Was skeptical about coming with the amount of bad reviews, we checked in Thursday 29th January and the staff was helpful and friendly, we struggled to find the room which was our own fault we did multiple laps of the hotel, we found it was clean , we we just a little outdated but nothing bad at all, the room itself was okay; they was a stain on the carpet , and the window didn’t open but other then that everything was okay, the hotel is in a good location close by to everything , and breakfast was okay we only went once but it was quiet a nice little area and all the staff we saw were friendly and nice, we checked out Saturday - we had an amazing stay and we would definitely come back and we reccomend this hotel! Do not listen to all the bad reviews we was really impressed , such good value for the money!

Liked: Cleanliness
Comfortable enough. Clean enough. Very serviceable 2-3 star hotel. No extras, long queues for check in. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy check out. Could use additional sound proofing. Stairs everywhere, with lifts but only in some places. Not an issue for me to take 5-6 stairs but those with mobility issues should be wary.
The property is walkable to all main areas. The staff were all friendly, Saleem at the check in was very helpfulf and went above expectations to help us out. Breakfast was good and the room was clean and comfotable.
Good location, nice breakfast, the room was clean and as pictured. It was a nice stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Definitely value for money with nice continental breakfast included. We booked the comfort room on top (5th) floor, comfortable beds, small shower, no air conditioning but the tilt window allows fresh air in, carpet needs replacing, walls freshly painted. Quaint hotel and staff were helpful.
Good area. Front desk was friendly. Some security issues seen for my room that werent taken seriously by who i presumed to be the manager, or even when asked to increase the security in an easy way, that clearly wasn't communicated or followed through.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Stop here for one night, was good and comfortable enough, good breakfast nothing to complain
The main thing for us was to have a nice bed and hot water. The distance to the main attractions was walkable and we felt safe walking through the neighborhood.
Very helpful staff and good value. Convenient location.

Location is as good as you are going to get for that price range: very basic but clean, no food service in hotel other than good breakfast. No coffee maker or tea amenity in the room or throughout the hotel.
Overall great stay, however very outdated and the shower was very small. However, for the price what you receive is appropriate. It is a fantastic location!
2-3 metro tram stops from HBF via Neumarkt. Residential neighborhood but near by everything by walking distance. Very reasonable price with simple buffet breakfast in this inflation time. Super fried front desk.
Very close to the transport and shopping and bars. Unlimited breakfast option but only continental breakfast available. Hotel very clean and friendly staff. Only disappointment was there was no coffee facilities in the room itself which I would expect from a hotel chain

The property was convenient to tram, restaurants and shopping.
Older room, needs updating.
Nice little hotel; a bit tired but clean and tidy. Staff helpful. The area isn’t the best in Köln but safe. Breakfast very adequate, and chef is nice. Would recommend for a short stay.
I was nervous about booking this hotel based on the reviews but it far surpassed our expectations. All staff were very helpful, 24 hour reception, extensive free breakfast, lift, clean bedding and room, a safe and hair dryer in the room, very close to transport restaurants and supermarkets.
Only minor downside is no kettle in the room.
I would recommend this hotel to any and would definitely stay here again if I was in the city.
Location was good and accessible however the condition of the room was poor. The room was absolutely sweltering hot compared to reception areas and the corridor. The shower head was broken and was spraying water out of the shower and flooded the bathroom floor. The free WiFi did not work. The beds were very uncomfortable. Disappointed with the hotel overall.
Spotless clean room, working desk, great internet wireless, elevator working, very good heating and hot water. Comfortable beds and pillows. Nice breakfast. Smoking area outside, even standing, but with wall asthray. Very good area in very short walking distance (max 250 meters) to kiosks, restaurants, bars. 4.5 km from main Cologne train station, a 10-12 euro by Uber. Great price on BB rate, and excellent value for money. Not luxury, to say this, and maybe in need to change some carpets etc and improve minor details, but spotless clean, at least the room I had and what else we saw during a night stay. It exceeded my expectations after reading the bad reviews, but maybe they had changes in management and personnel. Most glad I would book it again if I need an overnight stay in that area in Cologne (2.5 km from University Hospital of Cologne).
