My opinion
Pros:

Hotel was ok, breakfast was good! Room was a little dated. Cologne, other than the Cathedral, and old town area was good, but the rest of the city was blah and dreary

Pros:

The hotel is conveniently located just a few walks away from a metro station (Hansaring station). The hotel is old and the rooms need a little bit of renovation but over-all it was okay. The hotel offers breakfast buffet for an additional 12 euros.

Pros:

The hotel was in a perfect location for the city centre, either to walk or use the U bahn. The room was very clean and the staff super friendly. They also helped us to solve a problem we had with our suitcase which we really appreciated. Thank you! Couldn't recommend the hotel more.

Pros:

Upon arrival the front desk person clearly had no business being the person greeting people and set a negative tone for our stay. To be fair, the hotel was good. Clean, plenty of towels and hot water. Wifi was good, tv good, bed fine. Good area. The walls snd doors care thin and you will hear everything. It’s in a pretty good location. Pretty much the only reason I wouldn’t recommend or stay there is the staff. Jerks

Pros:

The room was big and bathroom was a very good size. I loved the bath. The check in was good and they allowed me to leave my suitcase there as i arrived before check in. The two guys at reception were amazing and friendly and helpful. The room had good natural light. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding with a good selection of foods. The shower was good with plenty of hot water and great pressure. The hotel has a nice vibe and feels comfortable. I could see the manager (or head person) checking everything was ok. I would definitely stay again.

Pros:

On the bright side- the location is good, the room was old fashioned but pleasant, breakfast was fine, the shower was very good. There is a nice coffee shop with good internet next door which is important because the wifi at the hotel was down for the duration of my stay. Do your research about the city before you arrive because the concierge couldn't help with any of my enquiries- Where to find internet? Is there a laundrette near by? When will the wifi be repaired? He simple answered "I don't know" to all my questions.
