Very nice place and extremely close to the train station. We’re glad we stayed in this comfy place. Made a good one night stay. Private bathroom was also welcomed

The checking in process is terrible.
Even the German guests couldn’t work it out.
Wouldn’t stay here again

It’s a staff-less hotel so there is nobody to help if anything goes wrong. Their self check in machine is meant to print out a 9 digit code that gives you access the building and your room, but it didn’t have any paper.
The room advertises tea and coffee, they gave me 2 coffee pods and 2 tea bags and didn’t restock when doing room service.
The advertised breakfast is really just pointing you towards a local Starbucks.

Convenient to cathedral and train station. Only complaints were the bed was small and not very comfortable, no space for toiletries, and curtains let in a lot of light from the street. Room was clean, modern, and quiet.

It was an extremely comfortable, well organised hotel. Loved the bunk room. Pity it didn't have a lift! :D Was a little complicated signing in but a very helpful receptionist helped. Well positioned in town.

The accommodation was great, really comfy beds, large rooms, modern bathroom.
Self Check in strictly from 3pm, but once you sort that you're all good.
Location is great, especially if you're coming from the train

Good location, bad service!
Uncomfortable bed, self-check-in with no help, especially when a problem arose, such as the system being down when we arrived for check-in, with a large crowd trying to check in and no one to help. It took us over two hours past check-in time to get in. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!

I really like the location of this hotel, it's 5 mins walk from the train station and the massive Cologne Cathedral, there are a lot of shops and restaurants near by, I never had to interact with anyone, just using my code to get inside.... highly recommend this for anyone.

It’s a great location, but the spots around the room on furniture and in the shower were too much for a property that has cleaning.

Perfect central city location, right next to the cathedral and train station. Modern room, clean, comfortable beds, kettle and small fridge, modern bathroom and WiFi. No manned reception, but very responsive via email when we had a query. 5 flights of stairs to our room, so do be aware! Would recommend. Only small problem was shower pressure/temperature was intermittent at times.

Need more clear instructions for check in, as it’s done using a terminal.
The hotel is clean and good facilities, the shower in our room was very small and a struggle to get in and out
