Single Night

I stayed for a night and everything was as it should be.I really liked that it was in a neighborhood, outside the hectic center. I arrived early and they were very accommodating. The single room was also a nice size for European standards.The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. Its about a 20-30 minute walk to the hbf and transport is nearby.

Only reason it didn’t receive a 5* review was because the bed was very uncomfortable and instead of one double sheet they gave us two singles which was very annoying.

Hopper St Josef

The hotel was a great location away from the main city centre with good travel connections. There is an abundance of good eating places in the evening as the hotel had no restaurant for evening meals. The staff were always helpful as my knowledge of the German language was limited. Good local shops in the area as well. Only criticism was the curtain in the room did not fully close properly so did not block out the morning sunlight!

Incredibly modern, tucked inside historic building

We booked this hotel as a quick overnight stop en route from the Netherlands to Vienna, looking for just a simple place to crash for the night. What we found instead was a super modern hotel room, really well laid out, with huge operable windows overlooking a secluded courtyard in this former convent house. The "fitness center" is really just an elliptical machine and one other multi-purpose resistance machine, and the sauna looked like it had never been used. Neat library, nice bar, and a super short walk west to a shopping district with bakeries, restaurants, and coffee shops. Parking isn't available at the hotel, but we were able to park in an underground garage due east for €21.

Great place to stay in the Südstadt

Nicely designed hotel. Lots of little steps and stairs as it is a historic building. Clean, modern feel of the room as if in contrast to the historic substance. Small hotel with a small number of staff, so do not expect exceptional service. Staff could be a bit warmer/friendlier but was fine. Probably the best Hotel in the area - the only one that is in the middle of the Südstadt neighborhood. I was there for a private solo trip and found it a fitting choice.

Cologne business trip during heat wave

My rating might have been higher, however the heat in the room (it was 36C outside and 28C) inside left me leaving the porch door open, but the noise from the adjacent kindergarten is making one crazy in the early morning.
