This staff, especially Mohammad, went beyond the call of duty. My rental car battery died in the garage because I left my hazards on. When I told him the problem. He first looked at the car with me to see if there was a back up battery. When I couldn’t get my call to go through to roadside services, he used his personal phone; when we found out they were closed for the day, he called the rental car company, met the truck with me and made sure it started. He helped us every step of the way. He was so kind. We met 3 of the front desk staff- and each one was friendly as well. This is also a great location. We walked to so many things.

Feeling mislead and scammed.

Horrible experience with this hotel. Would give them 0 stars if I could. Asked if we could switch hotels (exact same hotel different part of the city) to be closer to the train station we were arriving at very late at night. They advised consideration would be given once we booked the other hotel and provided the confirmation number. We did this and hoped for a switch. The day after check out we got a message saying they would not honour the switch and we were on the hook for the bookings at both hotels. I found this very misleading and scheming on their part to get more $ out of us. Would never stay at this hotel again! Very disappointed in their conduct!

Just what was needed and a great location.

Didn’t realise I had booked a hostel but the private room was very good for the time I was staying in the Cologne. The staff were excellent and kind and extremely helpful especially with sorting a fan out in the middle of the night due to the heat. Location just a 5 minute walk from Central Station is also a positive.

Great Stopover

We visited as a quick stopover enroute by train from Sweden to the UK. The hotel was easy to find and a short walk from Cologne station. We arrived just after 11.30pm and were greeted and provided our room. The room was basic, but clean, warm and functional. Only downside was no lift as we had some heavy bags, but on balance a great experience.
