Guest Ratings & Reviews
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was superb, right by the river with a stunning view. The rooms were cozy with shared toilets and some even offered a private bathroom overlooking the Rhine. The service was top-notch, helping me with everything I needed. The dining experience with fresh meats was a delightful treat. However, the facilities could have been more diverse and inclusive to make the stay even better.
The hotel had a prime location directly on the Rhine riverside, offering a charming view of Cologne's Altstadt. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but lacked a separate bed option. The service was exceptional with convenient assistance and shuttle services available. However, the dining was not included, impacting the overall value. A pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right on the river in the middle of the cafe scene. The rooms were clean and comfy, although a bit noisy from the bars when the window was open. The service was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to assist me. However, dining options were limited, and the noise from the bars could be a bit bothersome at times. Overall, a great value for the money.
