My stay at City Hotel Storch was quite disappointing. While the location in the center of Cologne was convenient, the overall experience was marred by numerous issues. From a double booking that had me sharing a room with a stranger to various maintenance problems, it felt more like a mismanaged hostel than a hotel.

Rooms

5.0

I arrived to find myself in a tiny room that was not what I booked. The shower barely worked, and the sheets had visible stains. To top it off, I struggled with a clogged sink and faulty plugs.

Service

5.0

The staff were unfriendly and avoided us after the initial room debacle. I asked for a refund for at least the first night but had no response to my emails or calls.

Location

7.0

On the plus side, the hotel is located very close to the metro station, making it easy to explore the city.

Dining

5.0

There were some decent dining options nearby, including a cafe across the street that offered good breakfast choices. But that was one of the few bright spots.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel lacked basic amenities, and even though I was made aware that there was no lift, navigating the steep stairs was quite an ordeal.

My stay at City Hotel Storch was filled with frustrations. The location was decent, but that was about it. The shower didn’t work, and I had to navigate through renovation chaos starting at 7:30 am even on weekends. The staff were unhelpful and avoided addressing the issues, which left me feeling quite dissatisfied.

While the location was fairly central, it was a bit of a trek to get to the main attractions. it's not the closest spot to the cathedral, and the area felt more cramped than inviting.

My stay at City Hotel Storch had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, close to the city center and a quaint little lake (perfect for morning walks). However, I encountered several issues with my room, including a lack of heating and an unpleasant smell (I couldn't quite tell if it was from inside or outside). Overall, while the hotel was clean and had a comfy bed, the experience could have been much better.
