We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The walk to the Cologne Cathedral was very short and safe. The location is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. The only negative comment I would make is that the room was not air-conditioned, but the staff provided a portable air conditioner and a fan which made the room comfortable at night. I would recommend staying here.

Convenient Stay

I stayed for a week as a solo traveler for business, the hotel is very close to the station. I think it might be just bit priced. Breakfast was so so, did not have much veg food apart from Salads etc. Though as per instructions I used to hang my towel so that it dows not go to wash, they would still take it, so not environmentally Friendly. Ok for a short stay

Zentral und komfortabel

Das Hotel bietet für seinen Preis einen guten Aufenthalt. Die Betten sind bequem und die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet. Leider war jedoch der Kühlschrank innen dreckig und auch die Lüfter im Bad waren dreckig. Die Parkplatzsituation ist super und man hat sogar eine eigene abschliessbare Garage direkt vor dem Hotel. Der Hauptbahnhof ist gut zu Fuss erreichbar und man ist innerhalb von 10 Minuten Fussweg am Kölner Dom. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr zuvorkommend.

Das Hotel ist günstig gelegen am HBF, damit einher geht der Lärm und der Schmutz der Umgebung. Ich hatte Glück und ein Zimmer nach hinten - also weniger Geräuschkulisse. Das Hotel ist alt, individuell, und verhältnismäßig gut in Schuss gehalten. Das Personal ist auch: individuell und irgendwie nett. Mir hat es dort gefallen. Kleines Zimmer, noch kleineres Bad, alles sauber.
