It is an excellent hotel for those going to a show at Lanxess Arena for short stays: next to the arena, with a bar next door serving good sandwiches. Other than that, it is an old, well-maintained hotel.

It’s nice and clean here. Not super modern, but everything works and is in good condition. Easy walking distance to the exhibition/fair. My room facing the courtyard was really quiet, so I could sleep with the window open at night without annoying noise. The breakfast buffet was really good, and the staff taking care of it were absolutely amazing 👍 Right next to the hotel, there’s a place where you can grab something to eat or have a glass of Turkish tea. Parking is at Arena P, just around the corner. I’d happily stay here again.

Best choice for Lanxess!

We highly recommend this hotel for any stay in Cologne, but especially for events at Lanxess Arena. It is just across the street, walking distance to main train station m, and many places to eat/drink within 1-2 blocks. Staff were efficient and super friendly. Rooms were very clean with enough room to move around and store our luggage. We look forward to staying here again!

The staff at the rec option desk was very welcoming and friendly. The room was an ok size for a single occupancy. Typical twinbed style as it is common in Europe. Clean room. Comfortable mattress (I prefer the harder mattresses), and shower and sink water pressure were perfect. It is also only a 10-minute walk to Koelnmesse or one subway stop.
