I had a very warm welcome by the staff, who were very friendly. The breakfast buffet was lovely. Even though the decor is somewhat dated it is very clean. The only real downside was the room could have done with a kettle.

The staff are friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The hotel is in a residential neighbourhood which has the advantage of being quiet. It's also within easy walking distance of a small neighbourhood that is trendy with lots of cafes, restaurants.

Nothing special

Our first impression was awful as we spent 45 minutes convincing the receptionist we actually had a booking, even getting hotels.com involved. When she finally gave us our room it was the wrong one and there was no apology, just the impression we were imposing on her. In fact, all staff I encountered were rude and suspicious. The room was ok, though 2 single beds put together to make a double and very dated furniture. I wouldn't stay again.

Klein, fein und mit guter Preis-Leistung

Ein kleines aber feines Hotel in Köln-Ehrenfeld. Mit der U-Bahn (Nr. 3 und 4) ist man in 15 mins an der Messe bzw Lanxess-Arena. Somit eine preislich attraktive Alternative zu den Hotels in der Innenstadt. Die Zimmer sind zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, gleichzeitig geräumig und sauber. Es gibt eine Klimaanlage, was für den Sommer wahrlich gut war. Das Frühstück sah gut aus, war uns allerdings zu teuer (18 Euro p.P.). Es gibt einige Garagenplätze, die man für sein Auto reservieren kann. Diese kosten 25 Euro/Nacht... teuer, allerdings ist parken in den Straßen von Ehrenfeld nicht leicht und bis 21 Uhr kostenpflichtig. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und können das Hotel definitiv empfehlen 👍
