We were treated like family in this charming hotel on a quiet residential street. Breakfasts were excellent; our room was large and comfortable; and the location was conveniently within walking distance of the friend we were here to visit.

Nothing special

Our first impression was awful as we spent 45 minutes convincing the receptionist we actually had a booking, even getting hotels.com involved. When she finally gave us our room it was the wrong one and there was no apology, just the impression we were imposing on her. In fact, all staff I encountered were rude and suspicious. The room was ok, though 2 single beds put together to make a double and very dated furniture. I wouldn't stay again.

The hotel is situated in a cute little city in Cologne. It is situated right next to a coffee shop that opens early and has delicious coffee, gelato, sandwiches and pastries! You can also take a beautiful walk and be near grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, stores, etc. Highly recommend this place!
