Renovierungsbedürftig

Das Zimmer war ausreichend für eine Person, es gab sogar ein kleines Sofa. Allerdings war mein Zimmer ziemlich abgewohnt. Die Tür zum Bad war "ausgefranst", in der Dusche war Schimmel, am Nachtschrank das Furnier abgeplatzt... Ich hatte ein einziges Glas und das war zum Zähneputzen. Ja, ich hätte alles an der Rezeption bekommen, ich will aber nicht wegen allem fragen müssen. Das Hotel hat definitiv keine 4 Sterne verdient!

Ok

The location is good (near metro and Gloria) but there’s an awful smell in reception (toilets, maybe). This was really annoying for me as check-in took ages - 2 guys behind the desk taking ages to check-in the party ahead of me. Shower was a bit mad and no deadlock on the door, so not sure I’d go back.

Zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem ruhig.

Sauberere Zimmer und Flure, aber man merkt das alter der Zimmer und Bäder doch an (zB TV mind. 10 Jahre, Duschwanne, gerade für ältere ein Problem etc), aber ruhig gelegen. Tiefgarage vorhanden und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.

Improvements urgently necessary

One of the two elevators (both from 1988) was out of order. Apparently since 3 months. Rooms felt damp. Strange smell in the foyer.

Cologne short break

Hotel very comfortable and renovations ongoing during stay. Bathroom door was disintegrating with the damp and wouldn’t shut properly. Some noise from the local bars - we were on the sixth floor and it didn’t bother us but would be different with small children. Great location with a private car park and walking distance from the city centre.
