Een weekendverblijf naar volle tevredenheid.
Pros:

Perfecte locatie,op loopafstand van het Hauptbahnhof.
Alles schoon en netjes.
Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is erg goed.

Cons:

Er viel me niks tegen,maar er was geen douchegordijn in de badkamer,waardoor tijdens het douchen de rest van de badkamer en de vloer nogal nat werden.
Douchegordijn zou wenselijk zijn.

Great stay overall (fan and larger bathroom would have been appreciated)
Pros:

• The location is great, 20 minutes on foot from Cologne Central Train Station, in the heart of the city centre.
• Check-in and check-out was spot on: we arrived after midnight, the hotel didn't have any issue with that. Check-in is automatic, as you are emailed a code to grab your key and the whole process is smooth and very easy to follow. Check-out was also great. We asked if we could leave the room at 11am instead of 10am and this was granted without any problem.
• Mattresses were superb. They were sturdy and comfy, perfect combination.
• The room was very good value for money (compared to other nearby options), very spacious with also a wardrobe and a table with chairs.
• Very nice smell on the stairs to get to the room.

Cons:

• The bathroom was cosy, but very tiny. The shower had a large curtain, it was not that easy to take a shower without touching the curtain or spill water on the floor.
• There was no TV or fan in the room. Not a big deal, but with very hot temperatures a fan would have been nice.
• Room view was on the street and because of the hot weather, we needed to have the windows open for ventilation. It would have been ok, but people passing by on the street were very noisy even late at night.

Pros:

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Letti comodi e posizione centrale.

Cons:

Non essendoci l'ascensore e stare al terzo piano non è stato proprio il massimo, però a qualcuno doveva toccare...

I've never seen such a bad hotel (I've traveled to over 20 countries and hundreds of cities).
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The only good thing was the location, but the steep and long stairs ruined that too. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable and not clean; nothing was clean. They provided two table fans, but one was too noisy to turn on, and the other was broken (it constantly spun and squeaked). The towels were torn and worn, and had residue on them; the other items were no different. The Wi-Fi didn't work sometimes, and even when it did, it was incredibly slow; you could think of it as if there was no Wi-Fi at all in this hotel. Don't message the hotel, they won't reply; they don't care about anything that happened to you, they only care about the money they'll get. You ruined our trip to Cologne; you absolutely did not deserve the money you took.
