Die Mitarbeiterin am Telefon und der Eincheck-Prozess sind zu später Stunde ein Problem!
Pros:

Die Lage ist super in der Nähe des Doms. Die alten Gebäude drumherum sind schön.

Cons:

Ich hatte angekündigt, dass ich spät einchecken werde (kurz vor 23 Uhr). Es steht zwar was von "24 Stunden offen" sowie zwei Handynummern an der verschlossenen Tür, aber als ich bei der ersten Handynummer anrief, schnauzte mich sofort eine Frau an, ob ich wissen würde, wie spät es ist. Ich hätte nachmittags eine Mail bekommen, mit der Info, wo ich den Schlüssel bekommen würde, sagte sie (die Email wurde mir aber erst später und nur im Booking.com-System angezeigt). Der Schlüssel war dann in einer Box, die mit einem Zahlenrad gesichert war. Ich hatte natürlich den Code nicht von der Email. Außerdem hing die Box viel zu hoch (ich bin 171 cm) und die Lichtverhältnisse waren nicht ausreichend, um das Zahlenrad richtig einzustellen. Mit Handylicht reflektierte es zu sehr. Mein Handy-Akku war zudem auf 1 Prozent runter. Ich war ziemlich verzweifelt. Leute von der Gastronomie gegenüber halfen. Eine Frau kriegte es aus besagten Gründen ebenfalls nicht hin. Der Mann fummelte so lange, bis es schließlich klappte. Aber auch die schimpften. Nee, sorry, so kann man Gäste nicht empfangen. Da muss ein professionelleres System her. Aber nun weiß ich auch, warum man vorher via Paypal bezahlen muss. Es gibt übrigens keine Klimaanlage. Das Zimmer war sauber, simpel und okay. Der Fernseher funktionierte nicht, hätte gerne die WM geschaut. Aber ich war ja froh, überhaupt reingekommen zu sein. Aber das ist mir zu viel Stress. Und die blökende Mitarbeiterin am Telefon das schlimmste Empfangskomitee ever! Die Umgebung mit den uralt Häusern drumrum und die direkte Lage in der Innenstadt sind natürlich großartig.

Fabulous location to see the most beautiful structure ever.
Pros:

Location, Location, Location!
Right in the thick of things. So easy to the cathedral, the river, the bridge, museums restaurants & bars & the train station. Lovely room & comfortable bed. Has an elevator!!

Cons:

It was really hot so we had the windows open & the restaurant noise came up but completely gone with the windows closed. Not the hotels fault it was hot!!! A fan might have been a fabulous addition though.

A Unique Stay with an Unbeatable View of the Kölner Dom!
Pros:

This hotel is so unique! We really loved the convenient self check-in process. The location is absolutely incredible—only 50 meters from the Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) and just 150 meters from the beautiful riverbank. It is right in the heart of the tourist area, with so many fantastic restaurant choices just steps away.
We booked the Junior Suite, and the balcony was absolutely wonderful—we had a direct view of the Kölner Dom! The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with good amenities, including air conditioning.
The AC during hot weather: We stayed during the summer when the weather in Cologne was extremely hot, and unfortunately, the AC struggled to keep the room cool.
Stairs and Luggage: The hotel has a small elevator,only reach 4 fl. Need stair to reach our room

Perfekt sted for kort opphold.
Pros:

Perfekt lokalisering for oss som bare skulle være én natt i Køln. Vi fikk tilbud om å kjøpe frokost, og vi slo til - det var virkelig en bra start på dagen! Utrolig god! Veldig koselig og imøtekommende betjening. Det var svært varmt i Køln, så uten air condition var det varmt på rommet, men vi kunne oppgradert for tillegg i prisen.

Cons:

Teppe på gulvet. Sengetøyet var av polyester, så det ble ekstra klamt i varmt vær.

Pros:

Check-in ist etwas kompliziert, ähnlich ETA für UK. Check-in hat letztlich aber sehr gut funktioniert, auch ohne persönlichen Kontakt.
Ansonsten sehr schöne, großzügige und sehr gut eingerichtete Wohnung in absoluter Spitzenlage, direkt an der Piazza Vittorio Alfiere, also am Rande der Altstadt.
Wir haben uns sehr zu Hause gefühlt.

sehr schöner Aufenthalt in einer tollen Gegend, mit einem super Frühstück
Pros:

Das Zimmer war ausgewöhnlich eingerichtet und alles sehr gemütlich. Die Inhaberin war ausgesprochen freundlich und kommunikativ. Das Frühstück war ganz große Klasse und reichhaltig. Wenn wir wieder einmal nach Köln kommen wissen wir auf jeden Fall wo wir übernachten.
Vielen Dank

Pros:

Es war total zentral, super freundliche Besitzerin.

Cons:

Es war an dem Wochenende leider sehr teuer (sonst günstiger), und ich mag keinen Teppich im Zimmer, er passte aber farblich sehr gut.
