very small rooms, average service (very little English spoken), budget hotel in need of major repairs and updating, free wifi with password (kept dropping every 2 minutes as if being turned off), great breakfast, has 3 ways to enter, quite for a light sleeper (me),

Tiny rooms, unfriendly staff, not clean, terrible service. This is quite possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I won't return. Our door locked with the key inside at 22:30, there was no one present in the "hotel" who could help us get back in!!! We had to spend the night in the corridor. What kind of hotel is... More

Just a bad hotel. Horrible, tiny rooms, not clean.. I think price wise its probably quite cheap, but because I booked last minute I paid about £80 for a single room. The hotel is close to the main station in Cologne, but shop around as you can find much better than this.

Well, the hotel is indeed outdated, but I usually don't let that deter me. My biggest complaint was that we got lost trying to find it walking from the central train station. Eventually, we ended up at the front door, and he gracious hostess was waiting for us - we were he last guests to check in, and she waited.... More

This is the second worst hotel I have stayed in on business but it wins an award because it is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in for more than one night. It is in a central location, the lady on the reception was nice enough and the breakfast was okay (if you like that sort of thing). Okay... More

If you're looking for an outdated and unhygienic hotel, with seriously unfriendly personnel, than this place is definitely for you! We discovered a serious blood stain on the bottom of our matrass. The door frame of the bathroom was broken. The lower wooden frames inside the bathroom were moldy, probably because of the unhandy shower-curtains, that eventually do nothing to... More

This hotel needs a overhaul of the rooms, hall ways. Needs serious upgrade. My room was extremely small. All they could put in was a bed. No night tables or lights. If you are a large person forget staying in this room. Literally no room. Shower had a curtains. Which are not very hygenic. The hotel advertises having a WIFI.... More

This place is a great little place hidden in the centre of the city and everything especially the shopping district is within easy walking distance. Had all the basics just right for a very cheap price, especially as I booked only 6hrs before I arrive from London by car! Room was clean quiet and comfortable - dated, but I wasn't... More

Slap-bang in the middle of town, close to largest shopping areas, great restaurants (and sightseeing), and yet quiet location in a side street. Rooms on the smallish side, but perfectly adequate and clean, breakfast good, but best of all is the personal touch by the friendly staff who seem to be more than happy to give tips as to nearby...
