Where to stay in Koln

Staff were fine. Clearer directions would help in finding the hotel.

Does what it says! Get what you pay for. A but outside the city but nice area and rooms are spacious and clean. Owner is friendly

Close to music venue, very convenient, easy transport into city centre.

Staff super nice. Very clean. But quite noisy

The late check in was very convenient

The hotel has functional furnishings with good beds and was very clean. The reception was relaxed and friendly. The breakfast buffet is OK and completely reasonable for the price. Unfortunately there is no elevator and I didn't have any extra heating in the bathroom.

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

A really nice place to stay in Cologne. Online check-in was easy and access with the door code was straightforward. 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. Location was great, only a 10 minute or so walk into the city centre but there...

Really perfect!!! Definitely 5 stars from me, the location and the price were great and staying at the hotel was super pleasant. 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...

The rooms are very small but okay for solo travelers. It is a 15-minute walk to the city center. Since I visited during a rainy season, it felt a bit far to me, but it was just 15 minutes away from the Kölner Dom. The cleanliness of the room was average. There is no elevator, and the stairs are a bit narrow, so if you have heavy luggage, you’ll need to carry it up the stairs. However, in terms of price...

What a cute, wonderful place. Hotel is updated, clean and comfortable. The host was so kind and even provided us a fan for the room. Convenient location, approximately 10-15 min walk to central train station and cathedral. Couldn't be happier.

We were here for the first time and not the last time. It always annoyed me to do wellness and then have to get dressed again and go home. Great idea with wellness in the room. The whirlpool is a dream, the bed is super comfortable and the furnishings are super nice. You have to go through a hallway to get to the hotel, but if that bothers you, you have some problems 😂 We enjoyed it very much and are...

Hottub was very nice. The con was it makes alot of noice inside the tub. The welcoming can be better. Other than that everything was very nice

We stayed in a deluxe room with a whirlpool from Sunday to Monday. We really regretted not booking a second night right away. We felt absolutely at home. The marathon was taking place in Cologne on Sunday. We received an email the day before informing us of road closures and alternative parking options. This was really forward-thinking and worked out smoothly. Great service. At first, we were a little...

We reserved the room for today and unfortunately didn't look right and reserved that wrong. Rebooking possible without problems and very accommodating. I can only recommend clean and friendly.

room on street (neusser) is loud, ask for room in back or 1st floor köln 2 on yorckstr

Very nice place, clean room and friendly personel. I'd def recommend this place.

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

We stayed in the duplex which is right at the top of the building so a lot of stairs. 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. We used the sofa bed - it wasn’t amazing but definitely did the job. Hotel doesn’t look great from the outside but had...

Hotel cara vita is small family hotel. For shopping, locate near center, parking also. Breakfast is excellent for what you pay. Personel is helpful. Short stay, with big group. I think this hotel is perfect. Passing by is kind of hard. No lift. Good sleep.

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.

Check-in was a bit complicated. The code for the key box was not sent as agreed. It was only after several phone calls that we received the code and were able to go into the hotel and then into the rooms.

Stayed 4 nights for the Euro's, extremely friendly welcome and easy check in. Hotel Skada is directly opposite Koln Messe/Deutz railway station, in a great location for Koln Triangle observation deck and Lanxess Arena, Rheinpark is within walking distance and only 1k away from Kolner Dom. The hotel itself was clean, has decent sized room's and good working bathroom facilities. The only downside was...

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. It Is also a great location with just...

Great location and a bit like taking a step back in time in a slightly weird and spooky experience! Automated check in is efficient just impersonal. Only ever met the doggy behind reception which was cute. All the rooms are unique and some are quite "special". This said, all clean and all working. Never met anyone from the hotel and with the funky decor gave a bit of a spooky but fun feel! Beer...

Very good small hotel. Clean room, very nice staff! Only the bathroom are with old sanitarium and without any accessories / even no soap/ at least there are towels. But is at perfect location! I would visit it again.

