The location is just a block from one of the great squares of Cologne, with lots of great bars and restaurants, and one block from the Rhine. Also the breakfast was very good.

I wasn't planning on a hotel, I'd been in hostels my whole trip but they were all booked in Koln that particular day but the private room was refreshing. Very clean, showers were great, close to the river. Someone did unlock my door and walk into my room while I was napping around 7pm which I...

It is within 10-15 min walk from the central station, 5 min walk to restaurants by the river, an internet shop along the same street and in a quiet but safe stretch of road.close

Everything was good, you serve a really good breakfast. Only take care of your wireless internet provider because their voucher system it's not working after a second log in.

Comfortable beds, lovely duvets, very clean, friendly helpful staff. Breakfast is very high standard. Great hotel for visiting Christmas Markets. Only slight concern was that when we left the luggage on our leaving day they were kept in a room where the door was left open and the luggage could be seen from the street. The reception staff were right next door but it wasn't the most secure place to leave luggage. Apart from that, it was excellent.close

When I booked this hotel on-line, I paid a 10% deposit, but when I went to pay my bill at the end of my stay, they had no record of this and I ended up paying full price.

This hotel was in a great location and was walking distance from the main train terminal. Beds were really comfortable, shower was great, but the sink and shower needed to be de-clogged. You didn't have to run the water long and the water had backed up. Breakfast was outstanding!

Great location, not far from the main attractions and walking distance from the Hbf. Really good value for money too.

Just a short walk from the train station. The rooms were very clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent. The only downside was the smell of smoke in the hallway, but we were in Germany after all. I wouldn't let that deter you, it was a great place to stay. The best place I've stayed at through...

Ideal budget hotel. Amazing breakfast. Clean room. Nice shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet. And did I say the breakfast was remarkable?

Let's just say they had lox, fresh bagels, baguettes, eggs, salsa, a few choices of cereals, yogurts, a fruit, cheese, and meat platter, fresh juices, etc., etc. My only regret was having to leave at 4:30 a.m. before breakfast was served. Two thumbs! It was the nicest ho(s)tel I have stayed at in the past 13 weeks of traveling abroad in Europe.close

This is a terrific little hotel, really classy, with hair dryer and fabulous breakfast buffet (shrimp, fruit, a variety of very good German cheeses and REAL bread! Not the closest to the cathedral, but on the right side of the river. Walk thru a charming, old part of town to get there.

I spent three days here and let me tell you- it was one of the best hotels i've ever been in, even though it is only a 3 star. location is fantastic- it was 5 minutes from the world Cup Fan fest and the entire city centre is within 15 minutes walking. Would recommend anyone to pay more than they...

The only thing is that the directions listed for it are really bad. We spent an hour looking for the right street. To get there, take the bus to Heumarkt. Cross Pippinstrasse and head right on Am der Malzmuerhle. The hotel is on the left about a block up the street. Other than that, we have had no problems with the hotel and recommend staying here.close
