The bare essentials
We were staying near friends in the same compound so it was very convenient. Everything is automated and quite self-explanatory. We had a corner room so had cross ventilation, other wise there was no air conditioning. The hotel is sustainable therefore no amenities of any kind are offered but there is a kiosk on the small street outside

Easy and seamless check in. Quiet neighborhood not too far from shopping and restaurants.
Kiosk in hotel offering cold drinks which was very convenient. Rooftop terraces and an indoor lounge area which were great for unwinding or drinking a beer at the end of the day.
Laundry and shared kitchen were very nice and a life lifesaver for longer term travel.
The room was clean and made for a great stop for a few days, safe, secure, and a good location a little out from the city center.

A day in Köln
I requested a king size bed but instead I got two twin size bed next to each other. It just makes for uncomfortable sleep.
Shower floated due to clog on the drainage tube. I had to remove it myself in order to get showered.
With all of that being said, the apt is nice & modern.

Flott standard og beliggenhet og god veiledning ifb ned innsjekking, siden jeg ikke fikk koden på forhånd. Hotels.com hadde ikke fått den fra Expedia, så jeg trengte manuell hjelp til innsjekking. Siden gikk alt fint via appen.

Technische Probleme beim Check In wurden sofort telefonisch behoben, Servicepersonal ist erreichbar. Die Matratzen waren super, aber das Zimmer war sehr staubig, der Teppich schmuddelig.

Kontaktloser Check-In hat nicht sofort funktioniert, das lag aber vermutlich am Betreiberwechsel zwischen Buchung und Aufenthalt. Uns wurde schnell und unkompliziert via Telefon geholfen. Zimmer sind sauber, neu und funktional. Lage ist sehr gut, öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Geschäfte und Restaurants/Kneipen in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen..
