    Lutz and his wife, both, were very kind and attentive. They made me and my sun feel safe and cared for. The room was small but well equipped. All details were wel considered, we had everything we need.

    The welcome and general information from Lutz was excellent. The hotel is spotless and our room had everything we required. The location is ideal, next to both train and tram stations. Highly recommended!

    Super friendly and welcoming host. Clean and light room, with more amenities than I would have expected at this price point. Well located, with Deutz station a stone’s throw away and a walk across the Rhine takes you to the Dom in just 15 mins or...

    In a quiet area but very convenient for Koln Messe/Deutz Station and for walking into the Altstadt across the Hohenzollern Bridge. We dealt with the owner's son who was very helpful and friendly.
