"Walking distance to the Cologne Cathedral, the river, bridges especially the train station. There was a miscommunication with the 20% breakfast discount so clarify first before you dine in. If you are a light sleeper like me bring a handheld fan to support the AC, was not cold enough to cool the room. I can’t sleep with windows open. The rolling blinds is the winner, love it, total darkness."

"This was a lovely stay and met all our needs as a family of 4. Splitting the sofa bed to have the beds apart a bit would've worked a bit better for us but that's a personal thing. The main bed was really comfy! Water pressure was crap so that needs addressed however I do think they are maybe just being more cautious with water use given the heat waves! So that's ok. It's not a bad location at all. Rooms really quiet. We used the bar area and the possibility to buy a few drinks/snacks from the fridges across from the reception was great. I'd recommend the hotel to friends"
