-location near the Messe and both railway stations (Main Station and Deutz)is good

BUT indeed the hotel needs some $$$ for renovation.
Sorry, but I really do not understand why they selected Samsung for their 'room of the future'. I just hope we are not going to see those screens all over Europe as in Cologne, the image is lacking sharpness, especially the hotel channel, there is no HD, there is no computer connection, no headset connection...and the channel selection is very poor.
