The bare essentials

We were staying near friends in the same compound so it was very convenient. Everything is automated and quite self-explanatory. We had a corner room so had cross ventilation, other wise there was no air conditioning. The hotel is sustainable therefore no amenities of any kind are offered but there is a kiosk on the small street outside

Easy and seamless check in. Quiet neighborhood not too far from shopping and restaurants. Kiosk in hotel offering cold drinks which was very convenient. Rooftop terraces and an indoor lounge area which were great for unwinding or drinking a beer at the end of the day. Laundry and shared kitchen were very nice and a life lifesaver for longer term travel. The room was clean and made for a great stop for a few days, safe, secure, and a good location a little out from the city center.

A day in Köln

I requested a king size bed but instead I got two twin size bed next to each other. It just makes for uncomfortable sleep. Shower floated due to clog on the drainage tube. I had to remove it myself in order to get showered. With all of that being said, the apt is nice & modern.

Meh

Lovely idea for a place. No way to interact with someone for issues. Such as no idea where thermostat for temp control is- if it exists… unable to sleep because of heat wave and no discernible process of ameliorating the situation. Safe was locked and not able to use. Scanning documents took excessive amount of time and many attempts to get it to work properly. Bed is two twin beds pushed together. Staying with a partner - mind the gap. Windows facing sunrise - beautiful and excruciating with no way to adjust temperature. If you enjoy waking up at 5 am then you’ll Love it.

Horrible signage! Couldn’t find the hotel entrance. Electronic sign-up experience- keypad screen was total junk and wouldn’t register keystrokes, add to that no translation for foreigners, and no one around to assist. Incredibly frustrating and annoying. However, once checked in to the room it’s excellent. Checking in was a total pain, but in the end the place is great.
