Good location
Room was clean, bed was comfortable, no view whatsoever. Location close to Köln Cathedral, restaurants, and shopping. Older budget hotel was good for a night in Köln.

I spent very little time in the hotel. I basically only slept in it as was otherwise busy with work commitments in the city. The room was okay. A little dated and tired, a little grubby here and there but not dirty. Overall it was ideal for me to get my head down and expect nothing more.
The room could do with a safe to secure valuables.
Location is excellent though, 30 second walk to the cathedral square.
Breakfast didn’t start until 8am, which was a shame as I had to leave the hotel prior to this both mornings.

I wanted to stay in the centre of the city and despite a high number of tourists around I found it surprisingly quiet. With well fitted windows the noise was easily kept at bay over night.

Old hotel near cathedral and railway station
An old hotel very near the cathedral and railway station. In a corner, very easy to miss and pass. Elevator not working to/from floor 3, took it to floor 4 and walked down. Dated interior. Bath tub clogged. EU migrants gather and sleep outdoors across the street but it was surprisingly quiet at night when we had to keep the window open due to heat wave. Cathedral bells ring 7 o’clock in the morning. Our room was in the far end of the corridor and WiFi was working only by the entry door, outside the bathroom. No fridge but cold drinks sold at the reception for reasonable price. 2 basic Asian restaurants at Komödienstrasse with great food at low cost.

Overall, not a terrible place to stay for a few nights. It's a bit noisy outside with the cathedral bells in the mornings and people walking around at night, but the location is super convenient since it is right next to the train station and the Cologne Cathedral. Rooms were pretty spacious and clean.

Great location, 3 blocks away from Koln Hauptbahnhof and Cathedral. It’s an old hotel and it’s not renovated, however bed and bath were clean, at least for me cleanliness and location is all that matter in a hotel where you are only sleeping and showering.

I honestly don't understand why the place doesn't have a better rating. The interior is kind of wierd, like a mix of different styles. But that's the only thing that can be noticed. The room and the bathroom are very big and clean. Amazing friendly and helpful stuff. Great location and amenities. Great water pressure. Comfortable bathroom with the space for all your things. The only thing that can be an issue is fridge. There is no one. But I want take any points for that because overall I was very satisfied.

Property was in an excellent location, and in walking distance to most of the sights and transport facilities. I had booked to see a concert at the WDR studios, which was right next door. The room was clean and quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

Adequate for a very short stay
Very dated and carpet was dirty. They supply slippers for your feet and they were much needed! The balcony flooded in the 2 nights we stayed there due to the rainy weather. Only one mug in the kitchen and not much else to eat off.. a few plates. One pan. Water tastes disgusting out of the tap but they had bottled water to use. Wasn’t sure if this was free or not. They need to make that clear. Not a great stay, but place was very spacious and was adequate for 2 nights. We did have the maid knocking on our door at 11:20 on the 2nd day asking us to leave because she needs to clean and check out was at 11:00. We told her we were booked in for 2 days and she just huffed at me and walked away. Very bad attitude. The receptionists were lovely though and apologised for the maids behaviour after I commented on what had happened that morning.