Well... it's good for a night or two. It was OK for the price I payed. It's clean but not up to date. The mattress is unbelievably soft. They give you a voucher for a free beer for the pub downstairs. I can't complain about anything. If you're looking for a place to sleep while touring the city - this is good. If you're looking for a nice vacation hotel to kick back and relax or want a modern room...

Their service was really good. I liked the way they treated us during our stay. The rooms look great too!

Internet was very bad. Might be more facilities like toothbrush and toothpaste, slippers. No elevator for 4th floor. No tea or other food services :(

Clean room comfortable bed helpful staff only issue no lift so I travelled with a friend with health condition so by end of week she was feeling it from the stairs other than that great stay. Plenty of shops supermarkets coffee shops bakery pubs couple minutes walk

Very nice and helpful staff. The room was clean even if kind if old. But totally Ok. 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. The area is full of cafeterias, restaurants and shops.

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

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

Clean tooms, basic amenities, perfect location.

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.

Clean room, great location, quiet, bathroom small, beds good

Reasonable stay in good location. Ok stay in a great location. Quiet when windows closed so decent night’s sleep. Shower was blocked.

This was a decent overnight stay. It is what it’s advertised a low budget, but clean, safe, and convenient location for a short stay in Koln. No frills, but it had everything I needed for my stay.

The cleaning was very thorough. The building and facilities weren't particularly new, but they were well-maintained, so I had a very comfortable and clean stay. The room also seemed larger than the hotel's official photos. While photos often show things better than they actually are, this hotel was unusually better in person. lol I've stayed in several hotels in Europe, and this one was by far the...

Exceptionally clean room with a comfortable bed 🛏️. Great location for getting around. Little bit of noise from the café on the corner but nothing to bother me. Spotless bathroom and great shower. Perfect for solo travel as we generally put up with a lot of inconvenience for not travelling with someone. I would do recommend this lovely place!

Very good location and very safe area. Comfortable rooms

Very friendly and nice owners,

Was expecting one of the design rooms like my booking was for a design double room. Didn't get that, nothing bad about it but it was just a standard one. Bed was rock solid and cramped into a corner but did the job. Great location. Great price. Receptionists were lovely and welcoming and felt safe.

Very basic place, small but relatively cheap. Bring your own toiletries and earplugs as it was noisy on a Saturday night outside.

Great for the price, super close to the centre, clean room and comfy bed

6/2025 + position (close to the office) an in a nice area well linked to city center by tram. + cleanliness. + comfy mattress. + good restaurant in the same property. - curtains were ineffective in blocking sunrays, in the early morning there was already full light. - noisy due to traffic just in front of the room, even if the good quality windows helped in reducing the noise. - staff is available...

First time in germany and this was a great place to stay. Close to family there so that helps. The tram is down the road so easy to get to the centre of cologne. Its in a bit of a suburb of cologne, there are a couple of bakeries, a supermarket and pizza restaurant. Its not the best area but reasonably priced and has alot of good points. Easy to get into the hotel, welcomed by a staff member who was...

Just to say myself and my daughter had a fab time at the hotel Location is ideal for tram to central cologne Rooms were spotless Very quiet Staff very pleasant and professional Regards Linda

It’s a good value for money hotel. Good location, easy to walk to the train station and reach the center. The rooms are clean and tidy. Service is ok, it’s actually a restaurant, hotel is kind of extra for the enterprise. I recommend the hotel

We had a stay at Zagreb for an upcoming concert. Rooms standard, coffee facility there in the room. With closed windows not much noise from the street. We just missed one or two plug sockets more and one more beside table. And the shower cabin could be more modern. Stay was pleasant. Restaurant was good. The 2 person plates are quite big. We would come again any time and it is recommendable. 👍

Because of Covid-19, I only have had the experience of the food being delivered. This restaurant really makes great German food. I had the champignon medaillons and ooh my.. it tastes so good! The panna cotta is also amazing. Absolutely worth it.

