The room was a standard one. It was clean and the breakfast was also good, had options for vegetarians too. The bus stop was at walking distance from the hotel. Experienced one weird, we rented an umbrella for 2 euros from the hotel as it was raining and I lost it on our way back and they charged us 18euros more for not returning the umbrella. Also they were charging 3euros for storing the luggage after checkout. Most hotels do it free if charge.

Short city break

Hotel in a great location by car and also a short (10/15 minute) walk to the nearest metro station to then then explore the more central area of Cologne. The hotel breakfast was excellent and for further food/goods there is a McDonalds next door and a petrol station with a well stocked shop.

Good hotel but out of the way

Comfortable,clean room. Helpful efficient staff. Excellent breakfast.Surprisingly quiet in view of the hotel’s position (and the time of year-Carnival). Our only complaint would be re position. This hotel is a little out of the way.

Good stay bar size of the room

The hotel is very welcoming and I could not fault the staff. The lobby, bar and breakfast area is good and despite what others have said about the lack of hot food, we really liked the breakfast on offer. My kids especially enjoyed the pancake machine. However, I should have paid more heed to other reviews about the family rooms being small. We are two adults and two kids 7 and 5, and the family room was totally cramped, we could not move between or around the beds and there was next to no space for our stuff. The location is a little out of town but we had no problems using public transport and there was a McDonalds beside the hotel and a very good German restaurant around the corner.
