I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was well-located, just a few minutes from the Cathedral and close to numerous restaurants and pubs. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure comfort. However, I found the dining options somewhat lacking and the area around the hotel a bit rundown. Overall, it was a good value for money, but improvements in the dining experience would make it even better.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which boasts a fantastic location near the Hauptbahnhof and Cologne Cathedral. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, although it got a bit hot since there was no air conditioning. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. However, the dining options left a little to be desired. Overall, it offers great value for money, but it's not without its flaws.

This hotel is in a very convenient location, just a short walk from the Cologne station and the famous Dom. While the rooms were really spacious, they did feel a bit outdated and in need of some renovation. The staff was quite friendly and helpful, which made the stay pleasant. The breakfast was decent, although I found it a bit repetitive after a few days. Overall, it’s a good budget option, but it doesn't seem to be in the best shape.
