Sadece başınızı sokacak bir yer arayanlar için konforlu bir tercih.
Pros:

Konumu iyi. Oda temizdi. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve yardımseverdi. Havlu, sabun ve tuvalet kağıdı vardır.

Cons:

Geceleri borulardan gider kokusu geliyor. Ve oda küf kokuyor. Kaldığım süre boyunca cam açık uyumak zorunda kaldım.
Oda için terlik yoktu. Yerler halıydı ve temiz hissi vermiyordu. Yanınızda terlik getirin.

A very convenient and comfortable stay
Pros:

Very close to the station and cathedral, but in a quiet area. There is also a little local shopping centre nearby. This was only an overnight stop for us, but we hope to spend longer in Cologne and will stay here again if we do. The staff were very friendly and let us leave our bags before check in time.

Cons:

Nothing in particular. The hotel is in an old building but was very comfortable and clean - full of character.

Pros:

Ligger super centralt og tre min gang fra hovedbanegården.

Et lille hotel med udmærkede værelser.
Men uden et egentligt fælle opholdssted

Pros:

Die zentrale Lage in der Altstadt, Sehenswürdigkeiten wie z.B. der Dom sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Wir hatten in der ersten Nacht ein schönes Zimmer, allerdings waren 2 der Fenster defekt und konnten daher nicht geschlossen werden, was aufgrund der Nähe zum Bahnhof und einer viel befahrenen Straße ungünstig war. Die Vorhänge waren zum Teil aus der Führungsschiene gerissen. Wir konnten dann am nächsten Tag in ein anderes Zimmer umziehen, wo das anliegende Bad leider nicht besonders sauber war.
