Geschikt hotel voor bezoek aan Keulen
Pros:

Het hotel ligt op 300 m van de Heumarkt en je bent dus direct aan de zuidkant van het centrum. Vanaf het hotel wordt de buurt wel wat minder aantrekkelijk (eroticashops, enz...). In het hotel werkte men met donkere kleuren, wat een weinig vrolijke indruk wekt. Maar de kamer was oké, het ontbijt prima en de ligging dicht bij het centrum zodat we alles te voet konden bereiken; winkels, restaurants, dom, musea ...)

Cons:

Niet zo'n aantrekkelijke buurt en nogal donker uitgewerkt. Maar sommige reviews die we lazen over het hotel zijn wel vrij streng.
