Callas Hotel am Dom

Hotel com excelente localizaçao, recepcionista muito simpatica, hotel limpo. "cosy" O pequeno almoço bom.

The Callas Hotel is a small tourist class hotel in the center of Cologne. The location is good , right on the main shopping street and near the great cathedral. The location is the best part of this accommodation. That said, I can go over the pros and cons as I experienced them. The staff is friendly and check I was quick . The hotel has an elevator to get you up to the rooms. This 4 story hotel is well equipped for a short stay. The rooms have comfortable beds and are clean. The linens are fresh and bathroom was immaculate. The hair dryer was a plus. The room had large windows facing out to the street and with a stretch you could see the cathedral towers. Breakfast was simple and I loved the sliced salmon. What a treat! The cons There is no lobby and the rooms are quite small. This is the first time I stayed in a place where I could hear everything the neighbors said and every door opening and closing. I thought someone was at my door constantly because I could hear all noises in the corridor. The small bathroom had only a diskette of soap and a squeeze bottle of liquid hair/ body cleanser mounted on the wall and a roll of tissue. Curtains were very poor although blocking out light did not help with the street noises. I never got the tv to work and WiFi only allowed for my laptop to sign in but not a second device. The serve yourself breakfast was a bit too simple and the staff was absent. It is always nice to have a chat with the server and feel you are welcome

Great stay. You cannot beat the location or friendly staff. Hotel offers a great breakfast which is a great way to start the day.

Be careful about the 5% "city tax" that I was not aware of when I reserve. I was charged without any notice. I double check that the city tax can be waved if the purpose is for business travel. When I realize, I emailed them about the situation for three emails, they do not reply me. Very rude.

The hotel staff and location are excellent. Getting to the main attractions was easy. A fan in the room would have made our stay much more bearable as it was a heatwave and there is no AC in the rooms.
