Positive: Huge rooms, very airy, quiet at night. The locale was good and the neighboring main streets of Cologne can be reached within minutes by walking.
The bed was EXTREMELY nice, firm, clean, huge, and super comfortable to lie in - fell asleep instantly and was very rested
Negative impressions:
· It was impossible to find the hotel, we walked the entire street for half an hour until we accidentally found the entrance. The reception is too hidden - very difficult to find. GPS systems... weiterlesen
may have inverted numbering of the street - so no 2 is at the other end, making this hotel difficult to find. The stainless steel lettering at the wall was difficult to see. We split up and traipsed through all local businesses until we found the place.
Also, the reception desk is so high, if you are 6 feet or less, you have difficulty seeing the receptionist.
There is no breakfast and if you order it for some humongous sum, it is sth. brought to your room - you are better off going to either the supermarkets of the cafes in the next block.
As to the rooms itself:
The shower head was crusty with calcium carbonates and the water stream hurt
The shower was constructed by somebody who had no idea what they were doing. As a result, a depression had formed in the shower floor, collecting a big puddle of water that was icy cold - this never drains.
Also, there is always a spray of water landing on the wooden panelling, because the glass panel is 20 cm too short.
The metal expansion joint in the floor was bent upwards and a represented a trip danger. This must be repaired.
The floor must have been flooded in the past, all joints of the cheap plywood were swollen with water damage. A new ceramic tile flooring is recomended.
There were some holes in the flooring. See previous recommendation for ceramic tile rennovations.
There were some holes in the walls. Please plaster and/or repair.
Also, the room could do with a nice, clean, white, paint job.[verkleinern]
