Beleza
Pros:

Amei a localização, janela do quarto, eu conseguia ver a belíssima catedral. Fiquei muito feliz em acordar com esta vista. E o hotel fica perto de tudo.

Pros:

Super zentrale Lage
Tolle Aussicht auf den Dom
Ruhig

Cons:

Die Bettdecke war leider zu dünn, mussten dann die Heizung anmachen
Ein Wasserkocher wäre auch nicht schlecht, aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau

Stay elsewhere. Literally anywhere else.
Pros:

The location was great.

Cons:

The facilities were extremely modest, and that’s being generous. The man who checked us in was pleasant, but his partner was beyond rude and inhospitable. She was pounding on our door at 10:45am, telling us that we had “better be ready for checkout” (at 11:00am). I also heard her speaking disparagingly about me on the phone when I committed the grave error of asking her to remind me which way the elevator was. There did not appear to be anyone else staying in the hotel, so I’m not sure what the issue was. There was also what appeared to be mouse feces behind the curtains (but I could be wrong). The door to our room did not lock, but the main entrance to the hotel sure did. We were provided one key for two people, which was very inconvenient when my father/travelling partner and I decided to split up for a bit (as we were only in Cologne for 20 hours or so). Frankly, the place was a dump, which I could have easily overlooked if the staff were even remotely pleasant. Neutral, even. But I would have rather taken the 155 euros I spent on the stay and lit it on fire to keep my hands warm whilst sleeping in the street. Below is a picture of me waiting for my 74 year old dad to come down to let me into the main entrance, while the owner’s partner glared at me through the window and refusing to unlock the door for me.

We enjoyed the city and the Brauhaus opposite
Pros:

The location was perfect for exploring the old town, the cathedral and the riverside. It was close to the station.

Cons:

People should be made aware that there are stairs which could be difficult for some people.

Pros:

The location of the property was great, not far from the train station, right by the cathedral and very central close to shops, restaurants and bars. Beds were comfortable. When we mistakenly thought check out was 12 instead of 11 staff were very understanding - thank you!

Cons:

We would’ve preferred a double bed instead of 2 separate ones

Petit hôtel bien situé dans une rue piétonne.

Not a hotel
Cons:

We arrived after a long journey at 20.20, and the place was locked up and dark. There was a handwritten sign on the door "back in a few minutes" but no one came. There were 7 phone numbers displayed but we couldn't reach anyone. After 21.00 we received a message, hidden under payment details on the app, about keybox entry. Had we wanted an Airbnb we would have booked one, this is not a hotel and we had to find an alternative hotel late in the evening. A bad experience.
