Check-In und die ganze Abwicklung ist schnell und unkompliziert.
Beim Frühstück fehlt Obst.
Anreise bei Dunkelheit und Berufsverkehr ist für Ortsfremde eine Katastrophe. Das ist nicht unbedingt dem Hotel anzulasten. Ich habe 30 Minuten gebraucht, um mein Auto loszuwerden für den Check-In und habe letztlich gut 500 m entfernt an einem P&R Parkplatz geparkt. Zwar bietet das Hotel Parkplätze im Hof an, aber was nutzt das, wenn man zum Zeitpunkt der Information, wie man dorthin kommt, sein Problem schon hat lösen müssen.
Für Ortskundige oder Bahnreisende fällt dieses Problem weg.
Matige accommodatie maar de prijs-kwaliteit verhouding is wel reëel. Wij hadden met zijn drieën een 3-persoonkamer geboekt maar hadden helaas een 3e bijzet bed (dit lijkt op de website 3 volwaardige bedden).
Ontbijt matig, weinig keuze en de ontbijtzaal is te klein als iedereen tegelijk komt ontbijten.
Parkeren achter het hotel prima. Ook late incheck was prima en vooraf goed geregeld. Vriendelijke eigenaar.
Op loopafstand genoeg restaurantjes en wat winkels, 15-20 min rijden van de Dom.
Soggiorno abitualmente in questo hotel, anche se situato a pochi km dal centro è ben servito dal trasporto pubblico. Hotel con ambienti gradevoli, camere confortevoli, personale cordiale.
Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen - es dauert 5 Minuten bis das warme Wasser kommt, Einhebelmischer, W-Lan ein bischen langsam, aber ein tolles Frühstück, großer Fernseher, tolle Lage und viel Platz und freundliches Personal. Ich komme wieder
Quaint hotel for a family stay with friendly staff
The hotel was great for our family, convenient parking to leave our car for the weekend and close to the tram to take into the city for all the Christmas markets. The hotel was basic, but clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was good. Perfect for an affordable stay outside the city center.
Leider gibt es entgegen der Hotelbeschreibung keine Klimaanlage.
Im Zimmer sehr heiß und da Zimmer zur Hauptstraße mit offenem Fenster extrem laut.
Schlechte Parksituation für Transporter.
Faire Preise bei Minibar und gutes Frühstück
Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Die Dusche eigentlich eine Badewanne. Manches schien in die Jahre gekommen. Es war aber alles sauber und das Personal war freundlich. Insgesamtxfanden wir aber das Preis-LeistungsVerhältnis nicht ganz angemessen.

Schönes Zimmer und guter Service - leider ist doch einiges an der Ausstattung (vor allem das Bad) etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Verglichen mit anderen Hotels in und um Köln hätte ich ein Zimmer bei diesem Gesamtniveau etwas 20 Prozent billiger erwartet.

Kleines und freundliches hotel
Vier Tage für die COP 23, nur 40 minuten weg, insgesamt gut.
Hotel é bem bom. Localização é que surpreendeu, muito longe do centro histórico, mas a três quarteirões dá pra pegar a linha 16 do trem, que te leva até a Catedral de Colônia. Café da manhã do hotel é razoável. Pessoal muito simpático e educado.
Alles in allem sauber, freundliches Personal, wir haben kurzfristig ein großes Zimmer bekommen, ohne Aufpreis.
Die Temperatur des Duschwassers schwankte stark, außerdem müssten die Amaturen dringend mal erneuert werden, sowie der Duschkopf.
Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig, aber es gibt nur eine Sorte Brötchen, keine Vollkornbrötchen etc.

Für einen Wochentrip super
Sehr nettes Personal, super Frühstück, Straßenbahn 15 min, Zimmer werden gerade "aufgehübscht"
We had a lovely little overnight here with our dog & two yo in tow. The setting was ideal within an easy walking distance to the river and on the strip with lots of shops, parking was easier than originally thought, recommend calling ahead for details on the lot location. Breakfast setting was beautifully laid out in the unique and historic ground floor- food was relatively standard.
Ich war aus beruflichen Gründen eine Woche in Köln. Auch der von mir mitgeführte Hund wurde sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Hotel bietet eine umliegend gute Infrastruktur, Nähe zu öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und die unmittelbare Nähe zum schönsten Teil des Rheinufers in Köln.
