Hotel Ilbertz Garni

As I mentioned in title they were very honest, gentile and helpful. I chooses a single room and, I did not expected too much but...the furniture was cool, modified to give you more space: smaller door for bathroom give room for a larger bed and a nice wall mirror to get even more space. Large window for the same idea, good elevator, nice view over the bridge, like you will see in picture. I was really feeling safe and comfortable here and ii will be back for it's position: central, close to Laxess arena, train station and city center. Congrats !

Brilliant location, super friendly team, easy travel from the airport, on the quieter bank but a tram stop right outside (line 1 or line 7 stops just down the road). Easy walk into the City, truly wonderful experience - recommend bike hire from Radstation at the main station - excellent bike routes and such fun

We stayed in Cologne for 2 nights, and we needed a room for three. This hotel offered us two separate rooms, which was great. Both rooms had fridges, but neither one of them worked, we brought it to the attention to the receptionist at the front desk, however, it was about 7:50 pm when we discussed it with them and they were leaving for the night…. There is no one on duty between 8 pm and 6 am. Since we were there for just a couple of days, it did not warrant the trouble of getting the fridges fixed… The rooms were rather small, but a single was a corner room, so it had a large shower with a window, with enough space inside the room to move about. In the double, the bed was taking most of the space and besides having difficulty to store the suitcases, moving around was difficult. Moreover, in the double the shower was a corner deal, so small, that we kept hitting ourselves on the plumbing (the water regulator) when washing, there was barely any room to move in it. A huge plus was the AC in the room, to keep the temperature down; with the heat wave across Europe, it was a saving grace. The location is really good, with the tram line right across the little bridge, about 2 minute walk, we could get into town very quickly and easily. The neighborhood was quiet, so the sleep was restful. The mattresses and bedding were comfortable. There were sufficient number of outlets in the room to charge our devices. Wi-Fi was good. The rooms were clean. Overall, a good stay, but not spectacular.

The staff was very friendly upon arrival and were accommodating with my early arrival time. The hotel is just across the bridge from the main attractions and right beside Koln Trianlge. There is also a tramline right outside the hotel for convienice! The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom was modern, clean and the shower was of good quality. I would highly recommend this place.
