Top Lage mit einsehbaren Bad
Pros:

Lage, Sauberkeit, Varianten der Räume

Cons:

Das Bad und Toilette sind einsehbar. Selbst wenn man mit dem Partner reist, ist es unbequem. Die Schiebetür war aus Milchglas, aber bei angeschaltetem Licht, ist die Silhouette überall zu sehen.

Pros:

Einfacher check-in, top Lage, schönes Zimmer, sauber, sehr einfalllsreich gestaltet. Türöffnung mit Handy.

Cons:

Man sollte wissen, dass das Badezimmer nur durch einen durchsichtige Glaswand getrennt ist. Wir waren im 4..Stock, es gibt 5, und kein Fahrstuhl. Für uns kein Problem, aber sollte man wissen. Keine große Ablagemöglichkeiten, für Kurztrip ok.

Wonderful stay in a room with much attention to detail
Pros:

In a beautiful street of Cologne we found our hotel. We stayed in the 'Japan-themed' room, and the decoration and attention for detail exceeded our expectations. I travelled with my mom, who is quite critical and values a clean room above all. She was beyond happy and loved every detail. Also the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was perfect for a city-trip, 15 min walking to the Kolumba Museum and to the Dom.

Cons:

During the night it was quite loud, we had the windows closed but the bar across the street had many people outside. However, I think this could be fixed with good earplugs, I only had forgotten mine.
