Nice clean and comfortable hotel in the walkable Altstadt of Cologne. We were able to walk back from the Cathedral. Did not try the breakfast due to price and there are bakeries and cafes nearby for a quick morning meal that we ate in the nice outdoor space of the hotel. Room was deemed “small” by a colleague but was sufficient in my opinion. Small desk and large comfortable bed. Nice open shower. AC isn’t quite as cool as you might be used to in the US but was enough and great to have in a heatwave. On a loud and busy street but you wouldn’t know it from inside the hotel room, remarkable soundproofing! Would be happy to stay here again.

We had 3 rooms which were all very clean and adequate. Breakfast was plentiful and of high quality. Hotel is in a very good position, just off the very centre but walking distance to train station, cathedral and pedestrian area. We had booked interconnecting rooms but they were not available as we arrived late in the evening.

I stayed at this hotel in Cologne and overall had a very good experience. The room was relatively small, but it was clean and well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful with anything I needed, which made the stay much more comfortable. The only thing I would have preferred is a small fridge in the room, as it would have been really convenient.

Great hotel but a bit outside the main city center

Really nice hotel, modern and in a quiet part of the city. It’s a bit of a walk from the train station especially with luggage but doable. My room was clean and spacious and included a desk. I would book again.
