Arty rooms & great service in the heart of Cologne
Such a beautiful place to stay. The service was excellent and the staff very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and we loved the individuality of each artist designed room. I'd definitely recommend this hotel, we loved it.

best kept secret in Cologne!
A Great small boutique hotel in the heart of the city... just far enough away from/to Cologne Cathedral / HBF... Friendliest receptionists of much of my travels... early check in was no issue when room was ready... reception area is relaxed and 'arty' with nice touches like self service coffee, snacks and good magazines.. room was 'fab'.. away from direct sunlight made it cooler by day and night... the waterbed and shell surround is both dramatic but also very practical.. the room had comp water/tea and coffee, a tablet computer plus a tv with every channel any guest could need.. the Glass walled bathroom and shower was fresh, clean and had cool toiletries, towels etc.. design features of this single room include a very strong nautical theme which made it very very relaxing... check out was again smooth and prompt... Im sad i didn't have more time to stay but its location to local amenities (Babylons pool on hot days) and restaurants makes it perfect for a city break. and it really is an Art Hotel... not just in name...

A bit quirky but comfortable room - only negative was the lack of aircon on a very hot night. Would come back though, but maybe not in the summer.

My friend and I stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The room was super cute and we loved how there was a story available telling us the history of the pieces/design of the room. However, the shower/bathroom was completely visible from the bed, so make sure you room with someone you are very comfortable with if you stay here.

Each room of the hotel has a different theme. We had the street art room. It was nice and fun to stay in a non generic room.

The hotel staffs are very nice but the hotel room was in poor condition. Very tiny room, uncomfortable bed and loud neighborhood. There is no AC in the rooms and no elevator in the hotel.

2/10 Poor

The jpte; gave me a room which required climbing up 8 flights of stairs, with heavy bags. No elevator, and no strong person to assist. This problem was never advised, and I would not have made the booking if it were known. Very disappointed in Expedia for not providing this essential info. Also, totally inadequate lighting in the room, along with a clear glass separation to the bathroom which could easily be crashed into with severe consequences.

The stay was really convenient. The check in was smooth and I got all the needed information. The check out process as well, the room perfectly clean, with all cosmetics needed. It is really well connected with the different areas of the city and supermarkets. Special regards to the Polish receptionist :)

4/10 Fair

This is a great idea for a hotel; art gallery in each room. We were really excited for it. But alas, it was not meant to be. We stayed for one night, and the daytime temperature was 30degrees Celsius, and the hotel had no fans or air conditioning. They had two windows in the room to open, but there were a variety of Irish bars at the end of the street, so if the windows were open, you would hear all of that noise. But if the windows were closed, you’d over heat from the humidity. It was a lose-lose situation. The staff were friendly and inviting.

2/10 Poor

Location was good and pretty close to city center and restaurant nearby. Very disappointed by the actual hotel and room itself though. No elevators, had to carry our large luggage up a flight of stairs with no assistance offered. The front reception lady who works there during the week (not weekend, that lady was great), was very cold and frankly came off pretty rude, even with the basics, it is not like we were asking anything of her. The room itself was something else, we got the "time machine" room and it felt pretty crammed and a bit dirty. For example, the red stain on the wall right behind our headboard where we slept was gross. Not sure how no one caught that and didn't clean it off. Would not stay here again, the pictures were unfortunately pretty misleading.

Girlfriends 21st
We had a really nice stay at the hotel, the lady on the front desk was really helpful, she booked us a taxi back to the airport as we hadn’t booked one. I’d emailed the hotel prior to ask them if they’d put chocolates in the room as it was my girlfriend’s 21st birthday they did! I went to pay for them after and they told me not to worry as it was a present from them. Thank you very much to the manager. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.
