Reviews
Location:
in sight of the station Deutz – just perfect! Also a couple of restaurants are in the immediate vicinity. You will find the Skada very quickly and in a few minutes on the 'right' side of the Rhine.
Room & Cleanliness:
I had a quiet room to the backyard. It was really clean, the furnishing is however getting on in years. However, everything you needed cared for and had. Actually, very "charming".
What I didn't like it all that (as in all Hotels of this earth) are the shower curtains. And the rooms are actually a little noisy.
Conclusion:
Charming, small and friendly Hotel in a Top location at a fair price. If you can see the setup and a few minor blemishes, it is recommended. To the gastronomy I can't say anything, I used the Hotel for Overnight.
I paid I for a night by the way 39,00€ (about HRS, without the 5% Cologne's "tourist tax" and without Breakfast).
Negative: the dead plants in the corridors and the grumpy air have us prepared for everything: broken window latches, bed sheets with holes, strange hair on the blankets, stains on the floor, dusty glass shelves. A light switch on the wall, but no lamp on the ceiling, instead, you had to lamps, 3 wall and turn on a floor lamp and even then the light was sufficient. The Mini flat screen TV has a picture quality of an old tube TV reception during a storm.
The bathroom is very very old and dirty. Broken tiles and lime deposits everywhere.
For 51€, you should not complain, but there are nearby Hotels that are in the price is the same, but the performance is significantly better.
The small courtyard is a pure bulky waste collection.
