My stay at the hotel was an overall positive experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with a free mini bar, although arriving to an uncleaned room was a minor inconvenience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, even though there was only one person present during check-in and check-out. The location was excellent, just a short walk away from the cathedral and the old city center, despite some management issues. The dining experience offered a great selection of items, and the continental breakfast was satisfyingly varied. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel's location is its strongest suit, being conveniently close to the Koln HBF and the Cathedral, surrounded by shops and restaurants. While the rooms were not ready upon arrival and felt dark due to limited lighting, the housekeeping service was regular. The staff, though polite and helpful, could be more attentive, with some delays due to breaks and phone conversations. The dining options were limited, but the grilled steaks were delightful. The facilities were satisfactory with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit dirty and too hot due to the lack of air conditioning or a fan, but they had everything we needed for a one night stay with a comfortable double bed. The service was mostly excellent, with multilingual and inviting staff; however, there was an unfortunate incident where I witnessed one staff member being screamed at. The location was perfect, right at the heart of Cologne, offering easy access to tourist areas like the dome and the old city center. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a continental breakfast that included a good variety of hot and cold choices, although having meals brought to the room was a small inconvenience. The facilities were decent but could be improved. The value for money was reasonable considering the central location.

The hotel's location is absolutely superb, making it easy to get around from the train station and within walking distance of all the attractions. Although the rooms could use an entire renovation and lack charm, the central location is unbeatable. The breakfast was lovely with a great selection of items, and the service was super helpful, even coming in early morning to assist. If returning to Cologne old town, I might consider other options for the same price.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location was excellent, just a short walk away from the magnificent cathedral and the old city center. The rooms were spacious and quiet, providing a view towards the Dom spires, but the lack of overhead lighting made the room feel a bit dark at night. The odd step-up shower was a safety concern, though. The staff, while friendly and helpful overall, had a troubling incident of someone screaming at them during my stay. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection, perfect for setting up a day of exploring. However, the dining experience was marred by some staff members appearing miserable. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory, but smoking inside was a drawback.

The hotel offers spacious and quiet rooms with a view of the cathedral but lacks a welcoming atmosphere, having a lingering smoke smell despite being designated as non-smoking.
