I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Cologne, making it easy to explore. However, the rooms were quite small and hot, especially with no air conditioning. The service could be better, as I encountered some rude staff. Overall, it was a decent stay, but improvements in comfort and service would make it much better.

The rooms were quite small and got really hot since there was no fan or air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable at times, especially with the sun coming in. On the upside, they were very spacious for the price and location.

I had a decent stay overall. The location was super convenient, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore nearby bars and historical sites. The rooms were on the smaller side, which wasn't ideal, but they were clean and generally comfortable. The service was friendly, but it sometimes felt like staff were a bit preoccupied outside. While I enjoyed my time, the dining options could use some improvement for breakfast selections.

The hotel is located in a bustling tourist area, which is super convenient with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms are clean and offer a nice view, but they can get noisy due to the surroundings. The service had its ups and downs, with some mix-ups at check-in, but the staff was generally friendly.

I stayed at this hotel and loved the great location in the heart of the city, making it easy to walk to bars, restaurants, and attractions. The rooms were nice, but the noise from the area was quite bothersome. While the breakfast had variety, it was missing some healthier options. Overall, it's a decent choice, but I feel it doesn’t offer the best value for money given the noise and limited amenities.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to all the attractions, making it easy to explore. However, the noise from the surrounding bars was a downside, especially at night. The staff was nice but seemed indifferent when it came to providing recommendations. The room was a bit small, but it was clean and the shower had great water pressure. Overall, it's a decent choice if you want to be near the Christmas markets, but be prepared for some noise.
