AZIMUT Hotel Cologne

The hotel location is perfect for public transport and nearby pf many restaurants. Room is spacey however but nternet is poor. The check-in experience was very good with a multi-langual and sympatic gentleman. However the check out experience was the opposite. The non-smiing lady ( her name was Ms. Diashcenko) refused very clearly my request to check out at 1 pm instead of 12. Almost all the hotels accept this 1 hour difference. So they are not really flexible for that.

Very spacious room, clean and comfortable. Good location for walking and public transport.

Azimut was great. Our room was perfect and the location is great. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly.

Disappointingly this hotel seems stuck in a 1970's decor warp in its entirety. I was particularly disappointed in the ambiance of the room, albeit very large in proportion, there was literally a 1.5 metre external wall blocking the external window view from our room on the 4th floor. When I asked the receptionist to change us to another, less obtrusive view he explained that all the rooms were of similar design, which on later enquiry proved not to be true. Only the 5th floor has this external design feature, of this protected building dating to the early 1900's.

The room was large but somewhat spare. I was on the top floor. It was very clean except a hard to see shelf area behind the toilet. The lobby is unimpressive. Ibis lobbies, especially those that have been renovated recently, are much more inviting. The area is fine but not very interesting. Location beside train can be loud, but it is very convenient to the S-bahn station Hansaring.
