We advised that we would arrive late on Thursday (after 11 at night) because our flight from Spain was a night flight. We had been told that there was no problem. Well, when we arrived at the hotel, a little before midnight, we started trying to check-in at the automatic machine (because the hotel does not have a reception). We tried more than 20 times but the machine kept telling us that our last name and our confirmation number were wrong and that we should call a contact phone number to find a solution. We called the number three times and in no case they were responsible. They told us that they couldn't do anything. Our reservation was fully paid. Still, we had to wander around Cologne looking for a new hotel. On the phone they told us to go at 9 in the morning that there would be someone at the reception to help us. There was no one until one of the cleaners came out to tell us that we should go to another hotel from where they managed the reception. We went and they told us that since we arrived a little late they made a mistake and marked NO SHOW on our reservation and they have also reserved the room for someone else, so we have been left out, now having to pay for a new room in another hotel far from the center for our the rest stay. Our reservation has been paid for since April, but they also tell us that we must process the refund from Booking. I have never seen such bad customer service. This hotel is a rip off and a failure. You can not trust it.
