Decent, but average and small room
Had no issues with my stay, but the room was average and small which was good enough for me.
Location was good, about a half mile walk to the Cathedral. Rooms are simple, but comfortable. No elevator so you will have to walk up 1-4 flights of stairs. Breakfast was included with a selection of breads, cheese and cold meats. Free parking was a public lot half a mile away and was only free during the night. Staff during the day was friendly and helpful. No staff onsite after dark, but you are given a key to a side entrance. Street side can be a little noisy at night.
Hotel is generaly good but the heater is not sufficient enough to heat the room and the bathroom. Hotel by the way has no lift, good for excercise. Location is very good and staff are friendly.

Well priced centrally located hotel
Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff.
Only downside, if it is a downside is front door is closed at 7PM and there are no staff there until next morning. You are given a key to a side door but not sure what would happen if there was an emergency.
They do not have double beds, so don't expect it! But the single beds were clean and tidy.
Breakfast was excellent.
There is NO FREE PARKING - but it is available at only 6 Euro for 24 hours, which is good.
Friendly personnel went out of their way to make us comfortable and the breakfast was terrific - much better than we'd expected for this price. Will book again if I ever go back to Cologne!

Sehr kleine Zimmer, nur für Übernachtung jedoch völlig ausreichend.
Trotz der Riesenlange Eingangstreppe, war ich mit dem eigenen kleinen Bad, dem Balkon und auch noch mit Blick auf den Dom sehr begeistert. Sehr sauber und bei Bedarf wird täglich Bettwäsche und Handtücher ausgewechselt. Leider kein TV vorhanden, aber durch WLAN kein Problem. Sehr gerne wieder!
P.S. Toppen würde es noch mit einem kleinen Kühlschrank. 😉
Niedrigklassiges, aber sauberes Hotel. Völlig unkomplizierter Check-in mit Schlüsseltresor. Zimmer ausreichend groß. Ein Späti ist ums Eck. Das einzige, was überhaupt bemängelt werden kann, ist, dass m.E. auch in dieser Preisklasse ein zumindest kleiner Fernseher zur Standardausstattung der Zimmer gehören sollte, aber das ist verschmerzbar. Insgesamt eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für den Budget-Urlaub bzw. den schmalen Geldbeutel.
Très bien situé, proche de tout, chambres propres, équipement simple mais ça me convenait très bien, personnel efficace, système de code à l'arrivée très pratique.
Juste un petit bémol quant à l'insonorisation

Bitte nur für Gäste, die gut zu Fuß sind - es gibt keinen Lift. Check in mit Code konnte ich meinen Schlüssel in Empfang nehmen - kaum persönliche Berührungspunkte.
