Minimal, But Updated and Clean Property
The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The rooms were updated and well-appointed. There is no lift so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Shared bathrooms were clean and we generally didn't have any problems having access to them (did have to go to a bathroom on a different floor once or twice). We would stay again.

A quaint old-fashioned hotel in a quiet back street very close to Koln Central Station, cathedral, and the old town. Breakfast buffet very plentiful, with mature staff making the stay pleasant.

Only 6 minutes walking distance from Cologne Central station, super comfortable bed (best nights' sleep I've had), good shower pressure, all in all would highly recommended.
Would have been good to have kettle and tea making facilities in the room but there was a hot water dispenser in the reception (which I didn't use).

Had a great stay, excellent value for money. It’s simple but very clean and well cared for. My room at the back was quiet and the bed is excellent. Basically around the corner of Köln Hauptbahnhof and the cathedral Dom, so both practical and attractive for excursions.
Not a very lively neighboorhood but that’s easily found nearby and provides a quiet rest. Will be happy to return!

The hotel was very nice inside, and the staff was helpful and kind. There's no elevator, so be prepared to carry your bags up some stairs. The street outside got a little loud in the morning, but was not bad overnight. Convenient location right near the train station!

Small room with no toilet nor shower in the room
I paid more than 100 €/night for a single room. There was no shower nor toilet in the room ! Way overpriced, but this was due to an exhibition taking place in Cologne. The positive point is that the persons at the reception are very friendly and ready to help !

Pricy for what you get
Watch out, you must contact the hotel to reserve a parking spot.. they only have 5 free spots. It says free parking. Most rooms has shared bathrooms, didn’t see that either when I booked. Third floor, no elevator. Small room and small tv. Very pricy for what you get.

The hotel is in a handy location.
There's on-street parking about an 8 minute walk away for €5 per day (if you're unable to reserve a free hotel spot, Clever Str is an almost straight walk to the hotel, only turning onto the hotel street). Central station and the cathedral are only a few minutes away also.
Everything was clean, the breakfast was a decent, continental style selection (and a pain au chocolate for later) and the staff are helpful and can keep your room key behind the desk while you are out.
The biggest grumble was having a shared bathroom - 1 or 2 per floor. It wasn't a huge deal, but if someone is using the toilet or showering, you have to go to other floors.
But as a stop off and resting point, it was great. We were there to see the city, didn't need the hotel to have anything too special.
