The Qvest Hideaway

Friendly and efficient staff.

The hotel is an old building that has been recently repurposed and I’m not sure how well the original structure lends itself to a modern hotel. The room layouts are quite compromised with tiny shower space and restricted ceiling heights under the roof. None of this is a major problem. However the attempt to achieve a sort of industrial / B&W artistic chic has, in my opinion, simply left the rooms feeling rather bleak and unwelcoming. The carpets are thin and hard and the rooms just austere empty white boxes. Overall, rather depressing.

Nice building, friendly staff, central location

Due to a fair in town prices of hotels went through the roof in Cologne during my stay. I ended up in a tiny room on the 6th floor which for sure was not bigger than 8m2. For this I paid € 230,- excluding breakfast. The breakfast cost € 20,- but when I asked for a cappuccino I was charged another € 3,50 because it was not included in the breakfast price. So, first and last time for me at the Qvest.
