Too noisy!!! No soundproofing!!!
We were booked in a room directly over the restaurant and facing the xmas markets. We found the room very noisy on entry and the noise went on till gone 1am. The noise then restarted about 3am when the cleaners came. We were unable to change rooms till the last night of our stay when we were given a quiet room facing another direction. The reception had no sympathy at all and we was greeted with 'what do you expect with a christmas market' I would expect better soundproofing of a room to ensure a peaceful stay. I wouldnt expect silence but certainly not a room that sounds like a nightclub! A complaint will be written to the hotel and i would definitely not stay here again.

I really wanted to avoid writing this review based on the lovely experience with the staff at the hotel. It was affordable and last minute for a big family. The rooms need a deep clean. The bathroom I had flooded. There were mosquitoes in the room and I woke up with bites on my face. The person doing check out was super nice and they also had their beautiful dog, who was also very friendly.

Good hotel for a brief stay. The hotel itself in on 2-4ths floors of the building; the first floor is a very busy restaurant... Great things: - they let me check in early - despite having the restaurant of the first floor, the rooms are quiet... Areas for improvement: - no air conditioning/thermostate in the rooms; I needed to keep the windows open to lower the room temp - stair case is carpeted, but the carpet in dirty - the access card to the building does not work at night; i and another customer had to bang on the door and the windows for at least 10 min before someone came to open the door. The reception is not staffed at night... - shower is a sad story... They use 40 cm glass panel to shied the water, which still pours on the floor in the common bathroom area... So, I literally had to mop the floors every single time I would use the shower... Please make it more practical... - no safeboxes in the rooms for any valuables... They claimed that the the hotel is safe, but with the restaurant guests going back and worths, I feel in needed the safe...

Check-in kiosk was took many steps to use, and it did not end up working. Going upstairs to reception there was no one there. Tried calling and someone hung up on me. Waited about 20 minutes for someone to come and check me in- told I needed to use kiosk that didn't work. Once finally checked in, room was fine. Lots of noise from outside due to construction for Cologne pride and being on a main street. Again for check-out, had to use the kiosk, which said there was no record of my reservation. Was in a hurry so just left key in the box. Really need to fix the kiosk system and have someone available at the reception. Hotel room itself was fine and clean, with gummy bears on the pillow, which was a cute touch.

This was a perfect place to stay the night while enjoying the city's many different christmas markets. It is perfectly situated beside one of the markets which made it easy for us to take a break in our room, use the washroom and drop off packages. This simple little hotel had everything we needed for a night in Cologne.

All was great except the noise.
The hotel is in a great location! Wonderful for sight-seeing, it was very clean, the restaurant was very busy! The only downfall was that there was no air conditioning, which made us keep the window open. Even this we could have lived with, as they provided a new fan. But the noise from outside: from sirens, to motorcycles, to an early-morning trash truck, they made it difficult to sleep. Everything was great except the noise. In a cooler time of year, these would not have been an issue.

It's in a wonderful little square, and close to the train and popular attractions. it was a little loud, and no AC as far as I saw so windows open means you're getting up when the area becomes crowded and loud, and staying up as late as the area is still crowded, which means midnight.

The best staff I’ve ever experienced
In all my travelling, this is the best customer service I’ve ever had at a hotel. All four members of staff (three at reception and one in the restaurant) went above and beyond to accommodate my request / just generally make my life easier. All of this was done with a smile, a sense of humour and without fuss. Genuinely such a pleasant stay in the perfect location. Couldn’t recommend more! From your guest in room 309
