Really cute accommodation with old-style decor. Facilities are good and the staff are nice. The buffet breakfast has a lot of options which is great!
Isabelle, 2-night trip

Historical Hotel: 5-star

I love the medieval vibes of the hotel, and upon research, the hotel has been in service since the 12th century. I love the location and its proximity to public transport and tourist attractions. The staff were also lovely.
Jan Kelvin, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, full of history, very close to centre. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Nice, comfy rooms. Would stay again.

Modest accommodations

Property photos look much nicer than actual hotel. Hotel felt more like a nice hostel. Located next to exotic shops and cinema. Nice weather during my stay so not having air conditioning was not too big of an issue. Restroom plumbing had a poor smell. Accommodations worked but I think it is overpriced for what you get.
Lloyd, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location but hotel is outdated

Older hotel with outdated rooms. The location and staff are great.
Goran, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unknown to us, the bed was infested with bed bugs. Completely ruined our stay in Cologne. Although the reception staff were very sympathetic, the manager/owner could not care less about our grievance.
Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have no complaints at all about the cleanliness of the hotel, the staff or the buffet breakfast. My only complaint was that the room sound proofing wasn't as good and I could hear the conversations of the people on the street at 03:20 while trying to get to sleep. Otherwise, it was a perfectly pleasant stay

4/10 Fair

Very dated and is in need of renovation.
Magnus, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Breakfast was ok. Also the cleaning. But we had to shut the Windows because of the noice. Banking on doors all the time. I know that the street was full of sexshops. It is okay for us but not when it goes into the hotel.
Jannie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value, location, service,Get what you pay for

This is a heritage hotel, offering good value, a convenient location with a helpful staff. When I had an issue with a third party booking company, they assisted me in resolving it. For those with reasonable expectations, it is an excellent choice. After reading the reviews, those that were disappointed were not very grounded in reality and expected the experience of a brand new hotel, which is unreasonable. For example, many people were complaining about the lack of an elevator ignoring the fact, it is an older building that cannot easily retrofit an elevator into. The location is central and some of the businesses nearby may not appeal to some, but this is not in the hotel’s control and they provide a safe and clean environment. I would stay here again.

6/10 Good

A full account of our stay.

Checking in in the evening the young man was overly helpful. The room did NOT look like the pictures, the carpet very dirty as was the one chair in our room. The bedding an towels nice, but we both rolled to the middle, old bed. Breakfast nice as was the morning staff. Also NO Wifi the 2 days we were there! They said…working on it?
Ruth, 2-night trip

Room was not inside the hotel and was cold and some stuff was broken.
Carolin, 1-night trip

Hotel was double booked so we had to move hotels, they said we would be refunded part of the payment, never received it!

Punaise de lit

A éviter si vous ne voulez pas vous retrouver avec des piqûres de punaise lit et en souffrir pendant 10 jours. Sans compter tous les frais que cela induit pour ne pas en emmener chez vous.

Hotel absolut unzuverlässig

Das Hotel konnte meine feste Reservierung nicht honorieren und buchte mich bei Ankunft in ein anderes, zwei Kilometer entferntes Hotel um. Absolut inakzeptabel!!!
