One market, Nikolausdorf, was just down the street from the hotel. The staff member who checked us in was very nice, and when we asked for extra pillows, he brought them up to our room. We booked the hotel online and did have to pay a small local tax upon check out, but it was less than ten euro. The hotel was incredibly quiet, which made for two great nights of sleep. The large bed is two single beds pushed together, and in true German fashion, two duvets. I was super warm when I slept because I just wrapped myself up in the duvet. Plus, with two separate beds, I didn't hear when my husband got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The room had a small fridge, which we used for sodas that we bought from the REWE grocery store a few doors down. The shower was great and the bathroom had all of the necessary toiletries (shampoo, lotion, body wash, hand soap). We didn't try the breakfast or gym/sauna, so I can't comment on those. We got enough exercise walking to and from the Christmas markets and around the city, and we ate breakfast at the local bakery. I would certainly stay here again, and if any of my friends are visiting Köln, this hotel is close to everything the city has to offer, including Kölner Dom, public transit, markets, and wonderful restaurants.

Very nice location, free taxi to and from the Galieriehaus and Malerinkel at any time. English speaking staff, very accommodating to my schedule. I had an early Saturday morning checkout before their breakfast starts and they very nicely made me coffee and let me start breakfast early. Very happy customer would definitely use again.

Every month the menu was updated with traditional German dishes but also specialities during hunting season or asparagus and chanterelles periods. The food was of high quality and the portions were OK. The service was friendly and quick. I warmly recomment the hotel and restaurant for a visit.

The menu and wine list has just been upgraded. If you are looking for a good value place to stay that is friendly and has more character than the usual chain hotels in the Dusseldorf/Koln area then it is a great choice.

It's very conveniently located to the Dom, the markets by the cathedral and Heinzel's Market. The rooms are very comfortable, the staff is helpful and the breakfast is nice. The elevator was out of service when we visited (late November 2025) but the stairs are not too steep and decently wide enough for luggage and passing by someone else. There is no dedicated parking but there is a public garage a few blocks away. All in all a very nice stay.

Notably the main entrance is stairs only but there are side doors that are handicap accessible and make suitcases much easier as well. I'm seeing a lot of negative comments from Bonvoy members that are frankly a little embarrassing on some review sites... These rooms seemed in line with European hotel room standards and were impeccably clean, and comfortably appointed. In a very old building things like AC will often be impossible and that's really something you should look into before staying somewhere if it's important to you. Similarly when transitioning a very old building for a new purpose, not every room will have ample windows! Our room had one which worked fine for our needs. For us, there was a little confusion because we thought that breakfast was optional to include as titanium members (usually there is an option to add breakfast as a welcome benefit for higher status members), but this was a miscommunication and while a bit of an unpleasant surprise to be met with the bill at the end of our stay, understandable and not a detriment to our overall experience. I do think the hotel would benefit from clarifying if they offer a welcome benefit and outlining it very clearly, but that is really my only criticism. Our bathroom thankfully had a real and functioning door although I agree that some door choices in European hotels can leave privacy to be desired. Overall we were very pleased, really appreciated the convenient location, and found the hotel to be charming, and the staff to be helpful and pleasant. Definitely encourage you to stay here and take advantage of the easy public transit nearby!