Old old dirty hotel, nothing works - any lamps in the room, air conditioner. Bed is ok but it’s not a double bed but two small put together. We stayed there because it was very short notice and because of the Christmas season hight prices for good hotels around

This hotel was perfect for me! It has a nice view on the sky terrace and the staff were all very friendly ☺️

Not suitable with kids the place is gud near station and cathedral but the hotel in it is to dirty ,no aircon or electric fan,no ref.

Location very strategic. Near to a very lively hood. Worth for money

Very close to the city Centre and able to walk around and get back to hotel fast. Enjoyed the ease of accessible accommodation

Location is good. However the room is small especially the single bed. Is good for those just staying for 1N. Near to attractions, restautants/cafes/, shopping area.

My husband and I visited this hotel while on a cycle trip across Europe. We had a nice big room. It has everything you need, hairdryer, tv also a coffee machine. Location was good, close to restaurants shops, bars etc. Breakfast was good. The management was friendly. We slept well.

An Experience that I would not like to repeat. The stuff let's you wait, when you need something, the room isn't so great and the floor is squeaking.

Rooms are amazing. Unfortunately, I visited during carnival to there was some friction at the check in time, as there was a note stating check in won't happen until 4pm, when the reservation stated it was available at 2pm. Also, I was told breakfast was served at 8am (which I had pre paid when booking), but the next morning I woke up to a note that said it won't be until 9. I assume the carnival had...

The rooms may seem small, but clean and efficient! In their restaurant you must try their Burgers and especially the Kotelett Von Schwein! Better than the United Ststes where I come from...kostlich!!!

The staff is friendly. The carpet in the room need cleaning. The TV did not work for the 2 days I was there. The nearest public transporation is 15 to 20 minutes away and the neighborhood is not walkable. The cleaners will bang on your door aggressively, repeatedly. The free breakfast is good.

Location is perfect if you need a place close to the highway. And still it is quite, a forrest close by, restaurant next door. The place is clean, rooms are proper sized. Really good value for money!

Very good value for money Nice quiet suburban location Room a little small but clean and comfortable bed Very nice German breakfast Friendly staff The Italian restaurant a 2 minute walk away was very good (Rocco's)

Quiet and lovely hotel! Next to the city!

Clean and large room. Friendly staff. Parking not included in the price anymore, like it was in the past!

-Big room keys (leave them with front desk when you leave hotel) -Good breakfast buffet -11-minute walk to train (stop "Brück Mauspfad") -Fast wifi -Located in a cute German suburb. Walk around. -SUPERB Thai restaurant nearby ("Thai Meti") - make reservations

Nice property in student accommodation block

Wonderful experience! the location is great, easy to reach the local transport infrastructure and quick self-service check-in with no wasting time upon arrival for getting a key. The rooms are stylishly designed (look even better than in the pictures that was quite a surprise), the kitchen facilities have all the necessary stuff to make breakfast or even to cook.. Clean, quiet area, comfortable double...

The rooms are nice and clean. Feels like a studio. I like the location being right by the grocery store (REWE) and several cafes, bakeries, and dining options. It’s right by the train station. There’s also tons of walking paths nearby. We walked all the way to the famous cathedral. The only down side is there is no one at the reception and it is self check in. My code was not working and my international...

The location is perfect, checking in and accessibility are not a problem. The surroundings are a bit marginal, cleanliness so-so. The rooms are functionally furnished. An alternative to the three-star standard, but unfortunately with some drawbacks.

Not your typical hotel. There's no staff in case you have a question, or need something. You are provided with sparse amounts of Soap, towels, blankets, and had just one pillow. Decent sized room, and the bed was comfortable.

