    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.

    There is no breakfast, but no problem to get it nearby. Location is superb if you go to Lanxess Arena. Station is very close, easy to find the hotel, just don't use google map , better to contact the owner of the hotel.

    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...

    Helpful and friendly owner. Clean, comfortable room. There's a great pub just down the road. About a 20 minute walk into the city, handy for the exhibition site.
