All good

Premier Inn Köln City Mediapark
Breakfast was good for the type of hotel and price. Staff friendly enough, except for the awkward guy at the reception desk during breakfast... He spoke fine with me, but perhaps not too friendly to women. Annoying bit was with the elevators - one was out of service. We have 2 toddlers with 2 strollers ...
