Stayed here with elderly father and friends. Good location near to river, city centre and chocolate museum. Staff very friendly and helpful.Spotlessly clean rooms with good showers although a bath would have been nice. Good size single rooms which made a pleasant change. Addition of coffee and tea making facilities would have made this perfect. Pool looked good but ran... more

We stayed two nights in early May. Martina in Reception very efficient and helpful, both before our trip when I was sending emails, and during our stay. We found all the staff to be very courteous and friendly. After a long flight, we arrived at the hotel about two hours before check in. However, we only had to wait about... more

The hotel is roughly a 7 euro taxi journey from the central train station and when we arrived I was not alarmed at the fact that that hotel did not look stunning from the outside due to having read lots of good things about it on this website. Having stayed at the hotel for two nights I was very impressed... more

The location is great - situated right along the Rhine River and adjacent to the... more

This hotel was in a great location; walking distance to stores and the cathedral. We were there during carnival celebrations thinking we would be disturbed by noise from the people celebrating, but it was really quiet. The rooms were very modern and clean. We were very pleased, will stay there again for sure. more

We had breakfast some days (wonderful selection of food and plenty) and others we went out. Cologne has plenty of places to see and eat with good quality... more

Booked this through TripAdvisor based on the reviews and agree wholeheartedly that this is a great hotel. Apparently it was refurbished for the World Cup and they did an excellent job. It's close enough to the city centre to walk and the rooms are large with excellent beds. Breakfast is very good, but unlike most European hotels is charged extra... more
