This is an exceptional hotel! It is perfectly located next to the train station. The staff goes over the top to make sure everything is perfect. We had room service in the middle of the night and they brought it right up quickly. The food was amazing and I wish we had more time! My mother-in-law even left a couple things behind when we left and they were able to locate it and ship it to us in a day or two. 5 star hotel for sure!
GermanyGreat location Free upgrade excellent service from the reception to the bellboy everything was amazing
GermanySuch a wonderful and gorgeous hotel. So convenient near the shopping district and the Christmas market!
ChinaAn ancient hotel built in 1863, with perfect location towards Cologne Cathedral, and 5 mins from the shopping district. Latterly 5 star hotel with its facilities and more, the Staff were amazing as i enjoyed my stay as i usualy love to try different hotels, and i recommend you to have same experiance.
United Arab EmiratesThe location of this hotel is excellent. 2 mins walk to the main railway station and close to the Cathedral and the Christmas Markets. Very comfortable room.
United KingdomEVERYTHING! Staff was super friendly, especially Ruth! We travelled with our 8 month old and they put a crib, rubber ducky, baby towel, and baby wash in the room for him! The jet tub was great! The bed was comfy and the pillows were okay BUT room service will bring an extra pillow for you! Parking was decent. We parked in a parkinf Garage about...10min walk from the hotel and it cost 20€ per night. The hotel is literally across the street from the X-mas market! There were about 6 markets to visit! Along with the Cathedral and Info center! We will definitely stay again!!!
GermanyBrilliant location. Lovely old world charm. Staff very helpful
AustraliaEverything, almost! It was quiet in the hallways, the beds were comfortable and the pillows. They even ask you what type of pillow you want in a questionnaire. The bathroom is what I was most impressed about including the extra items of shampoo and conditioners they give you. The place was very clean and very comfortable. We felt like we were really enjoying a luxury hotel. It was our first time. Their key to open the rooms are a little tricky. It took quite a few try’s to get it to open. (Which is why I said we liked almost everything) we’d definitely recommend it and would stay here again!
United States of AmericaComfortable bed and the most amazing shower. Free mini bar was a nice touch!
United States of AmericaWe organized a special stay for our parents their anniversary and they went above and beyond in service and attention. Even a last minute request from my parents was met with the utmost friendliness. Mieke, one of the managers even suggested for us to leave a special note from the family in the room, so we had gifts ready in the room for them. Our parents were very extremely pleased over all.
