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
