Adina Apartment Hotel Cologne
Lovely big room clean and tidy. Close to a train station and 20 min walk over the bridge to the cathedral. Staff seemed friendly. Only inconvenience was having to queue to pay for drinks in the lobby when only one person on desk and large number of people waiting to check in.
