Hotels in center in Koln

And yes, the breakfast is different. its more of a coffee shop breakfast in which you choose from a menu with a variety of choices. you want a Bouffe? go someplace else. I stayed there and it was excellent

Room is modern and nice and perfect for a single use. The location is awesome, just an alley in the heart of the city. went out directly to the christmas fare. Breakfast was good to start the morning with a good note

Clean room, comfortable bed, and a modern bathroom. The friendly staff greeted us on check in and were helpful when asking for restaurant recommendations

Stop bitching, will ya!? This hotel is excellent. you do your homework and you won't have problems. Yes, the hotel doesn't have an elevator. you should have checked in advanced. They won't build one just for you

Location was perfect! We were steps away from a Christmas market, food, shopping, and a two minute walk to the Rhine

And mostly - Service level as high as you can expeect. I promise to come back again next time i'm in Cologne

There is no air conditioning which would be a necessity in high summer!

Disappointed in standard of hotel, on arrival was told all parking was booked out. Room on 3rd floor was small with unwanted extra bed taking up spare space

3 days 2 nights trip to Cologne with a friend. Not in the town centre, but if you don’t mind a little extra walk compared to expensive hotel in town centre, you should be fine. Be mindful if you bring loads of luggage

As for the location, it's great. Very close to trams (9, 12, 15. ) and a very central location, 20 minute walk from the Dom (10 minutes with public transport ) and a 7 minute walk from the Neumarkt

The front desk staff was kind, the location was good, and the breakfast was delicious. The shower didn't have hot water, but it was hot that day so it wasn't a problem.

Quiet place not far away from the main spots in Cologne. Staff is very kind. Breakfast is very simple though it is included.

This is a value for money hotel around 15 minutes walk from central Cologne. The staff couldn't be more helpful on arrival ensuring we had a room even though we were 4 hours early for the official check in time

This is a lovely quiet hotel within walking distance of the busy central Cologne. The staff couldn't be more helpful, even ensuring we had a room on arrival 4 hours before the official check in time

Id definitely recommend if you want the peace away from the hustle and bustle of central Cologne

The only thing, which is nothing really is the room tvs did not have an English speaking channel which made for a long night if you're not wanting night life. But as said, if that's the only negative it's all good

We were offered refreshments as we waited, very friendly first impression of Cologne. The room was extremely clean, towels changed every day. Supermarkets, cafes etc within a few minutes walk

We were even offered refreshments while we waited. The room is clean and the towels etc changed every day. Supermarkets, cafes etc within easy walking distance

Fantastic location on the river, close to the train station, cathedral, and Christmas markets. Clean room cleaned daily and very friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

I have stayed in the apartment with my family and we liked it a lot. Considering the value, location, friendliness of the stuff it is a 5* experience

Wonderful Hotel, Great Staff, Rooms Superb, Lovely Location

Strange thing is that hotel offers you apartments not just rooms, which are located so far away from the embankment.

Location is nice, right near the riverbed. Room is clean, bed also clean and comfortable as well.

Location was idea, beds very comfortable and lots of space. Location was perfect for a city break. However the shower temperature was temperamental and the towels were as rough as sandpaper.

Basic hotel managed by a family, room is simple but clean. Toilet is odd though. Location is central and it can be noisy in the room. There is parking nearby, 15euro/night

Hotel is in a fantastic location walkable to the Cologne Cathedral, Fatima House Eau de Cologne Museum and Chocolate Factory. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was an extra cost, not cheap but good

Thankfully they were thoughtful enough to provide a fan for the room! Breakfast had a decent amount of selection and everything was fresh. It was a five-ten minute walk to the train station and cathedral

Small hotel with views of the majestic cathedral of Cologne. The rooms are simple and very clean. Not much space in the bedroom nor the shower. Very helpful clerk and personal

The staff was amazingly kind to me. The room was perfect (although a little hot with no AC)

In walking distance to the main train station

Room was comfortable without being spectacular. No fridge or kettle but did have a safe. Shower was small and leaked but OK

A great hotel A great hotel, unfortunately the air conditioning underperforms on hot summer nights.

