    • Extremely friendly personnel! Rooms are fine and small. Good location.
    • Staff was friendly and quite helpful
    • Location was good.

    Cons -

    • It was very hot in our room.
    • I think it would be good to know more about the rooms since there are rooms that do not have privacy in the bathrooms, so if you are traveling with family, that's not convenient. Fortunately, the man in the reception helped us change our rooms. Can't remember his name but he's very friendly
    • A 5-story walk-up with all our luggage was unexpected. We didn’t have hot water in the morning for our showers.

    Good location with respect to train station and activities in the city. You can see the detail they put into the room, the decoration is nothing you buy at Ikea. It made the stay more enjoyable.

    Unfortunately, the street is quite lively. There was live music from Irish pub on Saturday until 22hr. And generally there is many people passing, expect them to be party people. And also people walking inside the building can be clearly heard. There is no lift. There is no AC.

    The design of the rooms. The bed is those type of water bed, when u lie down it does moves abit, like you are on waters. It's fine for me as am super tired.

    The location is not too near the train station, nothing much around.

    Wonderful staff, very friendly and guest orientated. The room was spotless, super clean and comfortable.

    9MagteldPosted on: 2-17-2025

    The room was very spacious and clean and nicely decorated with eye for detail.

    9AistePosted on: 2-2-2025

    Nice staff, coffee, tea and water in the room.

    Maybe little bit poor wall isolation.

    7PattarapolPosted on: 12-12-2024

    Location not so far from station, 15 minutes walks.The room design is very modern. Also provided with free water for everyday + cleaning.

    We didn't know that the toilet glass is "Clear" and can see through the bed, since we didn't see the image at all when booking. It just not our things since we are not so comfortable with it.

    The staff is very friendly, helpful and kindThe room has everything you needThe position is very good and the street is calm during the night. A perfect place to stay in Köln

    6LuongPosted on: 12-4-2024

    We like the location, the staff were nice

    The room always smelted a bit weird, even when we first came. we didn't get sunlight like the other rooms (we got a peek of them when they were empty and being cleaned).

    9AnnaPosted on: 11-26-2024

    I really like the creativity with the different names and sets for each room. The rooms were cozy and well equipped.

    6EvaPosted on: 10-17-2024

    location

    stairs and no privacy for the bathroom also the floors were not cleaned properly

    9DianaPosted on: 9-25-2024

    Wonderful little boutique hotel! Rooms are named, not numbered. Artfully decorated to the smallest detail. Comfortable bed, & a real fresh flower in a small vase of water in the bathroom, and not only a hair dryer (with attachments), but a flat iron too! The front desk staff were very nice. Highly recommend!

    The only negative was the door toThe bathroom was glass and my husband forgot it was closed and ran right into it! I safety hazard, I think. I suggested to the front desk that they put stickers (I’m sure they can find artsy ones) on the glass at eye level. An other couple checking out agreed. Also as an older builder, the did the best they could with the lift, so it’s not aligned with each floor, you might have to go up or down a few stairs, but I’ve had that in other European hotels.

    The rooms and staff are amazing!

    No aircon so it was very hot in the room. Also very noisy in the street at night with people yelling

    9KiraPosted on: 8-9-2024

    The room exceeded my expectations! I stayed in the deep sea art room and it was fabulous, I got to sleep inside of a clam shell on a super comfy water bed and was beyond myself from giddiness and excitement! The neighborhood is great, away from the touristy bit full of moderately drunk man. It has several great options for breakfast and snacks during the day. My breakfast highlight was the Hommage cafe, 10 minute walk from the hotel.

    The Irish pub is right in front of the windows of that room and it was very loud and rowdy until late at night so I had to sleep with the closed windows

    9ThijsPosted on: 7-28-2024

    The design of the room was great. Nice atmosphere. Really inviting to stay in for a bit before discovering the neighborhood. Back of the building so nice and quiet.

    Bed was good. Could be a hair better.

    Unique hotel where every room has it's style. My room was decorated in the style of a old East German room(GDR) though with modern touches. It was really comfortable & quiet. The staff also very informative, nice & friendly.

    There's a glass panel which covers half of the entry to the bathroom, it's fixed so you can't slide it completely open which could be dangerous if you are not concentrating while entering the WC.
