“The hotel's location, a short walk from the train station, makes it wonderfully convenient, though the self-check-in might not suit everyone, and upper floors demand a climb due to the lack of an elevator; still, the rooms are clean. If you're comfortable with a modern, keyless experience and don't mind stairs, this spot offers an affordable base in Cologne. I think this is a great option for budget travelers.”