Convenient and friendly good location about 15 mins walk from City centre. Choice of restaurants within 10 mins walk. Hotel was quiet- very few guests in late July. Rooms are spread over 6 or 7 floors

Only got water bottle the first night. Would have been nice to get one each of our four days.

No one came to tidy our room up the only day we were there even though we left the sign on the door. Everything was clean when we arrived though. Mattress was comfortable but pillows were way to soft

For the price we paid, unfortunately we wouldn't recommend it

Convenience, from the Central Station you take Train #5 two short stops and then hotel a 3 minute walk, and a great supermarket. Once in the hotel , very stylish

The one disappointment, which happens frequently, is that they have next door another property with a gym/spa and as seein in the photo of the entrance where the word HOTEL is, thats a doorway you don;t use but its likely a home for the homeless or just where they go and urinate

They are unable to do anything about this, and they don;t think to wash the area daily

Lovely stay, staff was friendly, room was cozy. Overall, a lovely stay!

They give you bottles of water for the room,still or with bubbles

Very nice staff good hotel and great area

The service in the hotel is good. The location faces the Rhine River and the scenery is great when the weather is clear. There is a restaurant and pub downstairs, but it is a bit noisy in the middle of the night

Fantastic view, in the middle of the old town. Parking for 5 € per day nearby. Within walking distance of Music Dome. And a royal breakfast with a glass of sparkling wine and salmon. Real holiday

Located at very strategic location. Walking distance to the main tourist attraction. The hotel also provides free pastry and coffee in the morning

Only downside, we only realise there is a 50% discount with selected parking garage after parked our car and checked in. This is important information that should be mentioned on the website

Clean, excellent location, friendly staff Excellent value for money

Very good hotel with beautiful views good location friendly staff

Thank you dear staff of the Hotel in the water tower. You have conjured up of me and my wife an incredible, amazing weekend. We always come back gladly and can recommend the Hotel in the water tower full

My family stayed at the Wasserturm hotel for three weeks over the Christmas holidays and had a lovely time. This was our second time staying at the hotel in 2025 and everything was exceptional

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Most staff members spoke multiple languages which was very helpful with our international family members. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious

I highly recommend the two story suites with amazing views of the city. Cleaning staff were thorough and helpful as we were traveling with our small pets

The design of the hotel is truly unique and makes the stay feel special—you really notice that this is not a standard hotel. The breakfast was very rich and high quality, with a great variety and excellent service

The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the rooftop bar was a great way to finish out each day. The rooms were also very clean and offered the basics of what you need

Hidden in plain sight is this unexpected gem of a hotel. Located on the other side of the Rhine, near the beautiful Deutzer Brücke. Next to tram 7 that takes you straight to Dom and city center in 5 minutes

The hotel is beautifully located. Close the city centre. It's clean and has nice decor. However, my room was super cold.

We loved the atmosphere of this place! Our room (25) was perfectly clean. Little balcony with morning sun and nice biew. In the room a surprisingly huge Samsung screen that has mirror-your-phone feature

The hotel is filled with art and personally collected treasures: paintings, sculptures, photography, art nouveau lamps, pop-art images and scale models

The hotel is run by people with clearly a passion for hospitality, service and style

Comfortable and convinient Breakfast, typical continental with good choice of cereal, meats, cheese, fruit, breads etc

One of the nicest locations in the center of Cologne. Comfortable room with a amazing chair/sculpture. Beautiful view of the Basilica of St. Gereon and plaza from my window. Excellent restaurant adjacent, La Fonda

The architecture of the hotel is stunning that flows through the interior of this building. Set in a quiet square nestled just a ten minute walk from the centre of cologne.

