The room was surface clean but had quite a bit of staining on the walls, curtains and carpet. I also did not like how the smoking section is right outside the front door so anytime you are leaving you have to walk through a smoke cloud. Other than that the staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the breakfast.

Short city break

Hotel in a great location by car and also a short (10/15 minute) walk to the nearest metro station to then then explore the more central area of Cologne. The hotel breakfast was excellent and for further food/goods there is a McDonalds next door and a petrol station with a well stocked shop.

Good hotel but out of the way

Comfortable,clean room. Helpful efficient staff. Excellent breakfast.Surprisingly quiet in view of the hotel’s position (and the time of year-Carnival). Our only complaint would be re position. This hotel is a little out of the way.
