Beautiful!
The hotel is very beautiful and the location is absolutely the best! You go out and see the Koln Cathedral. Staff very friendly, courteous and helpful. The only thing that bothered us was that the mattress was way too hard, and the pillows not fluffy at all… which made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. Aside from that, wonderful

It is close to the train station and the busy Cathedral Cologne and there can be some sense of a lot of people - but once you step inside it's a fabulous retreat. Great service, we had a beautiful room. The breakfast is very expensive and just "okay" so go across the street to the Cafe Richard. Close to the "historical sections" and close to the water. Would stay here again for sure.
