The best thing is its location close to the station and Dom cathedral. It has a small entry, and easy to miss. It's typical of smaller German hotels, with lomited space. There is a narrow set of stairs to a lift, so not a place for people with mobility issues.
My room was comforatable enough, and clean, but old fashioned and a bit dark. The furniturewas interesting; old but attarctive.
My room overlooked a busy street, with an excellent bar/restaurant opposite, however I was not troubled by noise. No aircon.
There is a small breakfast room, with the usual food on offer. Average standard.
It is expensive for what it is, so not partcularly good value.

Firstly... this is a review of a specific room in this hotel: Room 1.

I know for a fact that other rooms are nicer... because the manager accidentally showed us to the suite on the top floor (which looked delightful...) when we arrived... before realising his mistake, 10 minutes later, and taking us down to the correct room. D'oh..!!

Room 1, then... is... just grim, really. If you're familiar with UK chain hotels, we're looking at a 'quite a long way sub-Travelodge' level of grimness... not actually dirty (and, in fairness, the room was well house-kept), but apparently untouched since c.1983 and with all the charm of week-dead roadkill.

So... briefly... dead telly (no signal at all) attached to a USB-powered aerial booster shoved out on the window-ledge, horrible cracked polystyrene ceiling tiles, no ventilation in the windowless bathroom (which smelt pretty grim most of the time), peeling wall coverings, cracked bathroom tiles, horrible woodchip wallpaper, stunningly uncomfortable beds (two single beds, even though we'd requested a double room... so much for a romantic break in Cologne...) and utterly joyless decor. I have honestly stayed in more stylishly rendered squats.

And as for the rest of the hotel... well, the Reception closes at 6pm (after which, the staff seemingly vacate the premises... which just doesn't seem very safe or secure to me...), the breakfast was patchy (some items not replaced for latecomers, and dicey quality in any case... we stopped bothering after day 2), the lift only went to the half-landings between floors (so no additional accessibility, there...), and the location - while central - is appallingly noisy for a hotel with no aircon (so... windows open all night and not a chance of deep, restful sleep).

To their credit, the staff were pleasant... but we paid in advance and stayed for a week, costing me about a month's disposable income, and I'd have rather just stayed at home.

One, sadly, to avoid then.

Room tip: Do not stay in Room 1... unless you are either a masochist, or deaf.

I stayed here out of sentiment. I used to live in an apartment opposite above the Brauhaus when I commuted to Germany for 8 years. That was a while ago and I had forgotten that 3 star accommodation here can be ...........well basic. The location is good, OK you can see the top of the cathedral and its well situated for the Alt Stadt and main station etc. But that's about it. Room I had is functional but lacking any luxury. Small flat screen TV I could not get to work. Shower declined to provide hot water in the afternoon. Breakfast was OK, but again nothing to get too excited about. The owners / managers must be the only people in Cologne to really speak no English, everyone here does, even taxi drivers and shop assistants ! I don't mind 'basic' for a basic price but for a few pounds more you can stay in one of the nice hotels in the city.

The hotel is conveniently located and just a short walk from the train station and many of the bars and tap houses. Rooms need updating and really could not use shower in my room. Friendly staff and breakfast was included. Located across the street from Sion.

It's in a very central location- great for the Christmas Markets, however, it was so noisy due to the party season. I suspect it's quieter out of party season.
The bed was comfortable but the couch bed in the family suite was extremely uncomfortable. The door handle on the bathroom was almost hanging off and the curtains didn't fit the windows so we had light streaming in all night. I asked for another room but they were fully booked and so they put an extra mattress cover on the couch bed. The hosts were friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible but I wouldn't rush to stay here again.

Room tip: Opt for a room away from the street noise.
