About as central as you get in Cologne
Lovely hotel very central to Cologne, about 10m walk to train station. Room large, clean but no kettle or iron. Arrived late so had to get key from lockbox which was not easy as it was dark

This is a family owed hotel and for that reason my parents and me enjoyed our stay so much. Friendly staff, great breakfast and even a doggie that you can pet if you want. The owner is an older lady and she was the one that took care of us during breakfast. She was amazing.

Clean, super comfortable hotel with a small lift.
The hotel owner's mom (a Welsh) is very nice and generous offering us complimentary coffee upon arrival while waiting for our room. Hotel is conveniently located at city's main attractions, especially the Cologne Cathedral. All within walking distance. Room is very spacious and breakfast superb. Highly recommended. If i come again, I will choose this same hotel.

Location good
Good location few mins walk from station - family room, as expected, bathroom tiny, shower very small and would be a struggle for anyone large, sink in room as bathroom too small, lots of hot water. Quiet hotel but no sound proofing and dark curtains would be better than white as room bright as soon as sun up. But, very clean and a good base for a visit.
