    The spa services could not accept credit cards from the U.S. so I had to pull cash from an ATM which meant I had two fees, their bank and my bank plus a less than desirable exchange rate compared to my credit card provider. Also, no one refreshed the complimentary coffee and tea packets after what was initially provided and I was staying nine days.

    Super easy access to the train station and Kohn Messe for the trade fair. Good markets and restaurants nearby.

    A dream "hotel"
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Comfort 1-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Nothing could be better - it was over the top as it was. I was just about to book a 9 square meter room at another hotel for 10 euro less but then just before hitting accept button, I saw this place. A full apartment for only 10 euro more? Something must be wrong. Well....... what Booking dot com doesn't tell you is that this "hotel" is actually a senior center for old rich Germans. My husband is in a nursing home so I wasn't exactly shocked. The people living here aren't exactly ill, just old and obviously with money. What I am telling here does not exactly fall under the "What didn't you like" catagory. I am just giving you a heads up. I did notice other smart young traveler had also booked a "room" here. This place was an amazing deal.

    The place was huge - both the room and the "hotel". It was a 1 bedroom apartment, full kitchen with everything you need from toaster to corkscrew to pots and pans - everything. Big bathroom, Big living room, Big bedroom. One wall from floor to ceiling, end to end , the length of the room was glass window. There was a balcony. The "hotel" had 2 restaurants and 2 coffee shops. One coffeeshop was in connection with the amazing pool, sauna and jacuzzi and full large workout room with very shiny exercise equipment. You walk through a garden before you arrive at the front desk. There's a little fountain in the garden. The 2 restaurants have french doors that open to the garden. It was all just way more than I expected. Just a few steps from train station and the cathedral. I was visiting for the gay pride parade. The gay bars and parade were about a 15 minute walk away but a wonderful walk. There are literally hundreds of places to eat/drink near by. I ate in town but had a cocktail in the hotel restaurant. I don't normally go for a swim but I did at this place. It was amazing. Oh, and there was a full gym. The guy at the exercise center invited me to join in the water aerobics class. I would have but didn't have the time. And all of that was without an extra charge. I fell in love with this place. It was sooooo spacious and sooooo clean and the front desk were amazingly friendly and helpful. I was just amazed by how wonderful this place is - so much so, that I am going back just to stay at the hotel.

    We had no complaints at all

    These apartments are a 4 minutes walk from the train station. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. The apartment and all areas are spotlessly clean. The staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself is very spacious and has everything you need. The kitchen has a fridge, oven and hob. There is only two of everything but as there was only two of us that wasn’t a problem. The beds were very comfy and there was plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. All though there was no air con and it was 36 degrees we kept the curtains closed while we were out which kept the apartment nice and cool. It was lovely sitting on the balcony on a night looking at the cathedral spires light up. We didn’t visit the spa or the gym but we looked in and it was very nice.

    A microwave and a couple more pans and utensils in the kitchen would have been great but wasn't really an issue (there was a frying pan and a sauce pan).

    Really impressed with our 4 night stay here. The location was perfect, being a few minutes walk to the train station and the Dom, many restaurants , bars and kiosks, as well as public transport stops and a taxi rank. The 24 hour reception was very good, with the staff speaking English. We didn't try the hotel restaurant, cafe or fitness gym area but they all looked great. The twin bedroom apartment (zip link bed) was immaculately clean, large and airy. With a balcony, dining area, lounge area, wet room shower and kitchenette. The kitchen had a full size fridge with freezer compartment, a small oven, 4 ring hob, toaster and kettle. The WiFi was great, with no issues streaming video (to the TV through a phone with a HDMI cable) with TV's in both the lounge and bedroom. Overall, a quiet aparthotel in a great location. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

    There's little to say about what we didn't like. The kitchen was a bit small, no coffee machine, but then the staff went and found one for me.

    The appartment was very central, and accessed through a beautiful courtyard with fountains. The staff at reception were helpful. There were even laundry facilities on site.

    Maybe a few extra pieces of cutlery/crockery/glasses would have been nice in the kitchen, but I'm sure they would have been provided if we'd asked for more

    Very spacious apartment, clean and comfortable, fast wifi and very central location. Reception staff were incredibly helpful both before and throughout our stay. We stayed in early July when it was extremely hot, the staff alerted us that there wasn't any air conditioning and made sure to offer fans for our room. There was major building work opposite us which started early in the mornings but we were lucky and it wasn't too noisy even with the windows open. We would definitely book here again if we came back to Cologne
