Nice room , but a bit cramped. Bar was nice but needs more variety of normal top shelf alcohol . Breakfast was fine , scrambled eggs would be a good add.

Room without a refrigerator
The location of the hotel is amazing for me as I was there for the club next door. The room didn’t have a small refrigerator expected from a room of any hotel of this price range or category.

Fantastic location and really cool ambiance. One quip if anything, the pillows were a little to soft for my liking. Other than that, will stay here again, keep up the great work guys!

Amazing jewel in the Cologne. Staff really friendly and push on organic food is appreciated. Atmosphere very good, rooms and overall presentation is original and really well designed. Ideally placed closed to center of Cologne makes the ideal place to stay over.

Wonderful hotel and stay. Air conditioning was not working in one of the three rooms we rented but things like that happen and they did come look at it but couldn’t fix it. They apologized and everyone was nice.

Such a gorgeous place to stay! Book breakfast in advance or it's very expensive. Their in-room hygiene products are excellent and smell so good! Great place.

Great location and helpful staff. Loved the jazz theme and their green initiatives such as no housekeeping in return for a free drink at the hotel bar. Room comfortable and clean too
