Excellent services from hotel staff especially Alex, he was exceptional nice, polite and very friendly.

Actually a little south of the traditional Altstadt area of Cologne. You definitely need to be ready to walk if you want to hot the Dom area. Parking exists but in a separate building around the corner. Very tight and small parking spaces.

The hotel was very busy but the rooms were superbly quiet and comfortable. The only slight issue was that even with the aircon turned to minimum the room was still quite warm. But excellent value and perfect for what we needed. A good option was that in exchange for not having our room cleaned, we got two free drinks vouchers which we exchanged in the bar the next day. Brilliant!

Really enjoyed this property, was an easy walk to many of Cologne’s landmarks, shopping and restaurants. My one complaint would be with the pillows, which were terrible, flat and no support might as well have not had one. Would we stay again, only if they get better pillows or at least ones that are not ready for the trash can

Not the right information at the check in, they did not tell that the breakfast was almost the same price as the stay!!! I will never come back, the hotel is so grey, everything is grey in the corridors; floors, wall, doors....no color nowhere. Not very friendly staff, only one person the night we checked in.

Forget the energy crisis, this hotel is a 1000 degrees inside. As well as the lobby, hallways and the room it is like a sauna. Unfortunately the AC in the room only blows hot air! Therefor we opened the window in our room, but we were not able to sleep because of the enormous amount of noise coming from the road next to the hotel. The staffmember the next day wasn't helpfull at all, will not return to NH again.