You need to embrace the quirkiness of a hotel “fitting into” the former Köln Central Archive Building

What a find! Loved this gem of a hotel. Beautiful conversion from an historic building. Excellent service from a team that really cares about the guest experience. Great location to walk almost anywhere within 30 minutes

I had a wonderful stay at the Qvest Hideaway Hotel! I have a passion for interior design and architecture, and The Qvest Hotel was a visual experience! And the photography on the walls are stunning

Stunning and extraordinary location to experience Köln. I stayed in the venerable Salon Suite and I cannot extrapolate the beauty of this room with words. Best hotel room I’ve ever had

walkable/ w e-scooter to the centre, supermarkets nearby!

Nice hotel - we had a double room which came with a view of the cathedral. The bed wasn't a double but two singles pushed together, which was fine. Beds were very soft, pillows were poor (very very thin)

The hotel is close to Hansaring station and the cathedral. There’re restaurants and supermarket nearby. The single room is also spacious, and the decoration is nice. Staff are friendly.

The room was very clean, and the subway station was just across the street. Facilities: Overall clean and not outdated.

Small hotel but clean & comfortable stay. Good location & it’s great for travellers. Staffs working 24/7 @Reception. Feeling very safe staying here

Good location hotel with many things walkable. Very basic hotel.

I had a fantastic stay! The location was ideal, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly! Wunderbar :-)

Boutique Hotel operated with a moderate and professional standard, unique rooms yet very special ! Not for anybody’s time but cool for a stay

Wonderful boutique hotel! It did not only feel like living in a gallery, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very pretty (we stayed in the reading room) and each room was designed in a unique way! Very clean too and located very central and everything was at walking distance! A tip, book directly with them, if anything, it is much easier for them to make it work for you! Thank you...

Great stay at the 18Arts Hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. The shower was hot, the bed was firm. I would not recommend this hotel for those with limited mobility as there is no lift.

A unique, delightful hotel. Room was very spacious, clean and well equipped. Loved all the small extras in the room. Didn't have breakfast, but very close to many restaurants.

Fabulous location walking distance from Hauptbahnhof. Easy access to hotel and room using wireless entry system sent to mobile phone. Located on a lively ‘party’ street opposite an Irish pub and various clubs/restaurants

Even if it's the traffic not to check in permits in a timely manner, you will be helped and the staff is super friendly. Also a small, but diverse and tasty Breakfast. Gladly again, thank you for everything:)

Parking wasn’t as easy as I had thought it would be. We were able to park on curb for free Sunday but were told we might get a ticket on Monday. We didn’t.

A really nice traditional hotel, great city center location, a decent breakfast, Nicely appointed rooms, a few minor issues with the fixtures but nothing that detracted from the enjoyment of our stay, well priced

There were 4-5 Christmas markets within walking distance of the hotel. The breakfast was served in a beautifully decorated breakfast room. It was a typical German breakfast, a substantial continental breakfast

the street was a bit dark for me at night when walking alone. Also, the hotel desk is not staffed overnight. I would recommend this hotel but I do not think it is appropriate for older, solo female travelers

The bathroom was very clean and had a large and excellent shower with plenty of hard water. The bed was comfortable although might be hard for some. There is free wifi but it wasn’t always a good signal

Very nice staff, super location and the price is also fine. For 10 Euro per day, you can even Park in the underground garage opposite. But it's best to book with book.

good service and good breakfast

The station also provided access to some shopping for drinks etc. The main shopping centre was within walking distance

Kind and friendly staff, spotlessly clean room.

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but fairly small

very good position very convenient. near the central station clean and tidy.

