Great stay in hotel. Room is clean but you have to be close to the person you are sharing with as the shower opens into the room. Staff very friendly and nice bar area. Would definitely stay again

It’s a young people’s hotel. Clean and comfortable of loud. Amenities like hot drinks in a corridor rather than my room not for me. Perfectly good and good value for a type of traveller - just not this one ☺️ 51 year old business traveller.

Clean room that had a modern feel but a lot of character (and a real perk being able to rent a guitar to the room). Bar in the hotel was really cool and leans into the theme of the hotel (being a former TV studio) and drinks were sublime. Staff really friendly and overall, I find it hard to fault anything - we really enjoyed our stay here and if returning to Cologne, would likely stay here again. (Especially being in a good and central location - everything is walkable)

Friendly stuff, clean room, and the breakfast is very health, many vegan options. Room is reasonably quiet for how downtown the hotel is located. I do feel that the heat is turned a little bit too high in the room at night for my liking.

Amazingly clean room, simple, but stylish and great for a weekend break. The glass partition wall between bedroom and shower could be a test for friends sharing a room (there is a curtain, but I’m not sure how private this is). Staff were very nice and helpful. Check-in/checkout were effortless. Whilst there are no kettles in rooms each floor has a pantry where you can get teas and coffees at no extra cost.

Rooms were a great size and spotlessly clean. Marshall amps in each room were very tempting but I never heard anyone fully rocking out with a it of the guitars available so either every guest was very respectful or the noise proofing very good. The eco friendly approach to linens was novel, finally a hotel that rewards you for being environmentally conscious!

Highly recommended hotel in Cologne.

Lovely hotel we stay at for the same business trip annually. Comfy beds, modern rooms with great facilities and the most amazing in-room shower & sink area with the best light-up mirror. Love it and wouldn't enjoy anywhere else in Cologne as much.

It’s a nice hotel, similar to citizen M checkin experience and bar service. The bread was cold and dry, the food variety is limited, would be nice to have scrambled or sunny side up eggs, rather than only boiled eggs. The staff are well trained and are service minded, polite and helpful. The rooms are good, clean. Pillows are less than basic. Shower and other amenities are very good.

Quirky

Great location and helpful staff. Loved the jazz theme and their green initiatives such as no housekeeping in return for a free drink at the hotel bar. Room comfortable and clean too
