Cologne Hotel Guide - Kunstzentrum Wachsfabrik hotels in Cologne, Germany.

"Lovely clean comfy room. Easy 30 min walk along the river to the hotel from central station. I slept so well, I didn't have time to have the included breakfast. Staff on reception at check in very welcoming and I was able to check in a little early which was great. "

"some work for improvements being done but otherwise great"

"Absolutely perfect location for karneval. Close to everything you need to have a good time. Great restaurants and bars nearby, transit is 30 seconds outside the hotel, can't ask for a better spot. And the rooms are HUGE for Europe. Our one issue was the room was extremely dusty and the pillows were basically non existent, but small price to pay for the location. "

"Room was lovely. Food Excellent. Great Shuttle service. Courteous staff. Gym rules weren't policed very well. Adults brought their toddlers into the gym which wasn't safe or considerate. Pool table out of action due to missing balls. Otherwise a great stay for a weekend break."

"Good"

"A basic good clean hotel centrally located in the city center next to a church that its bell would chime every fifteen minutes. Their night receptionist needs training in professionalism and manners!"

"We had a great stay at Josef’s apartment in Cologne. The location is excellent—a safe neighborhood just a short walk from the tram and plenty of local cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and bars. Grocery store a few minutes walk away. We loved the high ceilings and the thoughtful touch of beers and water upon arrival. While the historic building has plenty of charm and a great TV setup (and nice large size TV), be aware that the floors are quite creaky and the heating takes some time to warm up, but it’s an old building so it’s understandable. We also struggled with the dryer not working well, but Josef was a very responsive and helpful host, especially with parking advice. Overall, a lovely and well-located base for the city and to explore the Christmas markets. Kitchen was fully equipped to cook and the provided extra pillows and blankets were also nice to have. The apartment was larger than the photos and being on the ground floor was great for the dog. Plenty of closet space. WiFi worked well but took a bit to figure out in the beginning. Once logged in, no issues. Fast enough for remote work. Recommend and would stay again if in Cologne. "

"Only light in the room was from desk lamp, floor lamp and bedside lamps. Even with all lamps on, the room was just dimly lit. No dresser for clothes, just a deep, dark cubby cabinet with 1 shelf. Easier to "live" out of our suitcases the 4 nts we were there than have to bend over, searching cabinet with a flashlight for clothes to wear. Breakfast was ok. No traditional German Brötchen. There were some small "voll korn" rolls which were nice, but otherwise just mini kaiser rolls and rolls COVERED in poppy seeds and sesame seeds. By end of breakfast each morning those were the only rolls left. Obviously not a popular item. Suggest they nix those overly seeded rolls for some traditional brötchen. Also no elevator to the ground floor, so had to carry suitcases up/down flight of stairs. Not handicap friendly. Overall rating would be a 3.8. "
