Zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem ruhig.
Sauberere Zimmer und Flure, aber man merkt das alter der Zimmer und Bäder doch an (zB TV mind. 10 Jahre, Duschwanne, gerade für ältere ein Problem etc), aber ruhig gelegen.
Tiefgarage vorhanden und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.

Improvements urgently necessary
One of the two elevators (both from 1988) was out of order. Apparently since 3 months. Rooms felt damp. Strange smell in the foyer.

Cologne short break
Hotel very comfortable and renovations ongoing during stay.
Bathroom door was disintegrating with the damp and wouldn’t shut properly.
Some noise from the local bars - we were on the sixth floor and it didn’t bother us but would be different with small children.
Great location with a private car park and walking distance from the city centre.
