Design Sleepy Cologne

All it’s fine

This hotel can only tell you if you can use there indoor parking on the day you will check-in. So you cannot reserve a parking spot before hand. This made us drive around for an hour to find a safe parking space in the neighbourhood. Also, the name of the hotel is not written on the building. The hotel is on the 2nd floor of a 45 story building. There is no one to check you in. You have to check-in at a kiosk. After entering the room, the bed was not made and there were no clean towels which means that the room was not cleaned. We had to call to the number above the check-in kiosk and had to wait 30 minutes for a maid to come clean the room. Make sure you can call free for international calls. The next morning we saw that the pillow case had make-up stains on it. So we wondered if the sheets were actually replaced. The room does have a fridge, a cooking plate and microwave/oven. We were not happy with the service. We couldn't do the things we planned for the evening because we were tired of the discomfort we experienced.

Nice property in student accommodation block

The rooms are nice and clean. Feels like a studio. I like the location being right by the grocery store (REWE) and several cafes, bakeries, and dining options. It’s right by the train station. There’s also tons of walking paths nearby. We walked all the way to the famous cathedral. The only down side is there is no one at the reception and it is self check in. My code was not working and my international calling to call the receptionist wasn’t working either. Luckily my husband's phone was working so we were able to get someone to let us in our room at 9 pm. You also have to ask every time to access the elevator to get to your room.

I saw previous few reviews for this place , not sure they stayed at the same. Without doubt i would never stay here if it was even free. The most expensive socalled "aparthotel" ive stayed at , and by far the worst!! The rooms are situated on part if floor 2 if a 1960s residential tower block. There is no staff, i contacted them by their answerphone and email ,recieved no reply in the 5days i was there. The only staff were the cleaners who were rude ,bad mannered abd did no cleaning in my room over the days i was there , neither would they help with tv that didnt work or contact the owner on my behalf . If this place was 20euros a night i wouldnt have written a review , but due to the awful staff or lack of and the exorbitant price it was 110euros per night i had to . This place needs health warning if youre planning to stay .its not as advertised its dusty in places . Everything is tatty , its dreadful .t
