Nice hotel and decent price. Room was simple and plain but good condition and clean. Stayed in worse (claimed) 4* in Germany. Didn't realise you had to hang a thing on door so room wasnt cleaned daily. No biggie but not mentioned when checking in. No fridge or mini bar. Booked 4 nights but managed a late flight after the third night so said to the receptionist i was checking out early. Mass confusion as he tried to find how to do this in his book without success.. he then told me "I'm not sure you can". Given i had paid the 4 nights and wasnt expecting a refund i laughed and said "i dont think you can stop me!" He then said he was new and only "been here year.." I bid him farewell and left.. 😂

The most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed. I'm not sure how they landed on a 4* rating, but I'd put this hotel at hostel level. The website photos catfished me into booking this dire accommodation. The lights in the room won't go out unless the key card is taken out of the slot, but then my phone won't charge...! When I called reception he answered my call with "yeah?". Vile, tired, horrible hotel. Avoid!

Convenient if characterless hotel

Handy for Cologne HBF, clean and efficient. Mostly a conference hotel, so no charm, but comfortable and does everything you need it to. A self-service breakfast was included and had plenty of options.
