This was a lovely hotel in a great location. Easily walkable to anything you’d want to see in Cologne. The staff was absolutely amazing. Francisco and Kai were friendly and attentive. My family and I traveled throughout Germany this vacation, visiting 8 cities and my stepson declared Cologne to be his favorite stop - no doubt due to Francisco and Kai. We can’t wait to return!

This is such a wonderful hotel! Ingmar and Andy were so wonderful and welcoming! They really go out of their way to make your comfortable here, and Ingmar was so helpful with his tips. I was only able to stay in Cologne for one night, but I wish I could've stayed longer. There's a lovely breakfast offered, and I feel like this hotel makes a sincere effort at providing attention to personalized customer service! Location, service, comfort; this hotel has it all!

Ein kleines gemütliches Hotel mit familiärer Atmosphäre. Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter und ein traumhaftes Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr schnell vom Hbf aus zu erreichen, die Innenstadt und viele Restaurants und Museen sind in Laufweite. Trotzdem ist es nachts sehr ruhig, da das Hotel in einer kleinen Seitenstraße liegt.

Hidden Gem
Wow, I haven't stayed in a hotel with this level of convivial service and welcoming atmosphere since "the before times." Andy, the proprietor, is truly a gem, someone who clearly loves their job and does it with kindness and care. The rooms are spacious for a standard size, and everything is thoughtfully designed, even if the aesthetics are a bit utilitarian (though this is Cologne, there aint much of the pre-war grandeur left). The breakfast is bountiful and cookies are on offer all hours of the day. I didn't know what to expect from our Cologne weekend adventure, but I can tell you it was delightfully influenced by the loveliness of the folks at Stern am Rathaus.

The staff were very welcoming from the moment we arrived. We were invited to their social hour which included free drinks and Christmas biscuits. The room was excellent and had a kettle, which is unusual in Europe. We also had a fridge. Just around the corner from the nearest Christmas market, and just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Breakfast was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in this small city hotel.

A wonderful little boutique hotel. Both Francisco and Carla (spelling?) went over and above to answer our questions about the history of the area and the hotel. Very comfortable, Very quiet. Superb breakfast !!! The only negative is that there is no elevator. They will help with the luggage but it will be difficult with someone with mobility issues. Thank you again for a great stay!

Great service and a fabulous breakfast!
We were treated like members of the family throughout our stay, from the initial arrival instructions through to helping us with a query about our return train time on the last morning. Rooms are large by city centre standards, with loads of extras. You can do your bit for the planet by opting to reduce the cleaning routine or by extending the life of your towels. There is loads of choice for breakfast, with some items cooked to order. We were there for 4 nights, so it was great that the breakfast varied a little from day to day. The hotel is very close to the station and many museums and other attractions. There are loads of restaurants and cafés in the same area.

You wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Cologne
This hotel is absolutely perfect for a stay in Cologne. Turn left out of the hotel and walk 20 yards to steps that lead down the side of the Rathaus and into the AltMarket.. Turn right out of the hotel and you are at the Dom in just a few minutes. Not only is the location excellent, the staff are brilliant too. Keen to make sure your stay is the best it can be.. Breakfast was an absolute delight with a number of little touches including scrambled eggs if wanted, home-made cherry pancakes and a great selection of rolls, hams, cheeses, toast, coffee etc. Ingmar and the team are just excellent.

Wonderful stay in Cologne, thanks Clara & Kai
Comfortable, modern, and spacious room with modern amenities right in the heart of Cologne. The breakfast was great and thanks. We were well taken care of by Clara and Kai. They were both so friendly and helpful. The only negatives was we were on the top floor with no elevator. Also we had a loft suite and were comfortable on the main floor with great AC but it did not reach the loft suite upstairs.
