The hotel is in an excellent position to get to the Cathedral and the markets. It’s situated on a very busy road full of pubs and clubs so if you land up with a room at the front, you will have to put up with a lot of noise until 4.00am or so. The rooms are quite dated with poor lighting and no tea/coffee making facilities. The bathrooms are small but well lit and recently updated.

The hotel was absolutely fine for our needs but just be aware that it is on a very busy street for bars so depending on which side you stay it can be noisier. We found the pillows to be very flat - one of us slept with 3 and the other used the spare duvet plus 1! We also had to keep the window open the whole time despite it being December because of how hot the room was and there was no aircon, so I would struggle to stay here at any other time of the year.

Cologne short break

Hotel very comfortable and renovations ongoing during stay. Bathroom door was disintegrating with the damp and wouldn’t shut properly. Some noise from the local bars - we were on the sixth floor and it didn’t bother us but would be different with small children. Great location with a private car park and walking distance from the city centre.
