Lovely hotel. We booked a corner room that overlooked the chocolate factory and the river next door. The hotel also has a rooftop patio! Everything was very walkable and we greatly enjoyed our experience.

The hotel was decent and most of the staff were very helpful except one day we ran out of towels and after requesting them twice and still not receiving them I went down to the lobby where a young member of staff was a bit belligerent about having towels. Apart from that , the hotel was decent. Room is small for what you pay .

Lovely hotel with secure under ground parking. Friendly helpful staff. Room was spacious with a great bed. We loved the art work wall in the bathroom. Only downside was the bar and restaurant were closed (apparently due to staff sickness). However there was a lovely open air bar a few metres away, right by the canal.

Overall, very pleased. Staff at reception claimed that I hadn’t paid for breakfast to be included. However, after I’d showed my receipt for the stay, the problem was resolved immediately.

The outside of the hotel looked scruffy. Weeds growing and windows were quite dirty. The skirting boards were all ripped off down the corridor we had to walk down to get to our room.
The staff were helpful and polite especially the very smiley lady who was always on for breakfast. Breakfast was good. A wide variety of food. Bacon, sausage and mushrooms, eggs scrambled, fried and hard boiled. Cereals, pastries, bread and rolls. Continental, meats, cheese and pate. Fruit and yogurts. Pancakes. Fruit juices, orange, apple, multivitamin (tropical) and grapefruit. Coffee machine. Decaf instant in sachets. Tea, breakfast and selection of fruit teas also.
There is quite a lot of noise as the hotel is near railways tracks and a road. Trains going by frequently are noisy as are the emergency vehicles.
Good storage space in our corner room. Beds were hard and uncomfortable especially after walking all day.
The small bar and reception areas were clean and tidy but overall I would say the hotel bedroom areas are a bit tired and in need of some renovation.

The hotel is very modern but also chic as the art branding implies. The location is great - it is not in the centre but right on the river so easy to find. The breakfast is a particular highlight including an outside terrace. I have stayed here before and will continue to do so in future

Breakfast was amazing. Large quantities of fresh fruit. Huge variety of food. Overall this was a very good hotel to stay at. The only drawback is parking. Prepare to park elsewhere and walk to the hotel.

A very unique hotel with beautiful art images. Conveniently located and app. a 25 min walk along the Rhine to the train station. A wonderful breakfast with lots of options in a tastfully designed breakfast room. Unfortunately the design of the washroom was disappointing with the sink outside the toilet/ shower area. A partial shower door caused water to spray on the floor and surrounding area unless one stood directly in the corner of the shower and handheld the hose. For those with mobility issues the tub/ shower is rather high

Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing some major work to the lobby, bar and restaurant areas along with fitting new carpets in the hallways. It’s a good hotel and we will be back but as a small hotel, work in communal areas have a big knock on impact on our enjoyment of the hotel.

Front desk staff were pleasant and helpful.
The lack of a ramp, or hotel staff to assist guests with entering the hotel was rather astonishing. I don’t remember staying in a group hotel ever before that had multiple steps to climb in order to reach the lobby.
No room service, bar in lobby open for very limited hours, and it seemed that requesting a champagne bucket with ice and wine glasses was a bit out of the ordinary.

Room - sound of a very loud and constant dripping when it rained coming from water dripping from the covered balcony above ours onto ours as well as water without the room (hard to fix, but did cause sleepless nights)
- Pillows were either really hard or extremely lumpy with all the fiber broken up - making sleep uncomfortable.
- Mattress was also extremely hard
We did not sleep soundly.

Lifts and accessibility - the lifts were out of use several times during our stay
- Stairs were hard to locate with no clear signage, we along with other guests went in search and then had to find a member of staff where they were
- we couldn't find the accessible entrance to the hotel. instead only a steep flight of stairs we had to ascend and descend. Anyone with an accessibility need, pram or heavy suitcase struggled here.

Breakfast was nice though and location of hotel good.

Upon arrival we didn't receive a friendly welcome from the lady behind the desk however the location and the cleanliness was impressive. The biggest issue that I reported yet was not dealt with was the horrendous noise coming from the drainage keeping us awake on both nights. The other issues were the lumpy pillows and the fact that room service insist on walking in the rooms when we hadn't even checked out, why don't they check if the room has checked out before doing so.. The hotel looks well but if you can't sleep at night due to the noise then what's the point in sleeping there, very frustrating that's this was reported to the hotel and Hotels.com yet nothing done.

Had a lovely stay everything was nice walkable distance to shops. Room was stuffy at times and air con took a while to cool me down as it was quite sunny weather conditions. Bed was huge was expecting a single but it was king sized so that was ok. TV had BBC and itv channels so I could even watch Match of the Day! Stay was good only minor detractors and these are extremely minor I may add were the lack of coffee in room and reception. Although when asked I was allowed to use the breakfast coffee machine which was lovely. Also when cleaners came round I was in an out all day and they only got to my room when I got back did give me some coffee though so that was a bonus. There was also so small bleachy staining to corridor carpet. This is being extremely nit picky had a lovely stay easy to check in after a stressful journey just wanted to eat in the hotel restaurant but it was not available that would have made my night a lot less challenging as my daughter was upset at having to go out for food on top of all the stresses of a first foreign visit and flight.

