Central location, and really friendly
Pros:

It was a privilege to meet the very lovely dirk, and stay in his comfortable hotel. He was so helpful and friendly, and gave us lots of tips for places to go.
It's amazing how quiet the room was, when it is right in the centre of cologne, just 150m from the main rail station and the stunning cathedral.
The breakfast was also great.

Cons:

Loved it all

Safe, cheap and ok
Pros:

It is literally 3 minutes away from the Main train station. Very safe walking around. Dirk is a wonderful host.
The coffee pot is a saver.
I love the word “Sind-bad” in the loo. Jajaja 🫶🏻

Cons:

Well, it is not really the hotel’s flaw, since it is extremely near the Dom you can listen to the bells every time they ring. You get used to, actually.
My room was street faced so if you let the window open you will listen to the bustling and mess outside. But if you closed it it will be very quiet

Cons:

O hotel precisa ajustar as cortinas, o quarto que fiquei entrava luz à noite, inclusive do próprio letreiro do hotel, o que atrapalha um pouco na hora de pegar no sono.

Ottimo hotel in centro
Pros:

Posizione molto comoda a 200 mt dalla stazione centrale. Il duomo è ad un minuto a piedi. Alle 18 chiude la hall ma check in semplice seguendo le istruzioni con il box chiavi all’ingresso.
