  : The location is fantastic if talking about the distance from the hotel to the Rhein, the city centre and, therefore, including the DOM and the train station etc.The night receptionist is very friendly and helpful.The beds we occupied are comfortable.The bathroom was clean and tidy.Breakfast was a standard continental ones.
  : The hotel is sandwiched between "adult entertainment shops", which was a shocker (especially travelling with a child).There is strictly seen no car park for this hotel (just 1 space). Other vehicles would have to be parked on public roads and machine-paid. We were lucky to have arrived quite late and departing quite early - we parked up directly in front of the hotel without any charges nor tickets.Our room did not have a working TV, but we did not care too much, as we were only staying overnight.Anybody, who is expecting a "full English breakfast" would be disappointed.

  : Nothing. We got there to be told our room was unservicable and they couldnt have us. We coud go to a sister hotel which at 7pm in the evening witb 2 x children was a nightmare
  : That they never told us or told us via booking.com Totally unacceptable
