Perfect location to Cologne Cathedral

I picked this hotel because of its location. 10mins walk from Cologne main station and a few minutes from Cologne Cathedral. The room was perfect for one person and soundproofing was fantastic so I had no problem sleeping. Highly recommended.

Great location on pedestrian street near Dom. Rooms are very small, but clean and reasonably well equipped with fridge and iron and mini ironing board. Some noise from the street and the bells of the Dom, but the soundproofing with the window closed was ok. The air con unit was difficult to use and not super-effective.

Alter Markt is a happening place. Great location for food, nightlife and shopping. At arrival my room AC was broken and they did not have another room for me until the next day. The room is quite small and the bed is quite hard. They do have new double pain windows so the street noise is very minimal. For the rate they charged me (during Gamescom) I would have expected more. But overall it is fine and even very good if the rate is $200-$300 a night but not worth the $500 a night I was paying

Excellent location to all the bars in the old town and the Cathedral and River. Reception staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgable about the area, giving us a map and highlighting the best places to eat and drink. We travel a lot and this is one of the best hotels i have stayed in

Great place to explore Old Cologne

We loved our stay here! We were so close to absolutely everything we wanted to see and do. Even though the hotel is right at the Market Square, it was incredibly quiet. Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed breakast every morning as well.
