Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was spotless very friendly staff and breakfast was excellent
Stayed 3 nights for the Christmas Markets.
Great location near Rudolfplatz tram/underground stops and just across the road from Nikolausdorf market. Was really easy to get around the city from here.
Room was spacious with all the usual amenities. Receptionists spoke excellent English (as my German is rubbish!) and were very helpful.
Nice atmosphere in the lobby bar at night too.
I’d stay here again.
Rooms were clean and spacious! The front always accommodated my needs and very helpful.
I like that parking was under hotel.
This would be a top choice if you’re staying in Köln!
The location is fantastic . I worked US hours and then went out every night at 11:00 pm to eat and drink with friends. It is across the street from the train and also a lot of bars and restaurants.
The hotel is good but the WiFi is not great. I asked to be on a top floor and worked off my phone.
We stayed at the hotel on three different occasions. Especially the rooms in the upper floors were quiet and views over the city were nice. Location was excellent.
Excellent modern comfy well-equipped hotel in a great location in the heart of Cologne’s restaurant, nightlife and culture scene, walking distance to everything and connected to transit
Perfect hotel. Very good location, nice stuff, big rooms, everything you can ask for.
The only downside was the A/C which could have been a bit better
Also amazing breakfast.
