My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for three nights, during a trip to Köln. We had a terrific stay. We were on our guard regarding the local nightlife and therefore requested a room at the back of the hotel. The staff gave us a room at the back, on the second floor, which was perfectly quiet at night. The hotel isn't the most modern (don't go there if you just want to stay in, in front of the TV) but it breathes a cosy atmosphere. The room we stayed in was large and contained all we required. The mattress of the bed was a bit thin at the top, through which the inner springs were noticeable. But this was easily solved by requesting two additional blankets and putting these on top of the mattress, underneath the sheets. After that, we slept like babies :) The hotel is very well maintained; this is one of the first hotels we stayed in (including 4* and 5* hotels) that was clean and didn't have molded (silicon) sealants in the shower and bathroom! The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was varied. The location of the hotel is great; on walking distance from the Dom and city center and only a minute walk towards the subway. A lot of nice restaurants and boutiques in the vicinity invite you to get out of your room. If you're looking for a nice, cosy hotel that gives you value for money, try this one! We can definitely recommend it.
