Very Good

The staf were very friendly. The location of the hotel was perfect for the christmas markets and was near many bars.
The room was a perfect size with great amenities.
We loved staying at this hotel in November for the Christmas markets! The rooms were very cool looking, on the smaller side but nice and cozy! We also loved the location. Right on the water and about 4 markets were within 10 minutes of walking. They also had free coffee and pastries in the morning as well which was a bonus to our stay. Highly recommend!!

Staff really helpful, great location, couldnt fault anything
This hotel was awesome and convenient for visiting the Christmas markets there. Many restaurants and tons of sites to see. It was a bit difficult to find parking due to the time of year, so be prepared if you go during the Christmas season. Overall just great!
There are nearby bars ranging from jazz to techno and have multiple dinner options in the area. Parking is accessible and at a convenient walking distance.

The location is amazing! You are right next to the heart of Cologne.
We had a great time at this hotel. The view was amazing and the staff were pleasant and always friendly. We enjoyed these facilities and the balcony/window we had was lovely. We loved the breakfast that was complimentary in the morning and we loved the ability to connect our phone to the TV to watch Netflix etc. The location was amazing and the food & drink in the immediate area was lovely. We will be back for sure!
The room I was in was clean and warm and accommodating. I had a view of the Rhine, which was beautiful. It was located in an ideal spot and I had easy access to all of the Christmas Markets. Lots of good music, eating and drinking places.
Although we were surprised by people lining up to check-in for the November festival, the hotel was quiet, very clean & the room was nicely provisioned with kettle, fridge, coffee maker & safe.
The hotel location was perfect. 10 min from the Cathedral and shops and restaurants downstairs. My only complaint was getting to our room was a little bit difficult with our luggage’s with the steep stairs.
Lovely hotel right on the river with lots of restaurants within short walking distance. The rooms are small but very nice and the bed was comfy. Also short walk to the Cathedral.
The room is quite small, which may be due to the hotel being in an older area. The advertisement for lift accessibility is only partly accurate, as my room could not be fully accessed by lift and required using stairs, which is a major inconvenience when carrying large luggage. However, the staff were very friendly, and the hotel is located close to the Old Town.
The hotel looks lovely and is clean. However the plumbing had some situation during our 3 night stay. We kept the windows open overnight to not get overwhelmed by the sewer gas from the bathroom which was awful however there was a bar that is open until 3 am on Friday night and Saturday nights which was very loud, there was a fight Friday and police called saturday.Had there been no plumbing situation, this would have been a great stay because it was close to many sights to see and we could of kept the windows closed.
Very nice hotel with super nice staff, great location and very clean and welcoming room.

Beds were ver uncomfortable. Close to cathedral and shops. Shower drain didn’t work enough so water just poured out from under shower and flooded bathroom and soaked half the carpet in the room. Cute place and updated but wouldn’t stay again

Disliked: Room comfort
Rooms are very small, beds are situated so that one person has to climb over the other to get out of bed, not ideal in the middle of the night. We were travelling with family and our daughters bathroom was so tiny that her husband had to sit diagonally on the toilet.
On the plus side, very clean, fridge in room which is always handy and hotel is situated along the river and within easy walking distance of most attractions.
