The good: The staff were quite friendly and the area around the hotel was walkable, many of the sites were within a 20-30 minute walk. The bad: The room was ok, it was quite dusty, and the layout wasn't the best. The room we had was right by the main stairwell which was ridiculously noisy, the door to get in the hotel has a loud buzzer when someone opens ot which made sleeping impossible. The room was right above a bar, so that extra noise didn't help the cause either. The amenities were ok, but nothing great. Instead of a bottle of sparkling wine, we got to single serve bottles instead. Overall, the price to performance was not up to par. The noise prevented us from sleeping, and the room was quite dusty.

best kept secret in Cologne!
A Great small boutique hotel in the heart of the city... just far enough away from/to Cologne Cathedral / HBF... Friendliest receptionists of much of my travels... early check in was no issue when room was ready... reception area is relaxed and 'arty' with nice touches like self service coffee, snacks and good magazines.. room was 'fab'.. away from direct sunlight made it cooler by day and night... the waterbed and shell surround is both dramatic but also very practical.. the room had comp water/tea and coffee, a tablet computer plus a tv with every channel any guest could need.. the Glass walled bathroom and shower was fresh, clean and had cool toiletries, towels etc.. design features of this single room include a very strong nautical theme which made it very very relaxing... check out was again smooth and prompt... Im sad i didn't have more time to stay but its location to local amenities (Babylons pool on hot days) and restaurants makes it perfect for a city break. and it really is an Art Hotel... not just in name...

A bit quirky but comfortable room - only negative was the lack of aircon on a very hot night. Would come back though, but maybe not in the summer.

My friend and I stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The room was super cute and we loved how there was a story available telling us the history of the pieces/design of the room. However, the shower/bathroom was completely visible from the bed, so make sure you room with someone you are very comfortable with if you stay here.

The jpte; gave me a room which required climbing up 8 flights of stairs, with heavy bags. No elevator, and no strong person to assist. This problem was never advised, and I would not have made the booking if it were known. Very disappointed in Expedia for not providing this essential info. Also, totally inadequate lighting in the room, along with a clear glass separation to the bathroom which could easily be crashed into with severe consequences.

The stay was really convenient. The check in was smooth and I got all the needed information. The check out process as well, the room perfectly clean, with all cosmetics needed. It is really well connected with the different areas of the city and supermarkets. Special regards to the Polish receptionist :)

This is a great idea for a hotel; art gallery in each room. We were really excited for it. But alas, it was not meant to be. We stayed for one night, and the daytime temperature was 30degrees Celsius, and the hotel had no fans or air conditioning. They had two windows in the room to open, but there were a variety of Irish bars at the end of the street, so if the windows were open, you would hear all of that noise. But if the windows were closed, you’d over heat from the humidity. It was a lose-lose situation. The staff were friendly and inviting.

Location was good and pretty close to city center and restaurant nearby. Very disappointed by the actual hotel and room itself though. No elevators, had to carry our large luggage up a flight of stairs with no assistance offered. The front reception lady who works there during the week (not weekend, that lady was great), was very cold and frankly came off pretty rude, even with the basics, it is not like we were asking anything of her. The room itself was something else, we got the "time machine" room and it felt pretty crammed and a bit dirty. For example, the red stain on the wall right behind our headboard where we slept was gross. Not sure how no one caught that and didn't clean it off. Would not stay here again, the pictures were unfortunately pretty misleading.
