I love staying at this location! The staff was fantastic and the breakfasts were wonderful! The room was cosine clean and the bathroom was great although I wish the showerhead was a little higher quality. Overall, I thought it was a great experience and I would stay here again.

Location is excellent. Within a very short walk to the station and all the sights. Spacious room with private bathroom and kitchenette. Downside is there is no lift in the building. We would however stay there again.

Great service and breakfast
Fantastic service and kind staff!
Good and varied breakfast.
Central location by the main station, but a bit dodgy area at night.
Funky coloured room - mine was all red and black - which was not my taste.

I would recommend this hotel.
The room was spotless and extremely comfortable.
It was decorated beautifully with floral wallpaper, and soft furnishings to match.

The hotel is in a great location, block and a half from the central train station (Hauptbonhof), and the Cathedral. We had a studio apartment. The staff was incredible. The breakfast was fantastic, with outstanding and I mean outstanding, service. The desk staff were very helpful in giving directions and printing tickets to events that we purchased online. We would stay there again without question.

Good option in a perfect location
The hotel was in a perfect location, just a few minute walk from the Dom. Simple, but very clean with good beds.
Staff should be specially mentioned (reception, breakfast room) as it was superb, very helpful and delivered the best service ever!
Very good breakfast: layout, choice, very good coffee. Can not fault it in any way.
To be mentioned, that the reception and the breakfast room is in a sister hotel on the same road (1min walk). The check-in late at night can be that bit trickier (reception closed) and you will need to walk down the road for the breakfast.

Staff friendly and professional. Great breakfasts. Location good for centre of Cologne (although walking through train station at night not particularly pleasant). Annex room dark, tv not working properly (stuck on one channel), toilet continued to flush all night. We asked ot be moved to main part of hotel which was much nicer.

Liebevoll eingerichtet mit freundlichen Personal
Das Hotel hat eine gute Lage. Innenstadt/Altstadt, LANXESS-Arena uvm sind fussläufig zu erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer so wie das ganze Hotel sind super schön und sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Die Badezimmer könnten evtl modernisiert werden. Sie waren aber zweckmäßig und vor allem sauber. Das Frühstück ist eine 10/10.
es empfiehlt sich auf jeden Fall einen Parkplatz zu buchen, wenn man mit PKW anreist.

Das Zimmer war sehr klein, aber sauber. Mit sehr kleinem Fernseher und kleinem Bad. Aber insgesamt ok, da dies vorher bekannt war.
Das Frühstück gab es ca. 100m weiter. Vielfältig und gut.
Die Lage, trotz der Nähe zum HBF, nicht unsauber oder unsicher.
Für eine recht günstige und zentrumsnahe Übernachtung empfehlenswert.

Kiva pieni hotelli kävelymatkan päässä tärkeimmistä nähtävyyksistä. Hyvät kulkuyhteydet lähellä. Aamupala todella hyvä, sopivasti eri vaihtoehtoja. Huone oli pieni, mutta siisti. Joitain pieniä asioita oli vähän rempallaan (pistorasia irti seinästä, vessan lavuaari veti huonosti) mutta ei haitannut olemista.
