THE QVEST hideaway

It’s a beautiful hotel with super comfy beds, and the breakfast is great (although a little pricey). The staff are really lovely and helpful, with good tips for restaurants nearby.

Great location, beautiful building, and a very nice room. However, because of the building design the windows in the room did not provide much ventilation so the room was a bit warm. Only a small fan was provided.

Great building. The place is not anymore than a jumped up hostile.

Nice quiet room but Far too warm

This is a great hotel, beautiful building in a beautiful city!!

Unfortunately the room given to us was the smallest ever we had in any hotel. On top of it it was under the roof with even less space useable. Window curtains didnt block light enough of the tiny resulting us waking up when the sun was up. No lift from level 5 to level 6 or any offer to assist carrying our luggage. TV stand so low that you couldn't watch it from the only spot possible, the bed. Nice design features but partly design is limiting functionality. Nice building but we will never go back.

Gorgeous hotel with very friendly, informative staff. Only downside was due to the architecture of the building, my room had a slant that I would occasionally bump my head on. But I am tall, and not the smartest fella.

Although I love interior design and appreciated the pieces around the hotel, I believe that interior doesn’t mean uncomfortable or not complying with the basic requirements for a hotels bedroom. I paid £165 for a single room for one night and the room had no safe, minibar, tv or a wardrobe. Again, I love the wall coat rack you used in that room but your rates should reflect what you actually offer I believe or at least make it clear on the different websites/tour operators.

Overall we loved the QVEST Hideaway! The impressive facade and entrance lobby were every bit as impressive as the photos. The minimalist look and feel coupled with ‘designer’ furnishings and wall art were also to our taste. The room we stayed in was within our budget and therefore not at the top end, but it was clean and functional. Both my wife and I found the bed slightly uncomfortable for different reasons, but the weather was hot and we were in the eves, so that might have contributed. Our main gripe was that the sink was an angled piece of marble rather than a basin and was therefore impossible to fill. This meant having a decent wash without having to have a full scale shower was tricky. We didn’t use the restaurant during our stay, so I can’t comment. We loved the central, yet secluded location in Gereonskloster behind the Basilica. This was for the most part quiet, though very late on Friday night a small group of youths made it their base to drink and talk loudly. This meant that we had to have the window closed which on a hot night was annoying. This is more of an urban issue than one the Hotel can do anything about, so it didn’t affect our overall impression of the Qvest or its location. As a convenient ‘base’ to explore Cologne centre and the buzzing nighttime areas of Friesenplatz and Rudolfplatz it takes some beating.
