Good location from the rail station. Staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent and of great value with lots of choice. Our room 401 was clean with amenities as described on website. We heard little noise and had a good nights sleep. Overall, a great experience and would recommend and would stay again if visiting Köln.
