Clean room

Thank you

The guy at reception was great - helped us check in early and upgrade our room at no cost. The building and room themselves are clean, but extremely dated. I would equate it to a cheap motel in America. Hotel is located in a good spot of Cologne that is very walkable. Unfortunately we did end up switching hotels within a few hours of checking in because there is no AC. The hotel cannot control the heat wave that came through Europe, but man it was so incredibly unbearable to even stand in the building, let alone sleep. Cancellation policy is no refund at all even if you are cancelling additional nights in advance unfortunately. No parking available at all like the listing says. There is a parking garage close to the cathedral that worked out well for us. About 24 euro for 24 hour parking. They do not provide any toiletries like most hotels. No shampoo or body soap (and of course no conditioner since it’s not a thing in Europe).

A charming older property located steps from the Rhine, this hotel was a grandson’s favorite. Within walking distance of the cathedral, the hotel offered the most comfortable beds of our trip. Parking is limited, but free on the street overnight. Breakfast was standard European fare served in a large, well light room. The only negative was accessibility. There is an elevator, but it does not reach the lobby nor breakfast areas.
