Köln hotellit lähellä Rudolfplatz

Plussat: I didn't try out the breakfast, but the dinner was pretty good (excluding the cocktail, which I'll get to in a minute). The steak was tender and juicy, definitely worth what I'd paid for, and the baked potato was really delicious. Great comfort food. Overall, a thumbs up to the "food" in general The room (Beds) were comfortable. I wish there were a thicker blanket, but I did come from a tropical-subtropical area, so it is highly likely that the Europeans find the temperature fine. I mean, it was not cold, but I'd like it warm. And because it was generally acceptable, I did not ask the staff for a thicker blanket, and it is likely that they might be able to supply them. So, overall, a good hotel with helpful staff and a generally good position. Breakfast and metro nearby with a few minutes walk. I didn't explore the area too much to be giving a good opinion on this.

Miinukset: The overall design of the shower was TERRIBLE. (I lived in a room for two, if you were wondering) It was not the hotel's fault, and to be honest, it didn't affect me a lot. But they had this useless piece of glass panel with a hinge connecting a fixed and functional glass panel that was supposed to keep the water out. And between the two panels, were this slit that water kept pouring out onto the floor. I was not TOO annoyed since it wasn't me that had to clean the floor, but I had to watch my steps to avoid soggy slippers. Okay to acceptable in a hotel, but I'd ask for a full refund from the designer if it were my place. Tried everything to stop the floor from getting wet but in vain. The cocktail. I was not much of a drinker, so I will not be going with the tastes. I first found two fruit fly like creature in the cocktail a few moments after I ordered it. I was not sure if they decided to join the party after I started eating, maybe jumped into the pool when I was digging into my steak. I asked the bartender to kindly pick them from the cocktail, which he kindly did, and I continued drinking. I was not able to finish the drink and asked to take them back to my room (No additional fruit flies seen above the ice cubes at this time), but after I emptied the drinks, I noticed three additional fruit flies (which I was sure that there isn't any in my room) lay in the bottom of the glass. I did not immediately count five fruit flies when the drink was served, so there might be this chance that the flies drowned themselves while I was not aware of it, but I think it is more likely that they were buried under the ice when the drinks were made. Kind of surprised, but just surprised.

Plussat: The good position, excellent facilities, big space and good view, comfortable pillows and bedding, friendly and very helpful staff can give many useful recommendations. Always Beautiful and clean environment in the hotel. Strong recommended. Good for family and children.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very clean rooms and a great breakfast.

Miinukset: Little space in the restaurant. Very often overcrowded.

Plussat: Quiet and comfortable & everything I ask the reception they bring immediately to my room

Miinukset: The bag place is too narrow to place the luggage & comfortably open it. Some receptionists were too rude to answer the questions about directions in the city. Few were nice only. I remember K. was very helpful

Plussat: elf restaurant for dinner

Miinukset: Way to parking is a bit difficult, should have explain details to get into parking space. But staff help us after we ran to reception.

Plussat: A nice hotel overall! The interiors were great, good breakfast included and very comfy beds! Location was also decent.

Miinukset: The aircon in both rooms didn't seem to work! We had to keep the windows open at all times as it got too hot inside.

Plussat: Modern rooms. Spacious bathrooms. Clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti esim. ostoksia ja illallispaikkoja ajatellen ja hyvät kulkuyhteydet esim. messuille. Aika hyvä huoneen valaistus!

Miinukset: Ison hotellin huonona puolena persoonaton huone, joskin siisti ja valoisa.

Plussat: Breakfast was a dream. Would always return for it. Totally worth the price. Facilities were clean and nice. We were staying on the 3rd floor. Restaurants around the hotel were fantastic, the bar inside the hotel had a good number of affordable single-malts. Staff was professional. Since ANUGA exhibition started prices were a little bit up and staff was giving me the double figure of the booking.com price over the phone.

Miinukset: Had a few issues upon check-out. Topic was the city-tax. Make sure you book trips as business-trips before hand if you want to claim it. It took me 25 minutes of negotiation with reception during check-out and I had the feeling staff was`t really up to reimburse me. Was putting a damper on my day.

Miinukset: Very rude staff, worst service!:(

Plussat: The location is perfect. The standard of the rooms is corresponding the expectations. The breakfast is really good, though simple. May be, a bit more expensive than it is in reality.

Miinukset: Not everyone in the reception is customer oriented. The way one we communicated to , sounded unfriendly, though she helped with the question. The choice of dishes in the small snack bar does not really belong to this nice hotel- shame. Taking into account that the area round the hotel is a very busy one on the weekend’s place evenings, and this is not easy to find place to eat, it would be nice to change eating place in the hotel, providing better meal.

Plussat: Food is good

Miinukset: No smoking rooms or dedicated in-door area

Plussat: Sijainti erinomainen, hotellissa mukavan väljät tilat. Hotellin ravintolan ruoka oli laadukasta ja aamiainen vastasi odotuksia. Näkymä Domille huoneesta miellyttävä.

