Efficient hotel in the center -but not quite- of Cologne. You may walk to main city landmarks. Find restaurants idem. The Rhine pretty much next door. Ample rooms, comfy beds. Helpful and accommodating staff. Very nice breakfast.

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