Prima accommodatie. Is even zoeken waar de ingang is. Wordt niet met een bordje of iets aangegeven. Ingang is bij de Unicenter op de hoek van het gebouw. Je moet de receptie/doorman vragen om deur te openen naar de liften/ingang van het hotel. Verder ging het inchecken met de machine prima. Kamer was ruim en netjes. Tram opstapplaats is aan de overkant en makkelijk te nemen.

Stayed recently in this hotel and everything was great. The staff were very friendly and the room was always clean. The breakfast exceeded our expectations since this is a budget friendly hotel. The tram stop to the center is walking distance.

I only checked the reviews for this place after making the booking, and thought that I had made a grave mistake given the low scores. This was very far from the case and I'm baffled by the reviews of others on here. The room was great. It's not the Ritz, but it is also not the price of the Ritz, and everything worked and it was clean (high pressure shower, comfy bed). Breakfast was fresh bread every...

Hotel and reception have a seperate entrance. No lift but but that is not serious problem for a small family run hotel.

Good affordable hotel about a fifteen minute walk from the center of Cologne. Clean renovated rooms. With good beds. There is no elevator to that hasn't been a problem for me. Breakfast is simple but tasty. You can park near the hotel in one of the parking lots on the banks of the Rhine.

Hotel amenities are just what you need, the rooms are very clean. It's a nice modest hotel with a family business vibe. Very friendly and nice owners! It's much better to choose these small businesses over big hotel chains imho. The breakfast was also surprisingly good, not a wide selection but of good quality.

Basic room but very welcoming, great location, friendly staff (they left us a go-bag since we had to leave before breakfast was available) and in general a great value for the price.

Nice hostel for sleeping with your friends if you can book a full room. Location is close to the center. The hostel is very affordable, so you can expect it to be minimalistic and if you are a light sleeper you should bring earplugs due to the close tramline. Would recommend if friends are only looking for a place to crash at night.

Good for startup founders who just want to stay overnight, good location, REWE direct opposite. If you close the windows, it won't be too loud. Kitchen, bath, toilette, all clean. Recommended for guys and lads travelling, startup founders. Not recommended for family, group of women with high demand in service and parfume.

It was a nice hostel generally, enjoyed the stay there, there is a kitchen with a common space. However it could have been cleaner, there were some crumbs on the floor in the private room when we arrived

It’s a little bit intimidating because it doesn’t have much light in the hallway, but it is well located and it’s ok because it has a really low price. The image/cleanliness could be better though.

Lovely place to have my field trip with my peers there.

Great place! They've been very creative by giving every room a different theme and the owner is awesome. See you next time I'm in Cologne (:

Excellent location, conveniently situated right in front of the train station.

This hotel boasts an unbeatable location right next to Cologne Central Station, making it incredibly convenient for catching trains or exploring the city's attractions. You can walk to the main station and the cathedral in just a few minutes. The room layout is simple and practical, featuring a single bed, TV, and a small table and chairs – everything you need. It's clean and tidy, though the decor...

Great location near main station, staffs very informative. Facilities are good enough.

Hotel was clean and tidy, staff was helpful. Location is perfect (old city + central station with 24h grocery store). Carnaval was fun too🥳

The hotel is right next to Cologne Central Station and very close to Cologne Cathedral. We arrived early, dropped off our luggage, and went to explore the city. The room was spacious, and they even gave us two bottles of water, which was a nice touch!

Right outside the train station, literally 30 meters away, which is incredibly convenient. Whether I'm on a business trip to Europe or just traveling here, I always make it a point to book a hotel near the central station, and this one is the perfect choice. It's super easy for transportation and shopping. I stayed in a single room; it was clean, tidy, and well-designed, making for a very comfortable...

Great location, helpful staff.

The location is perfect! Just few minutes walk to shopping street, good restaurants, and public traffic. They have their private parking with a gate. The room is clean and spacious. The breakfast is good with the 15€ charge.

