    There was a cooler in the room, but it was insufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature, making the room warm at night.

    Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay with great service.

    Pillows were a bit too soft. The same hotel also has a pub/restaurant at night, so the corridor can be a bit noisy, especially over the weekend.

    Nice hotel, very close to the cathedral and the city centre. The area has a lot of facilities as restaurants, bars and shops. For people who do not have breakfast included, there is a Starbucks 5 minutes away from the hotel and a nice Thai restaurant just crossing the street in front of the hotel entrance. The room was very clean with a big glass shower box and a comfortable bed. The pillows were a bit too soft, but overall stay has been more than satisfying

    The breakfast was decent; the location is excellent — very close to both the bus and tram stations. It’s also within walking distance to the Cologne Dom. The staff here are incredibly helpful, and the hotel room is clean, tidy, and comfortable to stay in.

    Curtains were light and it was just a light blind at sink window so the light woke us early.

    Near the train station (10 min walk) Lovely modern room. Very comfy bed. Bars and restaurants nearby. We were given a token each for a free beer in the bar next door. Beer tap in the room which you can get them to supply with beer for a fee.( we had only 2 nights there so didn't use) We paid for breakfast 1 day and it was nice, good selection of food

    There really wasn't much not to like. We had one tiny problem while we were there, which we just put down to a misunderstanding due to language. We hadn't booked any breakfasts before arrival as we wanted to see what was in the area before committing. For day 2 onwards we decided to breakfast at the hotel (for convenience as we were out and about fairly early to do all the touristy things). We ordered and paid for breakfast for the rest of the duration of our stay. What we didn't know (and wasn't pointed out when we booked) was that breakfasts aren't available on Mondays. Monday being our last day, a breakfast before departing the hotel would have been much easier for us. The lovely chap on reception made a few recommendations for places nearby that were excellent and we were fully refunded for the missing meal when we checked out. As I mentioned above though, I believe it was a communication error due to language and not something to be held against the hotel in any way - more a case to be aware that they don't offer breakfast on Mondays.

    The rooms was fresh, clean and well laid out for our purposes. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. They all spoke very good English too, which helped us as my German isn't very good, although I do speak a little. Location wise, it's above a bar/restaurant/brewery and near to some busy junctions and public transport hub for bus and tram, so don't expect it to be quiet. That said, it was all "happy" noises with people enjoying themselves laughing and chatting in the bar. There are a number of useful places very nearby - a selection of cafes/restaurants, a couple of local shops and a very good Ice Cream place. Access to transport couldn't be easier as it's mostly just over the road. It's a 10-15 min walk from the main station (or 3 stops on a no 5 Ubahn with a 3 min walk to the hotel once you get off). Heumarkt is just beyond the public transport hub and has many very good eateries. Overall, it's a lovely location to use as a base to get around.

    Sadly some of the little things that were thrown in are eroding - the green token for a complementary beer for example or the complementary bottle of water.

    I’ve stayed here many times in the past and the standard is always good. Breakfast was great and thank your for making me bacon!

    They don't change the room sheets and towels daily, due to their sustainability initiatives. If you do want it, you have to ask for it. It didn't bother us, so we didn't ask. Not really a negative, but it's essential to know. It would be nice if they had a fridge.

    Excellent location and very easy to walk to all the main attractions in Cologne. The staff were very pleasant and even gave us some complimentary beer coupons. The rooms were cozy, well-designed (maybe renovated), and well-lit, with large windows. Some reviews complained about noise from the bars below, but we stayed on the weekend when the bars were full, and we were not disturbed at all.

    Walking into the bathroom is something I still find odd but not really an issue unless you are sharing the room with someone other than a partner.

    Staff were friendly and the facilities were good and well maintained.

    Not much to say here, I really had no negative thoughts whilst I stayed.

    The hotel exceeded my expectations. Old in charm but everything you need for a comfortable stay. The staff couldn't be more helpful and the brewery connected to the hotel is a must visit for a meal and beverage at the end of the day. The location is right on the edge of the old part of town with everything within easy walking distance. The Koln Messe is 2 easy stops from the Strasse Bahn which is basically across the street. This will be my new home for the future when visiting Koln. Neil - Australia

    The mattress was a little too stiff for my taste, but others may like that..

    Perfect location to explore the city, but also easy to reach the fair by public transport. All kind of restaurants all around at Heumarkt, but also a great traditional restaurant in the same building. Nice and helpful staff, cosy and clean room and simple but good and fresh breakfast buffet.
