Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr schön hergerichtet und sehr gut zusammengestellt in einem gemütlichen Raum. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Ein kleines gemütliches familiäres Hotel. Es war alles sehr sauber.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss und für meine Empfindung sehr dunkel. Für eine Übernachtung Okay da man nur dort schläft, für mehrere Tage würde ich ein anderes Zimmer vorziehen.

Zentrales gutes Hotel in Köln, jeder Zeit wieder
Pros:

Ich war in diesem Hotel 2 Nächte, die erste Nacht hatte ich direkt gebucht mit meiner Frau. Wir hatten ein sehr bequemes Zimmer mit zusätzlichem kleinen Wohnzimmer. Das macht eine Übernachtung sehr bequem. Das Bad war klein aber gut. Das Frühstück war gut, alles was man braucht war vorhanden. Und der Frühstücksraum war sehr schön ausgestattet. Das Hotel liegt in zentraler Lage, 2 Minuten zum Rhein, 2 Minuten zum Parkhaus, 5 Minuten zum Bahnhof, 3 Minuten zum Krankenhaus (Ja, auch das musste mal sein)

Keyifli ve güzeldi.
Pros:

Konumu Downtown a 7-8 dakika mesafede huzurlu bir sokakta sessiz sakin temiz bir otel. Kahvaltısı yeterli ve güzeldi. 2 gece konakladım ve Köln'e gelirsem tekrar kalmak isteyeceğim bir yer. Teşekkürler.

per una notte ok
Pros:

Posizione ottima. Silenzioso. Personale accogliente e disponibile abbiamo trovato la camera pronta già dalla mattina e abbiamo potuto lasciare i bagagli in deposito

Cons:

L’ascensore era fuori servizio. Il pavimento della camera non era ben pulito dopo poco i nostri calzini bianchi erano diventati neri sotto. Le lenzuola che coprivano il materasso erano vecchie con dei pallini che pizzicavano. C’era molta polvere negli angoli. Il vetro della doccia si chiudeva male e il lavandino era in camera.