Breakfast nothing special, not worth the price. The hotel was good, nothing special but had cute "old lady living room style"

It’s my second Tante Alma stay and first in this location. I appreciate the elaborate concept and its consistency across all their houses. It might not be everybody’s cup of tea but it works for me. Comfy mattress, pillow could be better (and smaller), but hey - for this price, all good! Also a fridge in the room is a plus, but sadly a kettle was missing. Location couldn’t be more perfect, very central...

Loved it, the hotel is in a great location, the room was clean and the bathroom well equipped with both a shower and bath. There was a bank, kiosks and plenty of bars and cafes nearby. Would definitely return to this very quirky and homely hotel.

Location good and close to U Area around hotel a bit busy and seedy but cologne is like that. East to get to from the U

Made for a decent place to stay if you’re not looking for luxury! Not far from the cathedral or the train station.

The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. The location is close to train station and landmarks within walking distance.

Our team visited Cologne for Trade Fair and explored the hotels around there. Finally we found this hotel match our need with quality , location and budget set. Our score for this hotel 1). Room cleanliness : 10/10. 2). Location : 9/10. 3). Breakfast : 9/10. 4). Staff service : 10/10. 5). Value of money : 9/10.

It's very affordable, and the location is convenient — only an 8-minute walk to Cologne Cathedral.

Great location, close to Cologne Cathedral. The facilities are basic, almost like a hostel, with no elevator and no kettle. We booked a double room, which was a decent size. During exhibition periods, the room rates are very high, and the facilities don't match the price. However, it's fairly clean, and you can get free water, tea, and coffee downstairs. Luggage storage is also available. For business...

The hotel is situated at around 5 minute walk from the Train Station. We arrived the hotel by a late ICE train at night, there is no problem regarding safety or ease of access. The reception is 24 hours manned, and has a self-service drink kiosk which you find rare to be free on European budget hotel chains. Overall lovely staff and big hotel. Note this hotel has only stair access, but to be fair for...

The staff were always friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean. The biggest plus was the fantastic breakfast!

The room was spacious and very clean. The shower room was a little small, but the water pressure was excellent. The breakfast buffet was also delicious!

Please pay attention to the check-in time. It's an older hotel located on a slightly dark alley. Self-check-in is available, but I was surprised to receive an alert email from the hotel, although there were no issues. The food is delicious and I would definitely recommend it.

The location is fantastic - practically across the road from the train station, yet on a quiet side street, which was lovely as the room was very peaceful. I knew beforehand from reviews that one of the buildings doesn't have an elevator, so the steep stairs might be an issue for some. Another thing to note: if you want your room cleaned (or even just the trash emptied), you need to specifically request...

Fantastic, as always. If I may make one comment, there was some black dirt in the seams of the bathtub in the (very small) bathroom (I don't know if it was mold). The lighting in the room was dim, so you could either charge your phone on the bedside table or use the table lamp, but not both. The reserved parking space turned out not to be behind a gate on Domstrasse, as in previous years, but a very...

Same Manager with the hotel Domstein. Very convenient

All is well expect for the noise in the nearby Restaurant. The receptionist is nice and accommodating.

I would say this is most probably the cheapest stay in town with great breakfast. The location is bear to chocolate museum and shopping street. It’s a 20 minute walk to the cologne cathedral.

Very nice hotel with basic breakfast. Rooms and bedding very clean. Location is excellent. Only 10/15 minutes walk from central station and Cathedral.

Overall, it's pretty good value for money.

A lovely little hotel in a medieval style. The rooms are perfectly adequate for a weekend stay or an overnight trip. A big plus is the excellent breakfast buffet, which starts as early as 6:30 AM. It's also perfect for business trips.

The room was suitable for a short stay, but the bathroom had a slightly strange smell. The room was well-equipped, and although the hotel has an elevator, it was out of order, making carrying heavy luggage somewhat difficult. The breakfast was excellent, with a variety of cold meats, fruit, pastries, yogurt, and delicious toppings.
