6/10 Good

Nice room , but a bit cramped. Bar was nice but needs more variety of normal top shelf alcohol . Breakfast was fine , scrambled eggs would be a good add.

I had the best experience at Ruby Ella. The staff was lovely and so helpful. I loved the hotel. It was so modern and cool. I would totally recommend to any one and I will try to stay at their locations from here on out. It was a great experience.
Kandis, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, central location, modern

Great central location, clean and modern design, comfy bed, soap/shower gel in refillable containers (more environment friendly), great value for that price I had an issue with my pre-payment not being visible and ended up being charged twice but the staff was very friendly and patient while trying to roll it back

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel and stay. Air conditioning was not working in one of the three rooms we rented but things like that happen and they did come look at it but couldn’t fix it. They apologized and everyone was nice.

Design, comfort, treat yourself

Rooms and common area are spotless, the overall perception is of a very clean and fresh place. The design of the hotel, rooms, bar and lounge is amazing, rooms are particularly spacious also thanks to spaces designed to maximise natural light and comfort. Breakfast is one of the best I've ever seen, fit with the expectations one could have in such context. Bar also, I'd recommend the nice selection of Guns. Late checkout options available at a fair price I'd say. Staff is friendly, professional and give a major contribute to an overall awesome experience
Oscar, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cologne is great and this is a great area, but pick a different hotel. 0/10 I'm usually very understanding, but wow. AC broken, electrical generally on the fritz, rooms missing some basics like a phone and clock/alarm. When approached about the ac being broken, staff, especially what seemed to be management could only shrug and say "yeah that happens but we can't do anything since we're sold out". This includes when giving a private review after my stay, again, shrug... "we'll look into it and make sure our staff get better training"... Next time, try at least a refund instead of leaving a customer in a roasting-hot room with flickering lights for a week. To be clear, this isn't some front-desk or general hotel worker's problem, those folks seemed to genuinely care but just had no way to help, if this is known to happen I doubt they had insufficient training given that even when communicating directly they didn't give even a partial refund. I hate to think the lower level might get blamed, but wow worst hotel stay I've had in a long time.
William, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay in hotel. Room is clean but you have to be close to the person you are sharing with as the shower opens into the room. Staff very friendly and nice bar area. Would definitely stay again
Ben, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything great, clean, good service. Beds were very firm so a matter of personal taste. I prefer softer.
Emil, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay for a short trip

25 walk from the Dom. hotel was a bit too automated for our liking, although the staff were excellent. Tea and coffee only available is a booth on each floor, with a precarious hot water dispenser, I burned my finger. Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and plenty of them. Could do with comfier chairs in the bar/restaurant. Nice selection at breakfast.

Kommer meget gerne igen

Super dejligt hotel, spændende og moderne indretning. Vi fik så god en service, også i baren. Vi kommer gerne igen eller ser efter et Ruby Hotel, når vi rejser i fremtiden.
Vi manglede puder og dyne til endnu en person, men det ordnede personalet hurtigt.
