We have only stayed in Cologne for one night. Very glad have booked this hotel. Nice location and a christmas market is just right in front of the hotel, and we enjoy very much the festive vibes. Simply catch the Christmas market trains outside the hotel entrance made our trip so easy to travel around the city. The guest room is clean but relatively small. However I understand in this prime location I cannot expect more.
