Staff were amazing but this hotel is a little funky. It’s hard to explain but some of the ‘fun’ design is not optimized for user experience. Having said that, great restaurant upstairs, very good breakfast too.

Good Location

Our 2-night stay was good. The breakfast & service in the restaurant were both very good, and the restaurant was very clean. Our room was clean, but the carpets in the hallways definitely could use a thorough cleaning. Our room could also need a fresh coat of paint. The restaurants in the nearby area were mostly of the fast-food variety, and not to our liking.

Cool and funky hotel

Really good hotel in a nice area. Cool vibe and an excellent rooftop bar. Breakfast was good but 29 euro seems a bit steep. Rooms cool and bed very comfortable. Would definitely go back but be warned bar was very busy Friday night and had to queue to get in.

This hotel was a highlight of our trip, it had a good amount of character to it, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and we made good use of the coworking space and sauna in-between exploring the city (it's right around the corner from a subway station and an easy walk to the cathedral).

A quirky choice for a weekend in Cologne. And although it is a hub for remote working it didn’t feel corporate. The breakfast in the restaurant was great and the monkey bar is better than most hotel bars. Lots of thoughtful touches dotted about. We appreciated the “runners corner” with local maps, fruit, water and complimentary sweatbands. Would definitely stay here again and recommend !
