Excellent little hotel, very close to the Cologne Cathedral, and with many shops ans restaurants around. Area is actually quiet at night. Love that you can hear the Cathedral bells from the balcony of the room.

Amazing location! Everything is within walking distance — the Cologne Cathedral, the train station, Christmas markets, shopping streets, and tons of great food. The room is small, but very clean and well taken care of. Breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I’d definitely stay again

The manager was a welcoming and friendly character who wore a smile every time we saw him. The room was clean and well lit. There were a few negatives to our stay, such as a bad smell on arrival but that cleared after we aired out the room, the radiator needed bleeding but it still kept the room warm, most frustrating is there was no access to an iron. Despite the negatives, this hotel ticked every single box for us - although we are not too fussy. The service, location, and hotel in general was perfect for us and I wouldn’t think twice about staying here again.

The stay itself was fine, location good. However, only 8 hours before I left home to travel to the hotel I got an email from them to say my room was cancelled. When I phoned the hotel no one knew why. This left me very distressed as I knew cologne was going to be very busy. Although I’d booked a superior room with twin bed all they were able to give my friend and I was a small comfort room with a queen bed. At that late stage we’d no option but to take it. However we were not reimbursed the difference. Very frustrating and disappointing at such a late stage. Room itself coukd so with a few hooks and shelves to store things

Great hotel that was so central I couldn’t believe it! Brilliant for just walking straight out to the shops or somewhere to eat. But it was still quiet at night. Comfy beds. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Located in a central and convenient area of Cologne close to restaurants and shopping options. Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly. We needed to store our bags when we checked out. They didn't really have a proper secure place to do so.
