Amazing, incredible and attentive staff. We were there for a Euro 2024 match in Koln and we were given exact directions to and from the stadium which made everything so much easier considering how late the match ended. When we checked out, a taxi was called for us and breakfast was even opened early for us since we left before 06:00. The rooms were spacious and clean. The property itself is very well maintained. The staff take a great deal of pride in the property. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality.

I loved the way staff was helping people for the breakfast and how they also brought coffee out for the guest. In my opinion they hosts are super hosts. Very nice experience. Check in was a bit hassle because the hotel management tried to reach Expedia multiple time, but couldn't get through to let me know that check in counter closes at 9 pm
