stayed here over xmas 2004 for 3 nights.fabulous location,friendly staff & realy nice rooms.would definatley recommend this hotel.in the town centre but in a quiet location.
I have visited many cities over the world but this was my first time to Cologne. The thing about city hotels I feel, are that they should consist of the following points. 1) Well located. 2)Comfortable. 3)Good service and a fair price. They should not be all about glitz and glamour you are there to sightsee not stay in your room (other vaations excluded!!)
This was a 3 star hotel but deserved more. It wont get any higher due to not having a pool,sauna etc. This was in a great location situated in the Belgium corner, the nearest underground was 2 minutes walk away 'Rudlfplatz' and the upmarket shopping area of Breite Strasse the same.
The rooms in the hotel were very clean, featured CNN and were of an adequate size. The buffet had a good variety of meats,cereals and pastries. The hotel staff were very helpful and polite and their English superb, I wish I could say the same about my German.
We ate out twice at an Italian restaurant called I'LL PIATTO around the corner on Henzollernring Strasse. Top quality food (steak mmmmm) two courses each and four drinks only cost £40.00 well worth a visit.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit Cologne
