Solide

Ok, das nächste Mal ein anderes Zimmer
Pros:

Die Lage war gut, wir hatten kein Frühstück gebucht.
Die beiden Herren an der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer ok. und zur Straße bei geschlossenen Fenstern sehr ruhig.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer lag leider direkt am Flur noch vor der Rezeption im Treppenhaus.
Dadurch ging jeder laut daran vorbei und wahrscheinlich hat niemand registriert, dass das schon ein Zimmer des Hotels war.

Das Duschwasser könnte mehr Druck haben.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, Zimmer Top sauber, ruhig und entspannt geschlafen.
Tolle Themen Zimmer, jedes anders, wir hatten das Lesezimmer zum Hof raus gelegen, himmlische Ruhe obwohl sich unten im Haus eine Gastronomie befindet, die auch sehr gemütlich ist.
Kommen wieder wenn wir nach Köln reisen.
Parkhaus in unmittelbarer Nähe, Tipp die App vom Parkhaus vorab herunterladen, sich registrieren und sehr günstig Parken.
