The property is very close to the Hauptbanhof, Rhine River and DOM. Staff was very friendly and the property was clean. Not the nicest neighborhood but a very traditional German Urban hotel.

Minimal, But Updated and Clean Property

The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The rooms were updated and well-appointed. There is no lift so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Shared bathrooms were clean and we generally didn't have any problems having access to them (did have to go to a bathroom on a different floor once or twice). We would stay again.

Had a great stay, excellent value for money. It’s simple but very clean and well cared for. My room at the back was quiet and the bed is excellent. Basically around the corner of Köln Hauptbahnhof and the cathedral Dom, so both practical and attractive for excursions. Not a very lively neighboorhood but that’s easily found nearby and provides a quiet rest. Will be happy to return!

Small room with no toilet nor shower in the room

I paid more than 100 €/night for a single room. There was no shower nor toilet in the room ! Way overpriced, but this was due to an exhibition taking place in Cologne. The positive point is that the persons at the reception are very friendly and ready to help !
