A group of us students went to Cologne back in 2007 and had a lovely time. The hotel was basic but staff were friendly and eager to see that you were ok, especially with topping up coffee in the morning! :) Breakfast had a good choice. We were on the front of the hotel and the light sleepers in the group felt that it was quite noisy, i personally didnt hear anything. If i was back in the area again i would happily stay there, reasonable prices and a comfortable stay.

Very nice hotel in great location for seeing the Rhine or visit the shopping district. Great restaurant for authentic German food below restaurant and fantastic free breakfast buffet. Room was small and did not overlook Rhine like other rooms so make sure you request one. Hotel staff very friendly and willing to assist you on any requests. Convenient medium cost hotel for someone that wants to do sightseeing in Cologne

Well, the price can't be faulted but I would not have wanted to pay anymore. Reminiscent of budget student accommodation, it had a strong smell of stale cigarettes despite signs everywhere saying smoking is not allowed. Our double room consisted of two single beds pushed together, a tiny tv (not really a problem), an open wardrobe unit and a desk. The bathroom was tiny and the shower cubicle was poky and the sliding doors difficult to shut properly. The pillows were hopeless - squashy and so soft they may well as not have been used. Heating could no be controlled in the room. Breakfast was pretty good though with a large selection of hot food, breads, cheese, cold meat, cereal and yoghurt. I would look around for different accommodation before staying here again.

We stayed here for three nights as we found a good Internet price and felt that location along the Rhine close to all the major centre sights would be good. We were not disappointed, all in all this was a good choice.

The room was very clean and and had huge window with a view towards Rhine. Our room was small and the bed took a big part of it, but this was something we knew to expect. We had some problems with the safety deposit box, but one of the staff members came to help us with this immediately when asked.

The charge for Internet access was more reasonable than the sky hgh prices seen before elsewhere, so we used this option too.

The breakfast was very good. Some of the products seemed to be day specialities as they were not available every morning. Also sometimes there was not a refill if some of the more special foods ran out. Anyway, e:g. strawberries and mozzarella are much more than we would have expected :).
