Stern am Rathaus

We finished a Rhine River cruise in Cologne and stayed one night prior to moving on to Frankfurt. This hotel is perfectly situated and a short walk from the river, close to the train station and close to the cathedral and restaurants. The room was modern, quiet, and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and helpful as well as accommodating to our needs. Outstanding!

It was a very comfortable, friendly place to stay in the center of town. It was good to be so close to the Cathedral. Little did we know how convenient it would be to the government building where our daughter got married. The staff is fluent in English which was a benefit to us non-German speakers.

This is a very basic hostel like accommodation, located in an excellent area- heart of cologne. But a few issues - no lift, limited time of front desk (so if u reach in the evng after 6pm then it’s a bit diff), no parking at all in front of the hotel (I had cops shout at me for stopping my car (for around 3 to 4 mins) to load my bags).. Breakfast is very very limited - we actually went out n had a supplementary bfast after their bfast. Rooms r very tight for a family with 1 child (12 years). And at this price point there r so many great options in and around this area - there r more than around 15 to 20 decent hotels in this price bracket which all offer similar great location adv but look n feel much better n complete. This place is more of an adjustment right thru. Even bathrooms so small - n open shower so everything gets drenched.

We completely adored this hotel. The hotel employees were so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They had good recommendations which made our trip more enjoyable. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location really can’t be beat.

Hotel and service/staff were excellent. Great location too.
