The accommodation was great, really comfy beds, large rooms, modern bathroom. Self Check in strictly from 3pm, but once you sort that you're all good. Location is great, especially if you're coming from the train

Good location
Need more clear instructions for check in, as it’s done using a terminal. The hotel is clean and good facilities, the shower in our room was very small and a struggle to get in and out

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.

4/10 Fair

the beds were horrible, the mattress kept sliding off the base and they were generally uncomfortable, the room was so small that once my mattress moved over a few inches it would block the bathroom door. there's no air conditioning, they supplied a pedastal fan which was noisy and did almost nothing, there's no airflow in the room, the only way to cool the room down was to open the door to the street which just made it incredibly noisy. we were on the 4th floor, there's no elevator, the light on the 3rd floor is broken so in the dark it's dangerous. despite booking for 2 people they gave us 1 coffee pod for the machine. there were signs in the bathroom to indicate that there was supposdly some spa aromatherapy things (bath salts?) but no sign of those, there was a guide on how to use the soundbar, but there was no sound bar. the balcony furniture consisted of a single wierd plastic rabbit shaped thing, which i guess you could sit on? the lever that connects to the plug in the sink was broken, i reported this to the property 2 hours after checking in, we never got a response the whole time, it was still broken 4 days later when i checked. this hotel is maybe one step up from a hostel if you don't like talking to anyone or having any kind of human interaction - the checkin process is fully automated via a kiosk at the front door. we moved to another hotel and had an actual relaxing stay in Cologne. i now understand why the only options for this hotel were non-refundable.

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.

Check in is a machine on the wall. Not user friendly. No lift. We were on the third floor and there is another floor above. Shower cubicle was ridiculously small. Complementary tea/ coffee/mineral water and some juice very welcome.

Fine for one night but very bright
It was somewhat difficult to check in though not a huge deal. The issue was a “two person bunk bed” was actually just a double bed where me and my friend did not plan on sleeping in the same bed. Maybe I misunderstood what bunk bed means. The other big issue is the room faced the busy Main Street which is fine and happens but there was a VERY bright light shining in with nothing close to resembling a curtain that stopped much light. It was very bright in the room. Room was very clean, great bathroom and great location central to the train station but at least for that room a better curtain is needed

Mr
The check in was a nightmare. The informing email was not clear. Lucky to have other guests help me fix out. The room was much small than the pictures on Hotels. Smell and stuffy! And the steep stairs killed me as well. My room was in another wing. The instructions hided dedicatedly !

Construction without warning. Confusing check-in.
Check in was confusing. Was not aware that it was self check-in until I arrived in the rain. VERY LOUD construction on the building outside my room beginning at 7am both mornings. Who begins that early? I was not informed there would be construction. Had I known, I would not have booked. No elevator. Stairs are steep. Not recommended for those who are not fit. Conveniently located and inexpensive.
