Very nice and modern hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming offering a map and suggestions of places to go in the city which i appreciated, all incredibly good value for the money paid. Area around the hotel seems nice and quite upmarket but largely business and office oriented, not much immediately in the vicinity for tourists in terms of a shop or food but all can be found a short walk along the river front where there are lots of very nice bars and restaurants. Also only a very short 15 or so min walk to the centre, cathedral etc. Would recommend and would stay again in future. 5 stars.

Nice hotel, 10 min walk from Chocolate Museum and square. Room was very clean but way too hot and the air on was really noisy and not very good. Bed lovely and comfy, bathroom spacious with gorgeous Rituals products. Very friendly reception staff. Breakfast looked good with lots on offer but the hot food was cold… (7.30am Sunday morning). If I was to return to Cologne, I’d choose another hotel due to the aircon/heat in room.
