Stayed here over New Year. The hotel is towards the edge of Cologne, very close to the chocolate museum, but walkable into the centre. Thought we had booked breakfast, but obviously hadn't; was given the option to purchase but at 25euros pp we decided against it! They do have a self service area with snacks and drinks which is convenient (although we used the garage shop next door instead as cheaper). The room was as expected with a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The bed was very comfy and the curtains kept the light out well. We were checking out on NY Day and so check out was delayed until 1pm which was a nice touch.

Really decent hotel, had absolutely no issues here and it's right next to the chocolate museum. Little walk to the cathedral/main restaurant area. If you have the window open you can hear road traffic, but very soundproofed with the windows closed and generally comfortable.

First time in Köln

The hotel was amazing from the start felt so welcome and comfortable when speaking to the staff, the hotel room was beautiful spacious and so clean, the hotel explain if you put on the door you do not want your room clean the hotel give you a coupon for a free drink at the bar which I think is lovely.
