Well positioned for the centre of Cologne, easy walking distance in a quiet side street just off main street. Our group had several rooms. Our room with twin beds was spacious, clean and well equipped including Fridge, free mini safe, and large TV. The bathroom was massive with corner shower and "electric dual flush loo" and had obviously been refurbished to a very high standard..
Being on the rear of the hotel, our room (105) had large windows looking over a busy noise. As the weather was very hot we left the windows open at night, but from 6:00 am the road noise and an irritating loose manhole cover meant the windows were closed for the final snoozes.
Our friends were happy with their rooms which varied and though not as big or as well equipped were more that adequate and the rooms on the front of the hotel are very quiet.
The hotel was run by Andreas, who was very friendly and extremely helpful. The other staff were helpful but their English not too good, but were the ones at fault we should learn German.
Breakfast was lovely with masses of different fruits, yogurts, cooked meats and cheeses, as well as boiled eggs and hot scrambled eggs and bacon/sausage plus toast, breads and cakes and toast, excellent!
The underground was 100 yards away only 1 stop from central station, but we walked everywhere
Overall fantastic value and so handy for the City centre.
