Hotel Collegium Leoninum in Bonn

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel at the prices it advertises and there are much better options nearby. It is also sadly not near the "four stars" it advertises and is closer to a retirement home with some spare rooms it rents out as hotel rooms. **Especially do not book during the warm parts of the year**.

1) The rooms need some updating. The room I got was relatively clean, but it was clearly a bit worn. The TV was quite old and the washroom was in need of some TLC. I will say that my room was relatively quiet.

2) The rooms are extremely warm and they not only don't have air conditioning, they also don't have fans in each room. This is simply unacceptable for an establishment that claims to be four stars. Visitors have to call the reception to try and find you a fan on hot nights and there is no guarantee there will be one available. Hotel management needs to plan to have enough fans for each room, especially during warm days. I had to call several times to finally get a fan, but in the meantime had one of the most uncomfortable stays in a hotel room that I've ever had. I raised the above point to the hotel front desk and they said they were aware of the issue. There was no management on site.

3) The hotel service is slow. It took about 30-35 minutes for me to receive an iron and ironing board in the early morning before heading out for some work. I also found one individual working the night shift to be quite rude to another customer, I was a bit shocked by the exchange.

4) I booked the room in May and it was advertised the pool would reopen on June 1st. When I checked in mid-June, I was advised the pool was still closed. I'd not received any communication indicating the opening of the pool had been delayed. Had I known, I'd have booked elsewhere.

5) The location was probably the most positive thing about this "hotel". It's relatively convenient, and you can walk to the city centre relatively easily.

All in all, go elsewhere if you can.
