“This family-run hotel places you squarely in Cologne's old town, a definite plus. Renovated rooms offer modern comfort, although some found them compact, and breakfast comes complimentary. I think its central location and modernized facilities make it a practical choice for exploring the city.”

Decent Hotel, Needs Improvement

great locationgood breakfasthelpful staffmusty roompoor ventilationstreet noise
The location were GREAT. i could easily walk to main attractions. Breakfast WAS really good with a nice selection of items. The staff WAS helpful and always available at the front desk.
The room smelled a bit musty when i first got there. The bathroom lacked proper ventilation, THAT'S annoying. The noise from the street was noticeable, especially at night. I didn't sleep great.