I appreciated that the automated check-in was very simple, often in Airbnbs or other hotels you have to go through a convoluted process that feels like an escape room before you make it to your room but here I just got a code, entered that on the main door and that was it

I was in town for the ANUGA trade fair earlier this month, and while the hotel's location was perfect (just a stone's throw from the Cathedral) and the rooms were exactly right—spotlessly clean and tidied daily—the real story here is the incredible staff

The room itself was small but perfect: clean, comfortable and with good wifi connection. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in Cologne again one day

My trip took a painful turn when too many excellent German beers triggered a brutal gout attack. With my foot throbbing, I felt desperate

Location was great, only a 10 minute or so walk into the city centre but there were other shops and bars in the freisenstraase area also close by. I would happily stay here again

There is no actual reception but there is a workspace downstairs, where I believe the owner often resides. The room itself was small but perfectly formed, a simple bed, desk, wardrobe and a private bathroom

Came and stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with friends which has very friendly receptionist and is a great location just across the road from a train station and around the corner from the koln triangle, at has a bar and an eating area but i never used these, you could purchase additional breakfast and gas a nice busy Mexican restaurant one or two doors away

The only downside was not much storage space in the room's but other than that, a great price and would recommend for a budget stay

It Is also a great location with just a short walk away being the main bridge which leads to the main cologne cathedral, great location and a pleasant stay which would reccomend

The hotel itself was clean, has decent sized room's and good working bathroom facilities

Luckily on the next day I met another receptionist who spoke English. There was no free wifi which hampered customer's external communication

Stayed 4 nights for the Euro's, extremely friendly welcome and easy check in

We used the sofa bed - it wasn’t amazing but definitely did the job. Hotel doesn’t look great from the outside but had a decent breakfast, staff were helpful and it’s an easy walk to the cathedral etc

It is spread over two floors with two lovely bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs with balconies on both sides and you can see the cathedral. Downstairs has another balcony, tv, fridge and some chairs

A good, inexpensive, small hotel. The room was adequate, small, nice, and clean. Older people should try to get a room on the lower floors, as there is no elevator but four floors

The rooms are quite OK. Cleaning also can't complain. The best is location, I think u can reach everywhere by 15 mins walk.

It has a helpful, understanding and hospitable work team. You can reach them easily. They are very interested. I thank them very much . ( I also liked the location of the hotel very much )

Close to the cathedral, large room on the 4th floor with 3 balconies, good breakfast, very friendly staff, refrigerator in the room, kiosk directly opposite – all in all a very positive stay.

The room was clean even if kind if old. The position is the best if you are in the city for a cin ern jn the close arena. Its also very convenient to reavh tye city center: just 20 minutes walking distance

Amazing value I would 100% recommend no complaints at all, I was able to enter at 3AM due to our late flight with no problems. Keys are on phones so are very easy. Just the best hotel I could have gone too.

The hotel was small, the bed was small, the bathroom lacked a separate shower area, leaving the floor wet after showering, and the room floor was slippery

The room is small, but the interior is clean and chic. Close to the Deutz station. One bottle of mineral water is free. Free wifi.

Aside from the cheap price and proximity to the tram stop, I wasn't very satisfied, but the service was acceptable

Plenty of shops supermarkets coffee shops bakery pubs couple minutes walk

Nice clean bed and breakfast very centrally located with friendly staff.

Very decent hotel right smack in the shopping belt. Supermarket nearby with a lot of shops and near to the Dom. Only downside is that there is no elevator and we had to walk up 3 storeys with a couple of luggage’s.

3-star hotel with an excellent hospitality. The street is quiet close to the cathedral. The breakfast is served in a room very well decorated. the rooms are small but very clean decor new, same for the shower room

lol I've stayed in several hotels in Europe, and this one was by far the cleanest. Being used to the quality of cleaning in Japan, I was often disappointed in Europe, but this one was fantastic

(They even had disposable slippers, which are rare in Europe!) There's just one thing to be aware of: There's a chance that the front desk won't be staffed when you check in, so you'll need to call the hotel

We were able to check in earlier than the 3:00 pm The man greeted us warmly and spoke English. He explained everything so thoroughly. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable
