Pros:

Das Hotel ist nicht weit vom Bahnhof, gleich neben einer U-Bahnstation. In der Umgebung gibt es viele nette Cafés und Restaurants.
Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich.

Clean and perfectly located !
Pros:

The receptionist might be the only polite German I’ve met in the middle-aged group. She gave us a recommendation for food. Also, the hotel is very clean and very beautiful. I don’t know if I’ll visit Cologne again, but I will recommend it to everyone who does 🤍

Cons:

It would be great if there were disposable slippers for guests coming from cultures that aren’t used to walking around with shoes on 🙂

Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels an sich war gut, aber ich hatte nicht erwartet, das Zimmer oberhalb des Eingangsbereichs und zur Straße hin zu bekommen. Damit war es sehr laut, einerseits durch die Rezeption und andererseits durch die mehrspurige Straße vor dem Haus.

Cons:

Lautstärke, Lage des Zimmers oberhalb der Rezeption und zur mehrspurigen Straße vor dem Haus, sehr überschaubare Ausstattung des Zimmers, Komfort des Zimmers, Lichtschalter für das Badezimmer kaum erreichbar, da hinter Kleiderschrank "versteckt", Schiebetüren der Duschkabine kaputt, Fenster zu geräuschdurchlässig etc., Notwendigkeit zur Barzahlung trotz Buchung über Booking.com

Pros:

The location, reception, hotel and furnitures… everything was okay

Cons:

Actually everything was good but at night we saw 4-5 little bugs (silberfisch?) that’s why I gave 8/10
Otherwise it’d be 10/10

Freundliches Hotel mit modernen Zimmern.
Pros:

Freundliches Hotel, modern mit neuen Zimmern und Bad. Ein Tick unpersönlich und clean. Sehr sauber ist es schon. Gut gelegen, 5 Min. vom Ebertplatz. Damit gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

Great visit, good location and would stay again
Pros:

Good location and lovely rooms.

Cons:

Had to pay in cash rather than by card. A little tricky for such a large group. Also had to pay extra for an additional room card even though there was more than one per room

Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut für meine Zwecke. Das Zimmer war großzügig, es gab einen Wasserkocher auf dem Zimmer. Komfortable Dusche. Kein Teppichboden. Das Zimmer war sauber.

Cons:

Zimmer konnte nur bar bezahlt werden. Die Sprungfedern der Matraze waren ertastbar. Sie war sehr weich, deshalb war es nicht ganz so schlimm für den Rücken wie nach dem ersten Schreck erwartet. Leider gab es sehr laute Gäste in der zweiten Nacht und Streit im Treppenhaus.