This is a great hotel, very convenient for visiting the Christmas markets. We enjoyed their touch of coffee and water available and some gluhwein occasionally. Only complaint was our room description- 1 bedroom suite in every other hotel we’ve stayed in has meant a separate room for sleeping and this is what we expected as we were travelling with 2 older teen boys. In fact, it was just a single room. The only difference being a sleeper couch at the end of the bed for the boys. So, all a bit crowded but we made it work for the few days of our stay. One lift out of order meant long lines for the lifts daily. Luckily we were on the first floor so used the stairs where we could. We didn’t have breakfast included so visited local bakeries to buy breakfast most days. But we did treat ourselves to breakfast one day and the food was fresh, plentiful and varied. Underground car park was useful and convenient. Would stay again.

The only advantage of this hotel is the location. But trust me, you are better off elsewhere. The hotel advertises they have parking. They don’t. They are located in proximity to the busiest parking lot that they advertise as their own. This means your chances of parking even remotely close to the hotel are literally nil. Moreover, they don’t even have a proper space to unload suitcases out of the car. Property is completely mismanaged. Staff is underpaid and spends their time on the phone or smoking. Getting help is next to impossible. Random things go missing from a room. Not valuables, just random stuff. Two tiny elevators for the entire hotel with only one functioning. A person in a wheelchair was waiting for more than 30 minutes to get downstairs. In short don’t let the convenient location and attractive price fool you. Your stay will be ruined.

We arrived at the hotel to find out that there would be no power between 12 pm and 6 pm.
As such, the hotel could not take a local tax payment that’s due on site because their credit card machines didn’t work. Our rooms, had been paid for in advance. We later went out and came back late at night and found that our key access to our rooms have been cut off Because we had yet to pay the €18 in local tax. Additionally, the staff at check-in were incredibly unfriendly and rude. The only exception was one man in the evening and Tobias at the bar. The rooms were very very average and cleanliness was not terrible but not at all convincing. Only one left worked during our entire four days stay and it took an eternity to go up and down. I would not recommend the hotel however, the proximity to town was good. They should replace everyone who works here.

Great hotel and great for wheelchairs

This hotel was amazing. The views were great from our room of the Rhine river and Cologne itself. The staff were incredible and so welcoming. The hotel was clean and looks amazing inside and out. The accessibility for wheelchairs is great. Getting to each floor is easy, in room accessibility was great and accessible shower was brilliant. There is a button on the outside of the door near the main entrance where you can press it and someone will come out and meet you and activate the lift for you. The drinks service was also great but can't comment on food as we didn't eat there.

Front checkin very efficient on arrival. However would have liked assistane with bags up steps at front of hotel. Damp smell in room on arrival. On second night returned late to find silverfish crawling on bed and in bathroom. Room was not serviced on first morning and was told this was because we had not requested it. No handwash in bathroom. Carpets in corridor leading to room and in room filthy with heavy staining. Breakfast buffet and staff in dining room very good. However my partner has dietary requirements and had omelette for breakfast on three mornings. However it was not available to order on the final day. The stay was a gift from our children and on arrival we settled our local taxes bill. When we arrived back to our room on the third evening our keycard was not working. I went to reception and obtained a replacement. However when I arrived back at the room, I was told that I immediately needed to go to reception and settle my local taxes bill of €60.00. I explained that I had discharged it on arrival. The caller said that I had to immediately go there and the manager insisted it settled immediately. When I got there the first person said I owed €60.00 for an upgrade and the manager said it was €60 per night total €240!! As I could not contact my family immediately, I had to pay or I could not access my room. The manager put his hands in the air and left me with the receptionist to pay. I paid but was very disappointed with the overall cost of over €1600.00.

The only reason I did not give this property 5 stars is because both times I have stayed there in summer, their air conditioning system is not even worth running, it does not cool down the rooms at all. It was very hot and humid making it very difficult to sleep comfortably, in fact on some days the room was hotter inside with the air conditioner going that it was outside.
Everything else was great, the location, the staff, the room and good value.

Disabled Parking Nightmare!!!

I contacted the hotel prior to our stay, to inform them I would require disabled parking, the lady was very helpful and explained that although parking is normally 25euros per day (for the public and guests), it is free for those who provide a disabled badge. Upon arrival at the hotel we presented our disabled badge, and explained we were ready to book in, the man at desk insisted we park in the car park before getting booked in, he said we would have to phone the front desk whenever we wish to enter or leave the car park. (the foyer was empty at this point). We got parked then returned to the front desk to book in, a queue of 4 groups had formed, although we attempted to get served first, as we had already been there, the staff insisted we go to the back of the queue and wait. Throughout our stay there was constant mis-communication about the parking arrangements, which meant waiting for extended periods of time to enter the car park, inadvertently blocking drivers coming and going and being told we needed to pay by members of staff who had not been updated on the hotel policy. This constant frustration really ruined what should have been a relaxed time away, especially as two of my party suffer with disabilities. I wouldn't describe this hotel as \"disabled friendly\". Upon arriving in our room I found a small silver fish bug crawling on the wall above the bed and the facia of there toilet flush button was hanging off but still functioned. Overall the room quality was fine.

Fine, but not amazing. Some staff very friendly, others less so. Originally given a double room when a twin was booked, told by staff I hadn't booked a double (when I had), though it was dealt with it was made to feel like a massive inconvenience for the member or staff. Couple or bits in the morning room not great, toilet flushing button hanging off wall, needs touching up in places.

Great facilities at the hotel, fantastic breakfast and the rooms were very clean and spacious. I was given an upgrade due to the celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary ao that was a nice touch.
