Hotel Ilbertz Garni in Koln

We stayed in Cologne for 2 nights, and we needed a room for three. This hotel offered us two separate rooms, which was great. Both rooms had fridges, but neither one of them worked, we brought it to the attention to the receptionist at the front desk, however, it was about 7:50 pm when we discussed it with them and they were leaving for the night…. There is no one on duty between 8 pm and 6 am. Since we were there for just a couple of days, it did not warrant the trouble of getting the fridges fixed… The rooms were rather small, but a single was a corner room, so it had a large shower with a window, with enough space inside the room to move about. In the double, the bed was taking most of the space and besides having difficulty to store the suitcases, moving around was difficult. Moreover, in the double the shower was a corner deal, so small, that we kept hitting ourselves on the plumbing (the water regulator) when washing, there was barely any room to move in it. A huge plus was the AC in the room, to keep the temperature down; with the heat wave across Europe, it was a saving grace. The location is really good, with the tram line right across the little bridge, about 2 minute walk, we could get into town very quickly and easily. The neighborhood was quiet, so the sleep was restful. The mattresses and bedding were comfortable. There were sufficient number of outlets in the room to charge our devices. Wi-Fi was good. The rooms were clean. Overall, a good stay, but not spectacular.
