Sonata City Hotel

I stayed with a partner during a weekend in the easter holidays. The "automatic check in" allows for you to automatically check in after 3pm. However, i would recommend not trying that before 3:30pm because of the queue that formed in front of smarty hotel. The device is a bit infuriating to use, but after you check in once, it works like a charm. Location: 5/5 The hotel is 2 minutes away from the trainstation and the "Kölner Dom", an incredible spot in the heart of the city. You can go in many directions and see different districts of the city by foot, as the location is so central. Service: 5/5 The service staff in this establishment is just the best. They happily fixed all th etiny problems we had in our time of staying in the hotel. There is an service checkpoint on the 1st floor, which you can take advantage of 24/7, and that's not an understatement. I went there at 3am because i couldn't sleep (external noise problems) and the great night guard guy at the service checkpoint gave me two sets of oropax and sleepmasks for free. During daytime, there is a really friendly lady who hired a mechanic because something in our room wasn't fixed in place (not relevant for security). the people who work there really want you to have a nice stay. Rooms: 2/5 sadly, this is the part where i have to stop being so positive. The room had no storage room and it was incredibly narrow. The beds are on top of each other. Also, the matresses as well as the sheets were relatively unpleasant for me and my partner. There was one chair in a room for two people. Additionally, the tablet which is supposed to be your possible connection to the service point, didnt work for us. It was just broken. there was a balcony that had a view towards the back of several houses, which was uninteresting and the fire ladder to our room hadn't been fully built yet. Also the temperature of the showering water fluctuated intensely. that's why I'm coming to the conclusion that this hotel ist best at being what it wants to be. A cheap bed for the night next to a toilet and shower, in the middle of the city. you shouldn't spend your days there, and you should definitely try some things during the night as well and primarily use the hotel as a home base, where you can rest and refresh. If you do that, the hotel ist phenomenal.

the beds are sooooooooooo comfy that we slept through most of the first and second day, water pressure in the shower was INSANE and perfect temp. good location making it easy to get everywhere we needed to go and nice view. theres lots of shops nearby also.

bed was soooooo comfy like literally we didn’t actually do anything one day because we kept falling asleep bc the beds were so comfy also the room was big the window is nice and the shower has crazy good water pressure also fairly easy to walk everywhere and supermarket nearby

Stinkt im ganzen Haus, Sauberkeit war super schlecht, für den Preis eine reine Frechheit

Appartement très pratique. juste trop de portes et rue un peu bruyante
