Nice hotel, clean and staff friendly. Breakfast good, room well serviced, Quiet location, about 20mins walk from the rail station or 5mins from the s bahn.A Good choice for business travellers. Good choice of restaurants or fast food in the area. I would recommend this hotel.

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.

It was only a few minutes walk from the cathedral, squares and river. The breakfast offered lots of choice. and all the staff we encountered spoke English fluently.

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.

Köln ist kein billiges Hotel-Pflaster, daher war das Hotel preislich mehr als in Ordnung. Die Lage ist grundsätzlich gut - sprich 10 Minuten Fussdistanz von den Hauptattraktionen Kölns. Das Frühstück hat gepasst: schönes, grosses Buffet - jedoch ohne wirkliche überraschung. Frühstücksraum angenehm - jedoch ohne "Kaffee-Bedienung": Kaffee muss man sich selber rauslassen gehen. Das Einzelzimmer ist zwar nicht sehr gross, aber immerhin keine Zwergenkammer - wie man sie als Einzelreisender auch hie und da vorfindet. Das Zimmer ist zwar zweckmässig und preiswert, nur spiegelt sich dies auch da und dort im Interieur. Ich weiss echt nicht, wann ich in einem Hotel zuletzt einen uralt Mini-Röhrenbild-TV gesehen habe. Auch das Bad hätte gerne mal ein Lift-Up: Altmodische Hahnendusche (Modell 60-Jahre) und die Ventilationsabdeckung hält scheinbar nur noch dank Malerabdeckband (!). Und nun noch was zur Lage: Was gewisse Personen (evtl. Mit Kindern) abschrecken kann, ist, dass das Hotel zwischen (!) zwei Gay-Sex-Shops liegt. Man kann zwar mit einem Schmunzeln daran vorbeigehen, aber es gibt sicherlich Gäste, die sich daran stören.

Ein charmantes altes Gebäude mit stilvoller Einrichtung. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber super sauber und mit bequemen Betten. Das Personal war rund um die Uhr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und das Frühstück war reichlich und frisch, auch um 10.30 Uhr, obwohl man uns sagte, dass es Frühstück nur bis um 10 gibt. Dazu noch die tolle Lage, ruhig in einer Einbahnstr. und in 1 min. zu Fuß am Heumarkt. Alles in allem ist das Hotel sehr zu empfehlen für einen schönen günstigen Köln-Trip!

Чистенько, стилизовано под средневековый замок. Недорого. Расположен недалеко от центра города, удачно для старта прогулки. 1. Отель расположен между старейшим в Германии гей-центром и обычным гей-секс-шопом. Было не очень уютно. 2. Парковка - есть, но это четыре крохотных гаражика (для машинок типа Фольксваген Поло) в соседнем очень узеньком дворике. Покарябал бампер пока запарковался. 3. Лифт есть, но только до третьего этажа. Мы жили на четвертом :(

Zimmer war in Ordnung, es war freundlich eingerichtet und sauber. Frühstück war gut, es gab eine schöne Auswahl an Wurst und Käse, gekochte Eier, Rühreier, verschiedene Müslisorten, Honig, Marmelade, leckeren Kaffee. Lage Ideal zum Shoppen bzw. Sightseeing. . Um in die Garage zu kommen, die ein paar Häuser weiter, auf der anderen Straßenseite war, musste man immer erst zur Rezeption gehen und sich das Tor öffnen lassen. Das Auto sollte auch nicht zu groß sein, sonst hat man Probleme mit dem ein- und ausparken. Beim Frühstück hätte ich mir gewünscht, ein deftiges Brot oder Vollkornbrötchen vorzufinden. Es gab reichlich Auswahl, aber nur Weissmehlprodukte. Das Bad könnte eine Generalüberholung gebrauchen, war aber sauber. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich, aber sehr kühl. Es wurde kein Wort zu viel gesprochen.

Ik had een parkeerplaats gereserveerd,bij aankomst bleek dat er alleen een kleine auto in paste en werden we doorverwezen naar een parkeergarage. Ik had juist een hotel uitgezocht met parkeerplaats om niet in een onbekende stad meer dan nodig te hoeven rondrijden.We hebben meer dan een 45 minuten rondgereden voor we de garage hadden gevonden,slechte zaak.

Die gute Lage zur Innenstadt. Reservierte Garagenplätze gegen Gebühr. Saubere Zimmer. Für Kurzübernachtung gut geeignet. So gut wie keine Lärmbelästigung. Kein Föhn im Nassbereich. Durchschnittliches Frühstück. (Ist Geschmacksache) Teilweise beengte Zimmer.

Хороший честный завтрак Очень узкое парковочное место во дворе рядм с отелем, где могут парковаться гости. В один день двое наших (русских), не знаю с кем согласлвав, поставили свои БМВ перед дверьми гаражей, заблокировав выезд всех, кто стоял с гараже. Я не смог воспользоваться арендованной машиной утром этого дня. Правда, отель возместил мне затраты на такси из-за этого происшествия.

Das Hotel liegt wirklich sehr zentral und ruhig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Leider hatten wir ein sehr kleines Zimmer, dass dem Preis nicht entsprach. Als Einzelzimmer wäre es okay, aber als Doppelzimmer leider nicht. Wir haben uns aber trotzdem wohlgefühlt.
