I love the location and its proximity to public transport and tourist attractions. The staff were also lovely. ##### Jan Kelvin Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely hotel, full of history, very close to centre.

Was quirky, dark, but definitely filled with character and atmosphere look forward to staying there again next conference in Cologne ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine 23 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Basic room but very comfy and central, close to all amenities and surrounded by restaurants ##### Elaine Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was able to site see easily. ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lloyd 25 Jun 2025 #### Modest accommodations Property photos look much nicer than actual hotel. Hotel felt more like a nice hostel. Located next to exotic shops and cinema. Nice weather during my stay so not having air conditioning was not too big of an issue. Restroom plumbing had a poor smell. Accommodations worked but I think it is overpriced for what you get. ##### Lloyd Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Goran 2 Dec 2022 Liked: Staff & service #### Great location but hotel is outdated Older hotel with outdated rooms. The location and staff are great. ##### Goran Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 7 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unknown to us, the bed was infested with bed bugs. Completely ruined our stay in Cologne. Although the reception staff were very sympathetic, the manager/owner could not care less about our grievance. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I have no complaints at all about the cleanliness of the hotel, the staff or the buffet breakfast. My only complaint was that the room sound proofing wasn't as good and I could hear the conversations of the people on the street at 03:20 while trying to get to sleep. Otherwise, it was a perfectly pleasant stay ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Glyn 20 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff always welcome you checking in / out order taxis 🚕 on request arrival within less than 5 minutes ##### Glyn Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Magnus 11 May 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Very dated and is in need of renovation. ##### Magnus Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jannie 22 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast was ok. Also the cleaning. But we had to shut the Windows because of the noice. Banking on doors all the time. I know that the street was full of sexshops. It is okay for us but not when it goes into the hotel. ##### Jannie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value, location, service,Get what you pay for This is a heritage hotel, offering good value, a convenient location with a helpful staff. When I had an issue with a third party booking company, they assisted me in resolving it. For those with reasonable expectations, it is an excellent choice. After reading the reviews, those that were disappointed were not very grounded in reality and expected the experience of a brand new hotel, which is unreasonable. For example, many people were complaining about the lack of an elevator ignoring the fact, it is an older building that cannot easily retrofit an elevator into. The location is central and some of the businesses nearby may not appeal to some, but this is not in the hotel’s control and they provide a safe and clean environment. I would stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph 11 May 2024 Liked: Amenities Very loud sometimes bathroom has boards instead of a celing ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruth 24 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A full account of our stay. Checking in in the evening the young man was overly helpful. The room did NOT look like the pictures, the carpet very dirty as was the one chair in our room. The bedding an towels nice, but we both rolled to the middle, old bed. Breakfast nice as was the morning staff. Also NO Wifi the 2 days we were there! They said…working on it? ##### Ruth Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carolin 14 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was not inside the hotel and was cold and some stuff was broken. ##### Carolin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 28 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel was double booked so we had to move hotels, they said we would be refunded part of the payment, never received it! ##### David Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Solange 25 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was very sweet and welcoming. Very positive attitude despite the people checking in, in front of us being very difficult. No letting it out on others just very patient and friendly and professional. Wish I could have gotten her name to give the best word on her. Carpet is a little worn as well as some smudges on the walls here and there but you could tell it was from natural wear and tear. Otherwise everything was impeccably clean and the breakfast was very neat and filling. Would gladly stay here again. It was super convenient and walking distance from public transportation and cathedral was a 15 minute walk and you could stroll through the shopping strip or the old square on the way. ##### Solange Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Britta 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Zimmer war zwar klein,aber für eine Zwischeübernachtung ok. ##### Britta Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelika 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast was very nice! ##### Angelika Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Valeria 5 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cercana del centro El día anterior de mi checkin no me hicieron limpieza del cuarto El desayuno con muy pocas opciones ##### Valeria Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ingo 3 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schlechteste Unterkunft unseres Lebens: Kanalrohre undicht, daher Toilettenabwässer auf dem Badezimmerboden, Beleuchtung defekt, kein WLAN, Fenster aus dem Rahmen gefallen, Vorhänge heruntergerissen, Duschabfluß voller Haare, Teppich großflächig verfärbt, Lampenschirme verdreckt, schlechter Allgemeinzustand. Wir mußten 2 Tage in Zimmer #23 aushalten, da niemand an der Rezeption verfügbar war. Danach gab es ein neues (besseres) Zimmer. Unsere schriftlichen Beschwerden werden vom Management bis heute ignoriert, inzwischen wurde der Fall bei Expedia eskaliert. Erstattung: Fehlanzeige. Nie wieder.
