This is a very nice little hotel in Köln. The hotel seems brand new on the inside. It is very clean, well decorated, quiet, comfortable, and the staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is great, many options, including fresh ones and hot options. Everything is carefully organized. I travel a lot to Cologne, and this was definitely one of the best short stays I've had there. And by far, this is the one with the friendliest staff I have ever experienced. I will stay for sure in this hotel again when coming back to Cologne, which I'll probably will. Only two things to pay attention: 1) reception does not work 24/7 (it only works until 6 p.m. although they make check-in work anytime); 2) as it is common with small hotels in Cologne, there is no elevator (something to be mindful if you have a lot of bags and/or difficulties with staircases).
