Great facility. Modern, all the amenities you need for a hotel. Great breakfast selection between traditional German food and American. Friendly staff!
Was okay, breakfast had a variety of food and drinks.
It’s walkable to the rhein river, parkhouse is directly under the hotel
A brewery is next to it same as mcfit and police.

Staff was friendly, but mildly incompetent. Room was okay, bathroom was in a bad state. Not to mention the fact that maintenance started drilling a floor at 8 o clock… Breakfast was pretty good.

Freezing cold large room
We paid extra for the larger room. Nice large room with a giant window.
** Don't stay if you like to be warm. The heat only goes to 22c. 90% of the time it was at 21c. Coming in from a day out, you had to wear your jacket.
The beds were small and extremely hard.
The staff was friendly and house keeping checked in everyday. The front desk did bring up extra comforter because the room would not stay even at 22c.

The hotel has a nice veneer. On the surface, it appears well-apportioned with all the ysual amenities. However, just about everything is just a bit off. Parkibg (as mentioned by other reviews) is a mess. We got in but couldn't get into the hotel section of the underground lot. The check in girl had to come down to open the internal gates. Leaving was even worse. The hotel doesn't have a night staff and when we tried to leave at 6 am, the pay kiosks didn't work. We had to wait a half an hour for someone to show up. Fortunately, we had built in extra time to drive to the airport in Frankfurt.
The hotel is not in Köln proper. Expect to drive to the city, grab an Uber or figure out public
Thewas big and clean but furnishings were dated. The a/c was functional. The 3rd bed (cot) leg had a nasty habit of collapsing. The shower wand holder was broken and there was a leak under the tub.
The breakfast was good. Probably the best scrambled eggs I had in Europe. The restaurant attached (not part of the hotel) had excellent sauerbraten and dumplings.
The vending machine also didn't dipense product paid for. The desk clerk also couldn't get it to work.
The staff was attentive and did what they could but you coukd tell they've been dealing with these issues for a long time. There is a nice bar set up in the lobby but I never saw it staffed.
All in all, the hotel served it's purpose and none of the issues ruined the trip but with a few tweaks, the hotel could be very nice.
Great option for a short stay! The hotel is quiet, cozy, and the staff is super nice. Definitely recommend if you want a relaxing and comfortable place
