Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights for a week end. The location is good, on BarbarossaPlatz, 4 stops from the main train station (Koln/Dom Hbf) , you can take a reduced ticket (valid for max. 4 stops) at 1,50 euro to reach it. The front desk people really so kind, smiley and helpful. The hotel is in 7th floors, 7 rooms per floor. Mine was at 2nd floor on the square , With the windows open the nights are a bit noisy but the windows have 2 layers so with closed window it's quiet. The room was a bit small, a double bed , a table with chair, a wardrobe and TV (no refrigerator). The bathroom is small but functional. The cleanliness is ok. Towels and linen changed everyday. The breakfast is really good, it's selfservice and you can find croissant, cookies, ham, egg, different kind of breads and in germany of course you will find different kind of delicious jam. The hotel has Wi-Fi internet access but you should pay (1 hr=3eur, 3hr=8eur, 24he=12eur ... expensive ! and be aware ... 1 hour is continious ... i mean you can not use half an hour now and half an hour later . when you log-in for the first time you have just one hour connection. The only neagative thing that i can say is that the bathroom had no ventilation.

The location is perfect. You can walk to the on of the many shopping districts that is not very far (about a 15 min walk). A train stop is directly in front of the hotel. The breakfast was great. Cereal, mixed fruit, Brotchen, more bread, bacon, eggs, cheese, a selection of sliced meat, OJ, apple, coffee.....overall very good. The front desk personnel were very nice and helpful but did give some wrong information about the internet usage. The room, ok, the bathrooms are extra tiny. I dont know if that is European but it was small. The bed was hard but bearable for the time spent. I believe they were doing construction on the outside of the building during our stay. Luckilky we already left the hotel before they started and returned way after they were finished. We had a large room which was a good size for two people. Oh, I almost forgot. I paid 9EUR for 3 hours of internet. They receptionist told me that during my stay I would be able to log in and log out until I complete my usage time. I go to the room, log in and log out. The next day I log in but my code doesnt work. Once you log in you have to use it within 3 hours!! Another receptionist told me that. So, I didnt argue but be aware. Overall, average, great breakfast, and good hotel. I would stay again if necessary.

Hotel is brilliantly located at a major tram junction - so easy access into the centre of Cologne or direct to Bonn. There are lots of bars locally and a fair few restaurants - mostly non-German food e.g. Chinese, Indian, Lebanese etc. The hotel has an Argentian Steak House in the basement - we did not try it but it seemed very popular. Hotel was spotlessly clean - foyer has a small bar looking onto the street. This and an adjoining room doubles as the breakfast area. Breakfasts were great - continental style buffet - good selection of breads, cereals, meats, cheese, yoghurt etc. Eggs were available as well. Breakfast was from 6am until 11am. Great if you want a leisurely start. Room was modern and clean - comfy beds and adequate bathroom and wardrobe space. The room was fairly small but adequate for a city base. TV in room had at least 2 english news channels. Double glazing kept the street noise out - but was loub when window opened. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definately stay here again.

stayed at the ambassador for the xmas market. The hotel is spotlessly clean the rooms are small but adequete for a city break. The breakfast was superb and the little bistro breakfast room was lovely. The location of the hotel is perfect as you have a tram right outside the hotel to take you into cologne itself which takes about 10min or you can walk which would take about 25min but you get to walk through the shopping areas which there are alot of. I would recommend this hotel 100 percent especially for the xmas markets.

The hotel bore no resemblance at all to the website pictures, which made it expensive. Standard room was absolutely tiny and boiling hot. Staff were very unfriendly (and I speak German) could not/would not provide us with an iron and, when asked, told us there was no ironing service. Save your €50 and stay in an Ibis!
