A very comfortable stay for my daughter and I in Cologne. Our room was large and quiet. Comfy beds and pillows. Roomy bathroom and nice to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee. Nice green touch to offer a drink for no servicing. Very friendly staff. Nice touch to send up a birthday cake.

The hotel was very busy but the rooms were superbly quiet and comfortable. The only slight issue was that even with the aircon turned to minimum the room was still quite warm. But excellent value and perfect for what we needed. A good option was that in exchange for not having our room cleaned, we got two free drinks vouchers which we exchanged in the bar the next day. Brilliant!
