Voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

De locatie is perfect. Hotel staat in een straat met leuke bars en eetgelegenheden. Veel winkels en horeca op loopafstand met voor elk wat wils. Centrum en altstad zijn op 10 minuten loopafstand en parkeergarages op 3 minuten loopafstand van het hotel.

Cons:

Geen airconditioning in de kamer, wel ventilators in de kamer waardoor het wel aangenaam bleef in de kamer

Lebhaftes Köln
Pros:

Zentral in Köln, für uns perfekt gelegen, da alles in Laufweite. Belgisches Viertel oder Innenstadt / Dom / Bahnhof / Rhein - alles direkt um die Ecke. Es ist abends eine lebhafte Ecke und nachts auch mal lauter auf der Straße, für uns aber akzeptabel, da wir auch gerne unterwegs sind. Man kann die Fenster zu machen, die sind gut schallisoliert. Das Zimmer selbst war stimmig eingerichtet und besonders hat uns die Lösung mit dem Bad / Dusche gefallen. Alles in allem ein schönes Erlebnis und tatsächlich eine Abwechslung.

Cons:

An den Tagen, als wir da waren, war es recht warm, daher haben wir nachts die Fenster offen lassen müssen. Am Wochenende wegen der Lautstärke dann eine Entscheidungsfrage. Eine Klimaanlage wäre nützlich.

Fantasievoll - sehr freundlicher Empfang

Cons:

Keine Klimaanlage - Ventilator - es war mir persönlich zu heiss - musste Hotel wechseln. Kleines Treppenhaus - Rezeption im 1. Stock - Zimmer im 2. etwas mühsam mit Gepäck

Erg fijn hotel
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Leuk dat alle kamers een heel eigen sfeer hebben. Omdat het niet zo druk was mochten we een aantal kamers zien en zelf kiezen welke we wilden.

Cons:

Het was er erg warm, maar ach de hele stad was bloedheet.
