Our room faced the woods, so we had a nice view of the forest. They have an amazing continental breakfast featuring cheese, meat, fresh bread, yogurt, and an egg station. The service was friendly.

I'm obsessed with this hotel. I came here for a business trip and could not have been more pleased…read more The hotel is located right in the woods, which made for a really picturesque view from my room, particularly in the morning. You can even get a treehouse for your stay (I'll have to try that next time)! As a dog lover, I was so excited to see a sweet dog that roams the hotel. The room was cozy with a very comfortable bed. I appreciated that the toilet was in a separate part of the room and that the shower opened up to the room (which made it easy to change in the morning). Parking was free, which was nice. I also appreciated the free beer that they put in your fridge (and restock each day as well). Finally, the breakfast was delicious. They had hard boiled eggs, meats, cheeses, toast with a ton of different types of jams, cereal, fruit, and yogurt. They also had a really good instant coffee maker that even made espresso (yum). I would most certainly stay here again.

We held a wedding rehearsal dinner at Jan von Werth (JVW) in July 2016. Many of the attendees were…read moreinternational guests so we wanted to have a traditional, German dinner near the city center and our new flat. JVW has a private, party room that can seat up to ~70 people which was a big plus. The food was very good. We had a fixed menu where guests could choose from schnitzel, pork knuckle, salad with prawns, or potato pancakes. Prior to selecting JVW, we came to the restaurant to try each item and were pleased the quality during the rehearsal dinner was the same. In addition, JVW was kind enough to print out menus in English and German for this special occasion. The owner/manager (Max) was very friendly and responsive via phone or email. Every time we stop by (both before and after the rehearsal dinner), he spends some time with us and chats. I look forward to more visits at JVW! FYI - The only downside to our event was I wish they had more staff. For a party of 45-50 people, we only had 2 waitresses so food and drinks were a bit slow. In addition, JVW prefers communicating in German.

My friends and I enjoyed ourselves at the hostel. Checking was easy and each receptionist was very…read morenice. The rooms were well decorated and clean. We were mostly worried about the community bathrooms and shower but they were very clean and nice. We decided to check out the bar downstairs and met lots of English speakers because they have you put on flag stickers of the language(s) you speak. Drinks were pretty well priced especially for the specials. In the morning we ordered the breakfast which was a good vegan breakfast. One of my favorite features of the hostel is that the floors lock so you need a key for the elevator. It made us feel safe especially with the bar on the bottom floor. I'd highly suggest this hostel to anyone but especially first time hostel goers. It's an nice easy transition from hotel to hostel.

We stayed here on a brief trip to Cologne and it was very comfortable. I would stay here again and…read morewould recommend it to friends! Notably the main entrance is stairs only but there are side doors that are handicap accessible and make suitcases much easier as well. I'm seeing a lot of negative comments from Bonvoy members that are frankly a little embarrassing on some review sites... These rooms seemed in line with European hotel room standards and were impeccably clean, and comfortably appointed. In a very old building things like AC will often be impossible and that's really something you should look into before staying somewhere if it's important to you. Similarly when transitioning a very old building for a new purpose, not every room will have ample windows! Our room had one which worked fine for our needs. For us, there was a little confusion because we thought that breakfast was optional to include as titanium members (usually there is an option to add breakfast as a welcome benefit for higher status members), but this was a miscommunication and while a bit of an unpleasant surprise to be met with the bill at the end of our stay, understandable and not a detriment to our overall experience. I do think the hotel would benefit from clarifying if they offer a welcome benefit and outlining it very clearly, but that is really my only criticism. Our bathroom thankfully had a real and functioning door although I agree that some door choices in European hotels can leave privacy to be desired. Overall we were very pleased, really appreciated the convenient location, and found the hotel to be charming, and the staff to be helpful and pleasant. Definitely encourage you to stay here and take advantage of the easy public transit nearby!

The room was nice but noisy because of the near highway . There is no direct access to the soccer field which is only open at games . You can catch a look using the conference room but if they are occupied you are out of luck . I would not come back and the biggest reason for it is the cost of breakfast and parking !
