Hotel Leonet
The hotel was a disaster. The only thing working properly was the breakfast guy’s smile — clearly the hotel’s entire maintenance budget went into him. Not much of choice for breakfast, better paid outside to get more options

a&o Köln Neumarkt
Reception understaffed and slow. No heating controls in room, which was cold. Other guests sometimes noisy in the corridors and adjoining rooms.
