Stayed here over New Year. The hotel is towards the edge of Cologne, very close to the chocolate museum, but walkable into the centre. Thought we had booked breakfast, but obviously hadn't; was given the option to purchase but at 25euros pp we decided against it! They do have a self service area with snacks and drinks which is convenient (although we used the garage shop next door instead as cheaper). The room was as expected with a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The bed was very comfy and the curtains kept the light out well. We were checking out on NY Day and so check out was delayed until 1pm which was a nice touch.
