Friendly stuff, clean room, and the breakfast is very health, many vegan options. Room is reasonably quiet for how downtown the hotel is located. I do feel that the heat is turned a little bit too high in the room at night for my liking.

Rooms were a great size and spotlessly clean. Marshall amps in each room were very tempting but I never heard anyone fully rocking out with a it of the guitars available so either every guest was very respectful or the noise proofing very good. The eco friendly approach to linens was novel, finally a hotel that rewards you for being environmentally conscious!

Okay for a short trip

25 walk from the Dom. hotel was a bit too automated for our liking, although the staff were excellent. Tea and coffee only available is a booth on each floor, with a precarious hot water dispenser, I burned my finger. Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and plenty of them. Could do with comfier chairs in the bar/restaurant. Nice selection at breakfast.

Very cute hotel with a ton of character and charm. Extremely friendly staff al hours of the day/night. Bar in lobby is nice as well and lively. Never having been to cologne before, the location was perfect and allowed me to see everything I wanted in a short stay. Many many good restaurants in a short walking distance. Area was lively at night, and hotel felt safe. Only thing was the room had a semi private bathroom, due to design, but we figured it out and enjoyed thoroughly. I’m aware this is American of me to say that, but I believe it can be helpful to some. Great hotel, food, drinks, area. Would definitely stay again at Ruby Ella
