Bon séjour, en visite à Köln pour deux jours.
Pros:

Très bien situé, seulement 10/15 min à pied de la cathédrale et de la gare. Chambre simple. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.

Cons:

Il pourrait y avoir dans le hall un distributeur de boissons (eau, café). Pas de réception.

Excellent value and perfect location
Pros:

The location was fab, short stroll to the main centre. Room had everything we needed and was spacious- comfy bed, extra blankets, heating, hairdryer, bedside lamp with USB ports and free WiFi. Extra pillows brought promptly when requested. It was clean and tidy and perfect for our short stay. Couple of cafes over the road for essential morning coffee, and great transport links nearby. Check in was simple and straightforward- popped the provided code into the contraption at the door and keys duly dispensed. Yes, there are stairs but they are not as steep as described.

Cons:

If you want a place with room service, thick white fluffy towels, in room extras or a smart TV, this place is not for you. Noise outside was quite loud but nothing the hotel can manage.

Pros:

Muy buena ubicación a pocas cuadras de la catedral.
También tiene un supermercado cerca.
Habitación amplia

Cons:

No tenía cocina, pero eso ya lo sabia tras la reserva. Pero tenía como un mueble que era cocina pero estaba cerrado con una brida y no se podía usar
Creo que eso hubiese cambiado mucho la estadía , aunque como he dicho : he alquilado sin cocina.

Struttura che consiglio a chi, come me, non ha grosse esigenze.
Pros:

Le dimensioni della stanza, la silenziosità, la posizione, le lampade sul comodino molto utili e funzionali, il letto comodo e gigante. Comodo lasciare in deposito le valigie, nel vicino "Top Kiosk" a 50 mt (3€ l'una/giorno)

Cons:

La pulizia non era delle migliori (ha una cadenza indefinita...) e data la tipologia della struttura, forse è meglio che venga fatta a fondo ad ogni cambio cliente. Nelle caratteristiche non era menzionato il phon, che mi sono portato, mentre in realtà c'era. Per la colazione ho usufruito dei due bar di fronte. Due cuscini in più (come hanno fatto per le coperte) sarebbe gradito. Poca collaborazione per le informazioni del check-in che vengono fornite 30 minuti prima e se dovessero esserci dubbi non sai a chi rivolgerti (sarebbe molto utile un video istruzioni su YouTube come fanno altre strutture del genere).

Disappointing. Unfortunately it was my worst experience.
Pros:

Only location is good, nothing else.

Cons:

Very small room and shower is in the room. Only a curtain is separating the shower. I wanted to take shower and 6-7 minutes later, fire alarm started to ring very loud. Of course other poeple heard it too. I couldn’t use hairdryer at night not to disturb more. The doors are next to each other and you can hear everything. There was no toilet in the room.

Pros:

Mir hat die Lage und die Erreichbarkeit gut gefallen.

Cons:

Ich will nicht darüber urteilen ob man den Bestandsschutz so auslegen kann, das man auch kleine Pensionen bzw. Hostels mal modernisieren sollte. Die Minidusche im Zimmer sollte doch mindestens einen Duschvorhang haben. Die Mischbatterie zeigt nicht aus welcher Richtung es kaltes bzw. warmes Wasser kommt. Der Wasserdruck ist gut, aber es dauert viel zu lange bis warmes Wasser auch aus der Mischbatterie kommt. Eine Ablage in der Dusche für Duschutensilien wäre auch nicht schlecht.
Das Bett aus dem letzten Jahrhundert funktioniert. Ich möchte aber nicht genauer hinschauen.
Gruß aus dem Osten !
Kommen Sie mal vorbei.

Pros:

Hotel económico, ideal para pasar un par de días. La habitación estaba limpia, era tranquila y la ubicación está bastante bien, relativamente cerca del centro. La habitación es pequeña, pero para una estancia corta puede ser suficiente. En general, buena opción si buscas algo sencillo y a buen precio.

Cons:

La organización del alojamiento podría mejorar bastante. No hay recepción presencial y el check-in es a partir de las 15:00, mientras que el check-out es a las 10:00, por lo que la estancia se hace bastante corta. Llegué a la ciudad antes de la hora de entrada y tuve que esperar con la maleta hasta que me enviaron el código de acceso. Además, si llevas maletas grandes, puede ser bastante incómodo, ya que algunas habitaciones están en un segundo o tercer piso y no resulta práctico subir el equipaje. Estaría bien que facilitaran alguna alternativa para dejar las maletas y mejoraran la comunicación sobre el acceso al alojamiento.

Ottimo soggiorno
Pros:

Struttura in una via molto tranquilla appena fuori dal centro; ci sono anche dei locali per mangiare e bere qualcosa

La stanza era molto pulita e con diversi spazi per poter appoggiare i propri effetti personali

Era anche presente un piccolo terrazzo

Cons:

Purtroppo si sentivano molto i rumori provenienti dalle stanze vicine alla mia
