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.

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.

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.

Personally would not stay here again. Check in process was horrible, there were ants all over the bathroom and the railing for the top bunk was completely broken. Good things about the stay is it’s in a prime location and the beds were surprisingly comfortable.
