We had a lovely stay, the room was very clean and nice, with a comfortable bed and nice shower. The staff was very lovely and friendly. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel which were both very tasty. We didn't get to use the gym or swimming pool since we were staying for so little time, but it looked really nice. I would definitely recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Selina, Köln Mar 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schöner Pool, Zimmer waren in Ordnung, sauber aber ein bisschen klein.
