Nice hotel, 10 min walk from Chocolate Museum and square. Room was very clean but way too hot and the air on was really noisy and not very good. Bed lovely and comfy, bathroom spacious with gorgeous Rituals products. Very friendly reception staff. Breakfast looked good with lots on offer but the hot food was cold… (7.30am Sunday morning). If I was to return to Cologne, I’d choose another hotel due to the aircon/heat in room.

A good hotel in a good location

I was very happy with my stay in this hotel. I would happily stay here again. The only small complaint I would have is that the bed was quite soft.

Very nice stay the staff were very helpful and positive. We requested a late check out and they were positive however we left early on the last day. Wish there was room service at the hotel. It’s not exactly in the shopping areas but nice river front and shopping is a short uber drive away. Enjoyed our stay.
