The hotel offers great facilities, but the rooms are a bit spartan and lack some essential amenities like a bed table and more toiletries. On the bright side, all other facilities are excellent, and the bar is a wonderful place to socialize. The service is friendly and welcoming, but there is room for improvement in some areas. The location is ideal for exploring the city, being close to the old town and shopping areas. The dining options are varied and suitable for different tastes, though some seating arrangements could be more comfortable.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room at the back of the hotel was too small with limited facilities, but it was very clean with a comfortable bed. The service was a bit inconsistent, with helpful moments and some missed opportunities. The location was convenient, close to the city center but lively at night. The dining options were limited, but the price was reasonable. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The service was top-notch. The receptionist taught me some German adjectives and though the check-in procedure was a bit longer than usual, the staff's friendliness made up for it. The bar and breakfast staff were super friendly, even though some may have found them overstrained. Housekeeping and the welcome drink were nice touches.

The hotel's location was near the city center and within walking distance from the main station, making it convenient to explore Cologne. It was close to all the attractions, including the old city center and many public transport stations. Despite some minor stress at the reception during check-in, the accessibility to shopping areas, the old town, and the Latin Quarter was a big plus.

The hotel is like any other Motel ONE, with incredibly small rooms that were perfect for just needing a comfy clean bed after a long day of walking everywhere. The location is not too close to the city center, but accessible to different neighborhoods, making it really important for exploring the city.

The hotel rooms had everything I needed but were very dusty and stinking cigarette smoking, which was a downside. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and polite, especially when I had problems finding their car park. The location was nice to relax for drinks and snacks, but not too close to the city center. The dining options were nice but could be better with a bigger variety and had some value for money issues.