Miinukset: Ikkunoitten äänieristys olisi voinut olla parempi.

Plussat: Amazing building, amazing idea to turn it into a hotel. Gorgeous interiors, beautiful designer furniture.

Miinukset: However, it feels like the interior was optimized for beauty but not always comfort. For example there’s no bathroom/shower doors, so not much privacy. Breakfast was ok but I would expect much better from this hotel.

Miinukset: The style and equipment of the rooms is absolutelly not adequate to 5 stars. The architect must have get a serious revenge on somebody. Absolutely not equal to the price I was charged. I normally never make any comments, but this time I cannot help myself. So disapointed ..

Plussat: The building itself is lovey, very nicely designed and decorated.

Miinukset: There are a few things that made our stay unpleasant. Firstly, the staff, one man in particular: when we arrived with our 2 suitcases plus extra bag and our dog, there was no attempt to help us with our luggage or anything like that , which is surprising for a 4 star hotel. We arrived and went to check in- we had booked a deluxe double bedroom but when we went to our room, we were surprised to see a small room that was clearly a double room, not a deluxe (we checked the photos online and it was confirmed that we had the smallest room there). We went down to ask why we didn’t have a deluxe room and we were told it was because of our dog. We had told them weeks in advance that we were coming with our whippet and there was no mention of having to be put in a smaller bedroom. The man was not very nice about it all and tried to lie a couple of time, while still trying to charge us for a deluxe when we had a double room (the price difference is about 60 euros a night). We had to chat to another member of staff, a woman, who was much more comprehensive and aware that they had messed up with the situation. She offered us free breakfast and no charge for the pet, which we accepted. This first encounter made our feelings towards the hotel not so nice and it just felt like they had tried to scam us a bit. The second thing which is not the staff’s fault but still problematic, is how badly sound proofed the hotel is. There was a beer festival just outside the square, which made it loud everywhere in the hotel, including the elevator. I understand it’s an old building so double glazing might not be possible, but it’s definitely something they should mention, specially when they know there’s going to be a live band performing all day and up to 10pm just in front of the hotel. Overall, whilst the hotel itself is really nice, out experience with the staff and service is not representative of a 4 star hotel, which is a shame.

Plussat: Attractive building. V clean. V helpful staff. Quiet location.

Miinukset: Tiny wardrobe- inadequate for one, let alone two. Shower leaked into washbasin area. Not enough towel rails. No air-con.

Plussat: Very special location, great mix of history (the convent) and modernism (the style & furniture)

Plussat: Staff was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed. They directed us to a restaurant when we arrived and made sure we got there in time to have dinner. Parking was perfect and easy. They allowed us to do a late checkout and enjoy the room more, and breakfast was great.

Plussat: The staff was very kind and the location was fantastic.

Miinukset: We were slightly disappointed by how warm the room was; and with only one small window, it was difficult to sleep. However, a small fan was provided, which helped somewhat. The room was simple but adequate. We were disappointed to not have an iron/ironing board in the room.

Plussat: Classy building with very nice service.

Miinukset: No AC

Plussat: Clean Room.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Enjoyed staff hospitality.

Plussat: It was central easy to find had parking which was essential as I was driving a 7.5tonne truck

Miinukset: The barman just disappeared whilst people were waiting to be served

Plussat: Room very clean and all accessories available. Premium class. Nice service.

Miinukset: Parking lot not included in hotel price.

Plussat: The breakfast was outstanding...Especially the choice of teas. The staff were helpful. Spacious

Miinukset: Slight distance to city centre Hotel was very hot, it’s Oct and no way to cool room as heat blasted out.

Plussat: breakfast was excellent and location

Miinukset: noise of traffic outside when sleeping at night

Plussat: Huone oli hiljainen kuten pyysin.

Miinukset: Huone oli jääkylmä kun saavuin, ulkona pakkasta ja tuuletusovi oli ollut auki ilmeisesti koko päivän. Aamupalalla todella niukasti mitään tuoretta (kasviksia, salaattia yms.).

Plussat: good location, just opposite to the green park which gives a lovely view (but not from my hotel window), and walk distance to city. Or you can take the scooter which is now very popular in Germany, just 10 mins to the old town. Nice staff and clean room as almost every hotel has in Germany. Enough parking places.

Miinukset: Bad wireless connect. We paid an over average price (pretty sure not in the high season) but got a simple equipped room on the 1st floor. Not recommended for couples who would like to have a romantic atmosphere.

Plussat: There was nothing to like about the hotel. It was no more than acceptable in general.

Miinukset: Location was not great for tourist. There are practically no restaurants nearby and when the hotel charges 23 Euros per person just for breakfast it makes for problems. Also there is no where to park other than the hotel parking which they charge 16 Euros a day.
