Brandenburger Hof in Koln

The facade of the hotel already looks nice, and it absolutely keeps its promises. Both receptionists I met were very nice and helpful. I loved that one has to ring the doorbell to be let in as it made me feel safe.
My room and bathroom were absolutely spotless. A hairdryer, tissues and even slippers were provided in the room, it had a desk, chair, and even a nice, second chair to relax.
The location so close to the main train station is absolutely perfect, and it still is calm enough to get a good night's sleep.

The bathroom is extremely small, even for me as a very short person.
At night some boomers shouted in the hallway. Not the hotel's fault, but its thin walks also didn't help either.

I will need travel several more times and will book the hotel again for those nextdoor trips.

Cute little hotel very close to the Köln Hbf. We had a double room with a private bath, and it was just what we needed - cozy, well-maintained, and a comfy bed. As for the wi-fi, well, you get what you pay for - it was slow and the signal was inconsistent. Ended up just using cell data to map out our route for the day. Since that was the worst thing that happened, I'd say it was a great stay!

Fantastic location, friendly place, great breakfast. Rooms adequate if a little dated. Very clean. Fair price. Would recommend.

The staff is perfectly friendly with a smile on their face, and always ready to help. The hotel is clean, the bed is comfortable. The location is perfect for Cologne. If we come to Cologne again, and I hope we will, we definitely want to be in this hotel. To recommend.

I booked a single room and it turned out to look just like displayed in the photos. I was lucky to have gotten a room on the top floor because I had access to a shared but private balcony that was perfect for sunrises and sunsets. It also wasn’t hot as I had expected on the top floor.

The room is small but didn’t feel cramped because the layout and decorations created a cozy environment. The room included two towels, slippers, a small TV and desk, sink, full length mirror, and a hairdryer. I had a shared bathroom (used the ones on the third and second floor because they were bigger).

I met three different receptionists, all of whom were very nice. You can leave your keys with the front desk when you go out and can drop off your luggage in the side room on the first floor before/after you check out.

The hotel is in a very convenient location; 5 minute walk to the central station (don’t use the route that Google Maps gives but turn left when exiting the station then cross the road when you see a Vietnamese restaurant), less than 10 minutes from the famous cathedral, and 20 minutes from the old town riverside. Its location near the central station means that there’s also easy access to local public transit.

The street is dark at night but safe as there are both locals and other hotels’ customers.

Walls and doors (automatically lock) are also soundproof so I didn’t even know that my floor was more than half full until I saw the cleaning person cleaning out the rooms. If you leave your windows open or sit on the balcony, you can faintly hear announcements from the train station but it shouldn’t disturb your sleep.

I didn’t try the breakfast buffet but other reviews said it was good and I saw quite a lot of people eating breakfast in the morning (more people than I thought we’re staying the night).

Their cleaning protocol is thorough too. I saw the person in charge of cleaning vacuuming hard to reach places, changing sheets. and airing out rooms. Note that there are no elevators. And the hotel is quite secure because you need to buzz in to enter and no one really enters unless they’re staying there. There’s a small coffee and tea stand in the lobby and you can use the outdoor patio on the first floor whenever.

I would definitely consider staying here again if I ever revisit Cologne. It made for a relaxing, clean, comfortable, and quiet night’s sleep and is in a prime location. The price was also decent compared to nearby places’.

Small, but clean hotel. I had a very small room at the top floor with a shared bathroom. Room for sleeping was ok. I didn't need more. But bathroom could be better. I missed only teapot in room. Wifi also could be quicker. Breakfast was good, good choice of food. Very good coffe. And very pleasant stuff. Good location. Very near to main train station and to Dom.

The workers are very friendly. I have stored all my stuff in the Hotel. Even though I logged off at 8 o'clock, eat I the need for up to 17 hours of sitting and browsing online. It is in the vicinity of the Cathedral.I enjoyed a lot.

Nice.clean and very friendly staff!only one shortcoming.going to the toilet. Across the aisle.Habituation needy.But the Breakfast revived the whole.Throughout all tutti

Very professional and welcoming. Everybody speaks English, and the main train station hub is very close. Once you walk down the street and see the Marriot on your left turn right, and go straight to the end of the street you will see the train station in front of you(can't miss it)
