Köln Hoteller i Kalk

Comfort, staff

It is located in a rather quiet area of the city, but with pretty easy access to subway. The sightseeing places are on the other side of the river. So if you prefer an "instant" access to those places, then this hotel might be a little out of the range. A LIDL supermarket is only within 5 min walk to the hotel, which we found very convenient.

Room was decent, full size mattress instead of 2 twins (which I've come to expect in Europe), plenty of space, good location - away from the city center so it was quiet, but not too far that it was inconvenient to go sightseeing The water temperature in the shower wasn't consisitent - it would stay where we set it, then suddenly be cold for about 20 seconds, go back to normal, then be near scalding. It didn't matter what time of the day we took a shower, we always had the same problem. The free parking is limited to about 8 spaces, so you're pretty much stuck with the paid parking. The electricity goes off when you leave the room (which is fine), but that also includes the air conditioning. Also, the trains were a little loud and ran all night, so if you slept with the windows open, you couldn't get away from them.

The breakfast was excellent. They care about guests' religion by mentioning the origin of the food. The reception staff can be more guest oriented.

peacefull and clean there is no air conditioning

Its lying right in the landing zone of the nearby airport and one side of the hotel faces the highway which is loud too. This means that you need to keep you windows closed otherwise its very noisy.

The staff was very, very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was basic but good. The underground is closeby. There is a big parking right across the hotel. This hotel is ideal if you decide to visit Köln by car and are looking for a cheap but decent place to stay. I have no remarks. The hotel is very basic, so if you are used to a lot of luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a cheap, decent place to stay for only a few nights, I'd recommend it.

Good!!! Little house

Welcoming, friendly, helpful owner couple. Basic comfort but most importantly clean modern en suite clean bed linen. Good location for Conference/Exhibiton Centre or City. Stained carpet.

Leaving They at first claimed that they couldn't find my booking (even when I showed them on their computer screen). We asked for a non-smoking room, but was fitted with ash-trays and smelled of smoke. The constant loud road noise kept us up all night (even with ear plugs) - we received this room even though we asked for one not facing the street...the beds were very uncomfortable.

external view

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very nice for a family room. There was actually two separate WC/bathrooms to the room. The room and breakfast was very basic, but still acceptable.
