Free breakfast which should come as standard in my opinion. Only Hotspot for internet in room which is a waste of money as not an international thing and once you subscibe, you can only use it in that country. Although you could still use the computer in lobby downstairs for free, its not quite the same as relaxing in your room.

It is easy to find from the motorway and well placed; a short walking distance from the river and the cathedral etc. Staff were all very pleasant and the breakfast was plentiful. The minbar contents were very reasonably priced!

Friendly staff, parking, good location on city map but neighborhood is dissapointing: sandwiched between two gay shops with explicit shop- windows demonstrating everything what they have on sale, neighboring streets and houses, let's say, aren't the most picturescue in Cologne. It is no-smoking-hotel, but it still smells very much from the past. Gloomy and uncomfortable inside, no proper lightening both in rooms and corridors, really outdated equipment and furniture, there was no renovation for not less than 30 years, no ventilation and ac in rooms. Extremly expensive wi-fi access - 15 eur per 24h. Doesn't meet modern hotel standards. I didn't expect that such a hotel could exist today. Much below my expectations even for a 3-star-hotel. Will never stay here again. Don't recommend to anybody to stay here even for a night.

It had secure parking, was open all night and it was clean and cheap. It didn't have a proper bar and it is flanked by two gay sex shops in a what appears to be the gay district of cologne and was quite a distance from the main centre of cologne. Most of the above may be ok for the majority of visitors, but it didn't suit our group

Hotel gave an overall impression on being unclean. Rooms very small and facilities non existant. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone else.los located between 2 sex shops and this could put other travellers off staying here.

Clean room, everything tidy. Hotel was generally in very good conition. Hotel is on the gay street of Koln, sandwiched between 2 sex stores which I wasn't expecting, Location is very difficult to drive to due to one-way streets in koln. Car parking is not good!

We are a family with 3 daughters (12-14yrs). Booked 2 rooms, double and triple. Rooms and beds clean and reasonably comfortable and the street was quiet. Hotel is in a street with a few gay sex shops, but it's quite quiet we were there in August and slept with the windows open. The breakfast selection was very good with cold meats, cheese, salad and a variety of breads and drinks. The reception staff were very helpful and spoke good english they have a few lock up garages directly opposite the hotel which cost 10 Eur we could check out of the hotel and lock our stuff away in the car while we went sightseeing for the day. Location is excellent a few minutes walk from the Dom and old town. The rooms were non smoking rooms, but they had a slight smell of previously having been smoked in. Not really bad though. If you are upset by gay sex shops look elsewhere, but the hotel itself is fine and good value for money

The location is really great, just some steps from the Rhine. Parking by the houses just under the nearby bridge possible for about 4 Euro a day if you don't mind to walk a bit. The room was small but really clean, the furniture and carpet quite new and well kept. The bathroom was comfortable and clean. The room didn't have any bad or strange smell as it sometimes happens. It was also quiet, with the window to the backyard. The breakfast was reeeeaaaalllyyyy great!! except you have to come early, because the other guest eat everything! The entrance and hall is a bit dark but at least the hotel has some style and it is not so anonymous as the other hotels usually are. The TV really small but I haven't come to Cologne to watch tv :-) There are 2 or 3 gay sexshops next to the hotel with very explicit shopwindows... I am a tollerant person, but it's not the best for visitors with children. Anyway it is not disturbing and the street is generally quiet and safe. The staff courteous but a bit cold, their communication was limited to the very necessary.

Saubere Zimmer Clean Room Der angepriesene Parkplatz ist auf Monate ausgebucht! Bei der Buchung kam keine entsprechende Mail mit der Mitteilung das es keine Parkplätze gibt. Lapidare Antwort des Mitarbeiter - man solle doch in Zukunft das Kleingedruckte lesen! Unmögliche Anfahrt ans Hotel durch Bauarbeiten in der Stadt! Keine Mail der Hotelführung um dieses einfacher zu gestalten! Alles in allem absolut schlechter Service !! The garage is not available and booked for month! If you book the room,there is no response that you can't park the car! Answer of the receptionist : read the small printing! To drive to the hotel, nearly impossible because of construction in the town, but no Mail from the hotel to make it easier (because they know it) !! So all in one - absolute no service !!

De locatie is centraal. De kamer was viezig en klein. Het begrip 'gastvrijheid' is dit hotel vreemd. Er was ons gezegd dat het ontbijt tot 11 uur zou zijn. Om 10.15 u beneden komend, is alles weg. Bleek dat sinds kort het tot 10 u was. Personeel weet dit blijkbaar niet. Met veel gezucht en gedoe wordt alsnog wat schamel ontbijt neergezet. Parkeerticket voor garage (500 m verderop) wordt niet juist gevalideerd, waardoor ik terug moet om het juiste tarief terug te krijgen. Geen excuses, alleen een snauw dat ze normaalgesproken geen geld teruggeven. Ga hier nooit heen! Je gooit je geld weg aan een hotel dat niet weet wat een hotel is.

отличное соотношение цена-качество. хорошие завтраки, убирали номер каждый день, полотенца использованные тоже меняли. есть гель для душа (оно же мыло и шампунь в одном). сделали чек-аут в два часа ночи без проблем, платили карточкой. в номере есть шкаф, холодильник с минибаром (минералка, соки, пиво) по очень нормальной цене, кровать, стул, стол, тумбочка, сейф. в нашем номере не было утюга и фена (номер 35), в 17 номере был фен. в целом отель понравился. 1 квартал до реки рейна и минут 10 бодрым шагом до кёльнского собора. на улице рядом есть магазины и кафе. старая сантехника и мебель. ну и еще такой минусик, на улице рядом с гостиницей, а вернее по обоим её сторонам гей-магазины :)

Ontbijt was redelijk, de rest was zeer slecht. Met brandtrap naar een kamertje dat stonk naar rook, omdat op de binnenplaats hieronder stevig werd gerookt, wat naar boven trok en de hele kamer stonk er na. Gordijnen sind de oorlog niet meer gewassen. Stopkontakt TV lag open, geen afdekplaat. Vieze deuren, zeer lang niet schoongemaakt. Verwarming maakte s'nachts zeer veel lawaai en ook het koelkastje op de kamer sprong om het half uur aan met veel geluid. Al met al niet meer dan catogerie ster 1. Midden in homobeurt en ik vind dat je dit ook moet vermelden in de omschrijving.
