The pillows could use an improvement and the showers spill water everywhere and steam the whole bathroom as there is no fan. Overall bed is comfy and the area is convenient

The tv turned on randomly and about ten minutes later back off. Very weird. There was a bed and a bathroom. It was quite and in a great location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in cologne . The best parts about the hotel was it was easy to get to from station . Despite our stay being ok there were a few niggling parts . Our room was at the top of the building (76 steps) and for a couple over 50 this was a bit of a hike . The room Itself was v basic. With no added amenities . We were on the road side so was noisy. The bathroom and shower was excellent.
Our host was friendly and helpful . Although i have added a few faultsthese were personal and the overall picture is iwould recommend this for a younger traveller on a budget

The best part about this place is that the beds were very comfortable, other than that, very old fashioned, more like a hostel , only stairs no lift, the stairs are a hazard and the host seems to want to save money on everything. Although it was a very clean place.
Good location and reasonable quality. The hotel is being refurbished so the stairs are covered to protect the carpet and there are a couple of decorators around which is a bit disconcerting.
We had two triple rooms which were right at the top of the building so several flights of stairs to climb. Our rooms had been refurbished to a good standard. However the bathroom had no hooks/rails for towels or clothes so you had to drape them on the sink/back of the toilet and there was no curtain/door in the shower so the bath mat got very wet.
Over all these issues did not detract from our stay, just things to be aware of.
The person who checked me in was a little uninterested, but otherwise the stay was fine. They seemed to be having work done on the place. The bathrooms could do with a refresh, but they were adequate. The room was good. Only stayed one night and it did the job.
Room was small but nice. We checked in very late at night and left early in the morning. Our room had a moon and star light on the ceiling which was the most memorable part of our stay. I would absolutely recommend this place if you’re travelling to Cologne
Ideal for my purposes, all the facilities I required. Clean, well presented and within very easy reach of bars/restaurants, main station and exhibition centre. My room was a compact, single, sufficient storage and hanging space for my 2 night stay.
This place it's pretty good, we stayed in 15 which was a triple room. We checked in around midnight and encountered no problem. If you check in after hours it will all be done by phone which was no problem at all. We did not have breakfast so I don't know about the food. This place is basic, just come sleep and recharge. Our room was clean and had a table and chair. This place doesn't have a lift so walk your butts up work your luggage, after all you came here to walk. Also no air conditioner, but I don't see it as a negative but FYI. Park on the street, good luck. Overall, good place to crash.
Nice clean hotel in a brilliant location short walk from nearest u bahn station and well connected. Also near one of the bus tour stops. I was given a choice of two rooms which I've never experienced before and was a nice little surprise. I chose the bigger room even though I had to use a private external bathroom which was fine. The shower was located in the corner of the room though only separated by tray and shower curtain which was a bit strange but got used to it. Overall a nice stay.

Igor was friendly and helpful, relatively cheap and with free WiFi.
But I must say that the room was small, not one that was advertised. Outdated, broken tiles, holes in the shower where an old one was before. Our ‘double room’ was 2 single beds put together with 2 single duvets, the light switch/plug socket was loose from the wall, making it dangerous when taking a plug out. The rooms were ‘cleaned’ daily but not once were our sheets changed, or floor swept.
Overall, it was okay on a budget but needs the maintenance
Very nice hotel n just 2 stops away from Dom Cologne station where need to change another metro. Food place is nearby or can take a metro to city. Very nice hotel staff in the morning n friendly. Worth for money as well.
