It was too long for the scanner and folded in half anyway, so instead of trying to fiddle about with joining the two images I just put them both up as they were.
The bottom of the second is a perforated line, I'm not sure what it's for.

a laundry list
At least I'm presuming that's what this is:

Hotel Belgischer Hof
Hmmm. From what I can tell, The Hotel Belgischer Hof ("Belgian Yard") is (or was) in Cologne, and seems to be still operational. Judging from the photos on various travel sites, it has either moved locations or had a massive renovation - very possible as the city saw extensive bombing during the Second World War.
Here you can see my Great-Grandfather's first name (Lloyd) on the receipt, but not his last name. If I'm understanding the receipt correctly, he arrived on May 8th and stayed the ninth and tenth (at four Marks a night) and checked out on the 11th (the date on the inkstamp). The additional 6.4 is for "washing" - perhaps laundry service?
