This hotel was relaxing elegant, and functional to my needs. I enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet and the man who seemed to be in charge of it when I was there was super! The front desk staff was very helpful!My superstar when I stayed was Julia Leonhardt. She was friendly,attentive, and quick to help resolve any issues.I look forward to my return. Great Staff!!

Actually a little south of the traditional Altstadt area of Cologne. You definitely need to be ready to walk if you want to hot the Dom area. Parking exists but in a separate building around the corner. Very tight and small parking spaces.

A very comfortable stay for my daughter and I in Cologne. Our room was large and quiet. Comfy beds and pillows. Roomy bathroom and nice to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee. Nice green touch to offer a drink for no servicing. Very friendly staff. Nice touch to send up a birthday cake.

A bit disappointed that there was no air conditioning, only hot air coming out, I did call reception and they said cool air only available in the summer, never heard of this before. The room was very warm when I arrived so had to open window which is extremely noisy with vehicles so not practical to do overnight. Also the window opens fully which could be dangerous.
Otherwise the room was lovely with window closed it is reasonably quiet although you do hear when neighbour is turning off lights in their room.
