Check in was smooth and the room was surprisingly quite nice. The amenities were on the spartan side, but got the job done. I like the walk-in shower as it's quite efficient. The work desk in the room had plenty of power outlets and USB ports. Also of importance is that the bed was quite comfortable. I had dinner in the lobby bar which had a limited menu, but was surprisingly tasty and had a number of healthy options. Breakfast was served in the restaurant and I was impressed with the quality of the buffet which was highlighted by an omelette station which gladly accommodates my request for an egg white omelette...with fresh egg whites. Overall, a very pleasant stay and I would absolutely return if I'm ever back in Koln.

Hopper…read morehotels are of the popular breed of budget design hotels which have been popping up all over Germany. This one's interesting as it's located in a former monastry - perfect excuse for very basic rooms, pepped up with modern accessories - and explains the rather scary monk sitting on a bench in the entrance area. Perfect if you need a place to sleep but don't intend to spend any time in your room. TV channels are limited to terrestrial German channels, no hotel movies or pay-TV. The worst let-down is the fitness room in the basement, an utter joke - not a laughing matter if you are keen on a quick workout to start the day. I have never seen gym equipment made of wood, this felt more like a DIY party cellar in my granny's house than a hotel gym. The breakfast room looked OK but not exciting enough to prevent us from looking for a more exciting option around the corner - the hotel is excellently located in a hip neighbourhood with loads of cafes and bars.

The TV in my room didn't work and when I called reception the lady sighed and told me that is "normal". Then -in a tone of voice as if she was offering me a personal favor- she offered to come to my room and " rattle the TV set a bit" because it had a lose cable. Only she never showed up. Next, the Internet access (WiFi) was interrupted and I was asked for a new password. Again the same receptionist ( she sighed again) doubted that this was the case but was " generous " enough to offer me that I could come down to the reception and show her the problem. I asked her to come to my room instead. She said she would do so after contacting the network administrator. Only she never showed up. On my way out of the hotel I told the receptionist how unsatisfactory her service was and that I needed the Internet for work. She " remembered" that she received a mail from IT with a new password four hours ago. Did she at least apologize? No she didn't. I'll never stay in this hotel again.

But the elevators are quite small. Also the rooms are not the most comfortable. And also when you arrive, you have to wait for several hours, with your luggage! While they are cleaning your room!

Definitely a bed bug, I looked it up on the Internet. After four hours of haggling with the desk clerk with the dead bed bug present he did give us a full refund. For that I am grateful but it wasn't easy. I'm sure not every room In the hotel has bed bugs but ours definitely did and enough of them to see one making a run for it with the lights on. I would recommend that you avoid this hotel until they clean it up. I feel itchy just writing this review. Pay more if you need to or it'll be "say hello to my little friend" and you wake up covered in welts after paying to be the main course at the all-you-can-eat insect buffet. Sound like fun? We all checked out at 1am. The staff did also help us find another hotel but only after some serious negotiations.

The receptionist was not at the hotel desk but instead sitting at the hotels adjacent bar playing on her cellphone. She checked my wife, baby and I in to the hotel. The room was on the 5th floor. The elevator doesn't go to the 5th floor only the 4th, but not even that. The elevator had a metal door to close that was not working and closing properly on the 4th floor to send the elevator back down. Then parking: the hotel has a few spaces around the corner in a lot of converted shipping containers, none marked with the hotels name or logo. The receptionist gave me a key to open the blast door of one of the containers but the one she directed me to was wrong. So there I am trying each of the doors. Finally found it. Last but not least we ordered room service. I have never had a burger burnt so badly to a crisp. Ugh. Not happy with the almost €200 bill the next day for parking, one night accommodation and terrible room service. I will say the design of the lofted room with balcony was very cool, but when I sent the hotel a message to ask for a crib in the room, some warning on the elevator being out of service would've been appreciated.

The rooms are modern and well kept, very clean. The rooms are efficient, not luxurious, but did the job. The staff at the front desk was friendly and also efficient. I bought the breakfast option, and the breakfast was so-so......it had the basics: eggs to order, fruit, coffee bar, some bread and cheese, but the selection was very limited for the price which I believe was about 15E per day. There is a small bar adjacent to the restaurant. I would rather pay a bit more and be closer to some nightlife and sights.
