Wald-Hotel

During fairs and other events in the Cologne area this hotel might constitute a cheap alternative, yet it is still way overpriced. Actually the only advantage is that staff is fairly friendly. The rooms are very oldfashioned and worn down. The hotel itself is located rather off the town - nearest public transport is a 20 min walk away. Although they pride themselves for the WiFi it kept disconnecting and had a very limited bandwith. Also, contrary to what it says in the description, they do not offer an airport transfer. Please do also note that reception is only staffed until 9pm. This furthermore indicates that apparently there is no staff on site during the night which is rather frightening at this location.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself is tired and in need of a refresh and the room itself was really small and very basic. The tv didn't have a signal. The bathroom was clean but tiny. Appreciate that they were able to charge over 200 euro's because of an exhibition for Cologne but that really made the experience so much worst. Felt like I was being ripped off. If they had charged a sensible price, I would consider using it again, but now I wouldn't on principle.

stayed 1 nite in the wald hotel as the others were out of range in price - fair price - near the small town forest - chinese restaurant built in onthe ground floor - can be noisy - room rate doesnt include breakfast... - rooms are decorated year 2000 style each room with a different decor - staff friendly and helpful - free parking - about 2 km from the town center - wifi works well could visit again if the price is right
