We had a great experience at the hotel. We were greated by friendly staff as soon as we got there. The hotel is very clean, kid friendly and has up to date technology. There are many restaurants around the area, the Koln cathedral is about a 23 min walk from the hotel. We absolutely recommend hotel for people travesith kids.

I liked this hotel. It's a little bit far from the old town, maybe 1.5kms but still convenient. Hotel is lovely and clean and the service was great. Easy to get to by taxi or Uber. Hotel feels safe. There was a terror alert in the city on NY so being a little further away was quite comforting. Breakfast was also very good.
