Lint Hotel

The actual room I was in was quite nice.

The key cards to get into the building after hours regularly fail. Staff repeatedly give patronising lessons on how to swipe a card. When you ask them to skip the lesson and just replace it with a card that actually works, bullying will happen: interrupting, blaming, gaslighting, insults; the works. When I first arrived, the guy at reception was super judgmental about me saying I was fine with 5 flights of stairs: looking me up and down and asking, ‘Are you sure?’ over and over. Staying here for two nights was a degrading experience; this place is an abusive environment. There also isn’t coffee in the room, or tea.

The location very good (if not too center of the Carnival). Room was clean and cozy and personnel friendly.

The location was just in the middle of the Carnival actions. Of course the hotel has no responsibility of that. In any case, the noise from the street was very very loud and it continued very late. The windows are not noise-proof.

Excellent location for seeing Cologne old town. Also close to river Rhine and plenty of eating places along river bank. Good breakfast, awful coffee.

Hotel; NO lift and 5 flights of narrow stairs. Not suitable for old folk or anyone with difficulty climbing stairs. Bad if you have heavy suitcases to drag up 5 flights of stairs. No facilities for tea or coffee in room or in hotel after management leave the building unattended for night.
