette” turning out to be scrambled eggs, with the other choice being boiled egg (yes, one) , which is served with cucumber, tomatoes and two small slices of salami and chicken, plus the usual cheese. A bread roll is also served. You can also have cereal, (longlife milk) OJ, and coffee. Same both days we stayed.

    The breakfast was limited, even for a 3 star hotel. Coffee, tea, juice and cereals were from a small buffet. Bread, egg and cheese was served on the table. E.g. no yoghurt available. Overall and value for money, it was expensive.

    We stayed in the hotel with our 2 kids, it was great that we could stay in a family room (double bed and a high sleeper for the kids). The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Perfect for a citytrip with kids. The hotel has a top spot located, almost in the city center (5min walk from the Dom and the Chocolate museum). The building in which the hotel is located is a bit quirky, the ground floor is a shop (REWE), the next 5 floors are a car park and the hotel is located on the top floor of the car park. So don't expect a balcony or big window with a great view.
