Pros:

The location was excellent! Just 1 minute from the bustling shopping streets where you will literally find hundreds of shop and stores! Also just a 1 minute walk to the famous Köln Cathedral. Staff where very friendly and welcoming!.

Cons:

We stayed during a heatwave so I would recommend some Air conditioning for this hotel, However we where supplied with a cooling tower, was somewhat effective.

Pros:

Sijainti loistava. Henkilökunta oikeen mukava. Huone siisti ja kaikki kunnossa.

Cons:

Huone oli todella kuuma eikä ikkunoita saanut kunnolla auki. Helteillä tämä huone vaikeutti olemista.

Ціна не відповідає якості, цені такого готелю має бути меньшою
Pros:

Чисто і гарний вигляд номеру. Сподобалось , що коли до кінця сніданку залишалося 5 хв нам дозволили поснідати

Cons:

Готель у центрі міста, дуже гучно з вулиці, вікна відкрито і чутно абсолютно все . Закрити вікна не можливо тому що не має кондиціонера. Ми приехали серед ночі у спеку , вдень було 39 -40 градусів, не має кондиціонера, а вентилятор майже не працював. Одна доба коштувала 150 євро без сніданку , це дуже дорого для такого готелю, вот того абсолютно не варто. Дуже дорого

Die Lage des Hotels ist wunderbar, aber in der Nacht etwas laut.
Pros:

Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet für Unternehmungen und wenn man mit dem Zug anreist. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Leider hatte das Zimmer keine Klimaanlage (bei 40 Grad Außentemperatur) aber es wurde ein Ventilator bereit gestellt. Wenn das Fenster in der Nacht geöffnet ist, ist es sehr laut. Ist halt mitten in der Altstadt.

Avoid on heatwave or Friday night
Cons:

Avoid this property on a Friday night or a heatwave. The property is not air conditioned and the temperature on the 4th floor during the heatwave was inhumane. There is a rooftop DJ opposite that played a set until 4am. It was impossible to sleep, we checked out as soon as we could.
