Feeling mislead and scammed.

Horrible experience with this hotel. Would give them 0 stars if I could. Asked if we could switch hotels (exact same hotel different part of the city) to be closer to the train station we were arriving at very late at night. They advised consideration would be given once we booked the other hotel and provided the confirmation number. We did this and hoped for a switch. The day after check out we got a message saying they would not honour the switch and we were on the hook for the bookings at both hotels. I found this very misleading and scheming on their part to get more $ out of us. Would never stay at this hotel again! Very disappointed in their conduct!

Not worth the price they charge. Also, the popcorn machine is a scam for the amount they charge. Avoid it.

Just what was needed and a great location.

Didn’t realise I had booked a hostel but the private room was very good for the time I was staying in the Cologne. The staff were excellent and kind and extremely helpful especially with sorting a fan out in the middle of the night due to the heat. Location just a 5 minute walk from Central Station is also a positive.

Great Stopover

We visited as a quick stopover enroute by train from Sweden to the UK. The hotel was easy to find and a short walk from Cologne station. We arrived just after 11.30pm and were greeted and provided our room. The room was basic, but clean, warm and functional. Only downside was no lift as we had some heavy bags, but on balance a great experience.
