Hotel Tempelhof - City-Messe-Arena

Had the single room. Felt bigger than the 9 sqm, possibly due to the roof slope on one end, which in Germany mostly doesn't add into the official floor area. Top floor, view of the Kölner Dom. The room and the bathroom were very clean! Bed was spotless. The water was hot instantly. Additionally the bathroom lights were controlled by a motion sensor, a fun little extra. The windows isolate sound very well. The location is excellent, metro and tram stations, restaurants and supermarkets and the riverbanks are all within walking distance (5 minutes or less). The staff is very personable and were very helpful on several occasions, they pay attention to your habits, in my case sleeping in late, and adjust their room services accordingly. Check in and check out were no hassle at all, check out time was flexible. Had a very pleasant and uncomplicated stay!

The Internet was good, but at times a little shaky. Possibly due to my room being on the top floor. The window blinds were sufficient for me and the sun rise was on the opposite direction of the windows, but I can imagine it being too bright for some people.
