Prima verblijf op top locatie

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel

Ein Wohlfühlort inmitten der Innenstadt
Pros:

Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal am Empfang! Das Zimmer war recht klein, aber schön hell, sauber und gemütlich und - trotz der hervorragenden Lage inmitten der geschäftigen Innenstadt - ruhig.

Gerne wieder in Köln!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotel hätte nicht besser sein können. Vom Bahnhof sind wir 10 Minuten gelaufen und man war mitten in der Stadt. Frühstück war gut! Das Personal war sehr nett!

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sehr klein und deshalb schlecht belüftet. Es war sehr stickig in der Nacht. Die Bettdecken waren für uns zu warm.

Pros:

Uitstekende locatie, op tien minuten van het station, centraal en dicht bij horeca en de Rijn. Mooie kleine kamer met badkamer.
Naast het hotel is een café waar je vanaf tien uur kunt ontbijten.

Cons:

In de buurt was ergens een toestel dat wat geluid maakte, zodat ik met het raam dicht heb geslapen
