Hotel Eigelstein

The staff was very polite even they dont speak any word in English. They were always availiable to asssit

The bed sheets were like bedsheet udercover ( in yellow color) - not really sheets :(

Very friendly staff. Arrived early and they were able to accommodate an early check in. Clean spacious rooms. Very good breakfast in the morning with many options. Easy and quick access to the train station as well as main shops and restaurants.

Massive construction happening next door so it was extremely noisy (jack hammering, etc.) Was not aware that you only had stairs to get to your room or even to the desk to check in and out. We had to lug up our heavy suitcases 4 flights of stairs and was told that we couldn’t take a lower level room because it was reserved for handicap although I have no idea how a handicapped person could easily access that room because of all the steps you still had to climb to get there. In the middle of the night woke up to a strong smell of cigarette smoke likely coming from another room. Note that the bathtub was very slippery and I had to be very carful to not slip and fall while showering. Should have some grips at the bottom of the tub.

The hotel is near by Koln central station, about 5 mins walk. The host can't speak English, but is very nice. There are two supermarket (PENNY/REWE) and a dm-markt around the hotel.
