Comments: The Hotel is in prime location and it is easily reachable by tram, bus, walk. We visited cologne for 2008 Firework and it was quiet easy to walk back from the Rhein river beyond midnight. Rooms were neat and the service was good.

Comments: I wasn\'t planning on a hotel, I\'d been in hostels my whole trip but they were all booked in Koln that particular day but the private room was refreshing. Very clean, showers were great, close to the river. Someone did unlock my door and walk into my room while I was napping around 7pm which I thought was strange...

Comments: The cleanliness and relatively roomy rooms we had, the friendly reception staff and the breakfast made this a great hotel to stay in. Not to mention the great location. It is within 10-15 min walk from the central station, 5 min walk to restaurants by the river, an internet shop along the same street and in a quiet but safe stretch of road.

Comments: Lovely hotel, great location. Good value as a budget/mid range hotel. Comfortable beds, lovely duvets, very clean, friendly helpful staff. Breakfast is very high standard. Great hotel for visiting Christmas Markets. Only slight concern was that when we left the luggage on our leaving day they were kept in a room where the door was left open and the luggage could be seen from the street. The reception staff were right next door but it wasn't the most secure place to leave luggage. Apart from that, it was excellent.

Comments: When I booked this hotel on-line, I paid a 10% deposit, but when I went to pay my bill at the end of my stay, they had no record of this and I ended up paying full price.

Comments: This hotel was in a great location and was walking distance from the main train terminal. Beds were really comfortable, shower was great, but the sink and shower needed to be de-clogged. You didn't have to run the water long and the water had backed up. Breakfast was outstanding!

Comments: Just a short walk from the train station. The rooms were very clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent. The only downside was the smell of smoke in the hallway, but we were in Germany after all. I wouldn't let that deter you, it was a great place to stay. The best place I've stayed at through Trav.

Comments: Ideal budget hotel. Amazing breakfast. Clean room. Nice shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet. And did I say the breakfast was remarkable? Let's just say they had lox, fresh bagels, baguettes, eggs, salsa, a few choices of cereals, yogurts, a fruit, cheese, and meat platter, fresh juices, etc., etc. My only regret was having to leave at 4:30 a.m. before breakfast was served. Two thumbs! It was the nicest ho(s)tel I have stayed at in the past 13 weeks of traveling abroad in Europe.

Comments: This is a terrific little hotel, really classy, with hair dryer and fabulous breakfast buffet (shrimp, fruit, a variety of very good German cheeses and REAL bread! Not the closest to the cathedral, but on the right side of the river. Walk thru a charming, old part of town to get there.

Comments: I spent three days here and let me tell you- it was one of the best hotels i've ever been in, even though it is only a 3 star. location is fantastic- it was 5 minutes from the world Cup Fan fest and the entire city centre is within 15 minutes walking. Would recommend anyone to pay more than they would for a ostel and stay here!
