Not 4-star

Appreciated healthy options at breakfast buffet, cleanliness, quiet, good shower pressure, kettle & mini-frig. They advertise that they have air conditioning which was a reason I booked it. It's actually only in 3 rooms. My 1st room was extremely hot & the staff person told me it didn't have AC. So I was moved to a lower floor which he said would be cooler. It didn't have AC so I got very little sleep. The next morning they told me the 1st room actually had AC. So I packed up everything & moved back up there after I made sure the AC was working. The manager took no responsibility nor offered an apology for false advertising, the lost nite's sleep or having to change rooms again. The mattresses were beyond firm so very uncomfortable. The pillows were way too soft, like sleeping on a jacket. It's located well away from the historic center so not convenient. Only 1 out of 3 windows had a screen. One window was hanging off its hinge. They load the mini frig with products to sell which is a nuisance to have to move them to use the frig. You have to climb stairs & carry your own bags to the 2nd floor to get the lift. Their biggest issue is safety in the event of a fire because the keys & door locks are historic so do not work quickly or easily.

Nice old heritage building. Close to the river and a few minutes from the zoo and botanical garden. Just 20 minute walk to the city centre and cathedral. No bath tub in my room, room quite small but comfortable.

Sleep in the cellar

The room was below street level. The window overlooks the parking lot, you could hear the cars coming and going. Very small room.Vicino ai bagni comuni. Per andare in camera bisogna attraversare il ristorante

A total gem in historic old building in Cologne. Spotlessly clean, charming and helpful staff, fabulous breakfast buffet. Twenty-minute walk along the Rhine to the Cathedral. And we got lucky to have one of the limited parking spots! Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel, close to old town. However we needed to upgrade as our allocated room was too small to spend more that 1 night in.
