Domapartment Cologne City Altstadt

Reading a number of previous reviews about the lack of information that the reception had a different address, I'd been hesitating to book this apartment. There were in fact too many emails before arrival. Two emails within half an hour the day before arrival that the address of the reception had changed, and a separate message asking me to confirm the arrival time. Another message the day of arrival asking me to confirm the arrival time. Two automated messages within two minutes that day which said thank you for having stayed there ... before I even arrived. When I got there mid afternoon, the key to the apartment was not available yet. I was thus offered an upgrade to a larger department. This was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Wifi however was pretty much non existant throughout my one-night stay. The noise level from the street outside the apartment calmed down some time after midnight. I kept the bathroom window closed over night to block out the noise and was greeted with a rather unpleasant smell coming up from the sewers in the morning. The receptionist provided good customer service but I guess her life could be made easier if other aspects improved.

The unit we rented was a good location and close to the train station. If your looking for full service and front desk this is not that. If your looking for a large room at a good price this might be a good match.

different adress to check in

Not easy to find the reception area - then there is an additional walk to the apartment. Apartments are all walk ups with no elevator.

Needed a place for a few nights while attending conference. Location was good and convenient for main station. Also relatively quiet considering it's a city centre location.
