One night was enough
Pros:

The room is lovely and very clean. The breakfast perfect English and continental. The check out time and breakfast end times are more dignified and allowed us to enjoy our stay.

Cons:

The bed is hard like a carpet on the floor. Why have a bed at all? The parking is ridiculous. All the hotels have parking but call them public. I need an electric charger and so used the 'public' car park under the hotel opposite and consequently charged more as I was not their guest. The real public parking is under the bridge and the staff told me it is only 10e/day with a charger available but it is very full. Its a shame this information is not given truthfully in the booking.com answers section about parking. Koln is strange for parking and with extra charges for everything it is impossible to budget
