Hotel is very conveniently located on the River Rhine in downtown Cologne city center, just 5 min walking distance from the Oldtown. The tram connecting to the major public transport hub (Neumarkt) leaves immediately in front of the hotel (3 min to Neumarkt). Cologne Cathedral, Chocolate Museum, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Museum Ludwig, the Philharmonic Hall are all walking distance. Lanxess Arena is 5 min by tram. Cologne Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station ) is 20 min walking distance away.
The hotel is nice and the stuff is friendly. Rooms are quiet, clean, and spacious. The breakfast buffet is highly recommended. I have stayed at this hotel numerous times, and I will be happy to return.
