Koln, Brügelmannstrasse 7 🧭 Map
Everything was good, clean, and the reception was friendly.
I had a truly pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and professional, always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and fully equipped with everything I needed. The breakfast was varied and of high quality, served in a lovely dining area. The hotel’s location was excellent, offering easy access to local attractions and shopping centers. I...
I stayed at this hotel in July 2025 while attending a conference. It is very suitable for solo travelers. The room is quite small, as shown in the photos on the website, but it has everything you need. Considering the price, it is really a good deal. The hotel is very close to the conference center and just one stop away from Cologne Cathedral.
I noticed some negative reviews about the front desk...
Our experience at this hotel was unfortunately quite disappointing.
First, the lady at the front desk was rude and unwelcoming. When we asked if we could quickly grab something from our bags before storing them in the luggage room, she rolled her eyes at us and acted like we were a major inconvenience.
Besides, one of us had an injury and needed a bandage, but the hotel didn’t even have a basic first...
We stayed in the two-bedroom for one night. I had booked and paid through Booking.com. As in the images, the shower cabin was in the room, the toilet part was separate. There was no problem with cleanliness, the staff at the reception were friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute walk from the tram stop, and it's also practical in terms of transportation.
Greta choice for the price and/ or if you wanna stay close to exhibition center.
Good service

Jugendherberge Köln-Deutz City- Hostel
Koln, Siegesstr. 5 🧭 Map
Rooms comfy clean and hot, but the service of staff on front desk leaves you feeling you wouldn't recommend this .ideal to walk into the main town of koln
Clean, good sized dorms, lockers available, excellent location to the train station, very easy connection to airport. Great location to city centre/cathedral too.
expensive on a Saturday night, but not many other options in Cologne which is a shame as backpackers will likely leave it off their travels because of this.
Hand towel and soap as a basic hygiene measure should be provided in dorms please...
As a person who uses hostels a lot, this one was pretty expensive, there were no plugs near the bed so i had to climb off my bed in order to charge my phone, however the place was clean and staff very friendly.
Breakfast was a let down seeing that the booking was expensive, it was a normal german breakfast with bread, cheese and cold meat. No hot breakfast.
The place is super clean but overall it’s just poor value for money. Minimum expected things were missing: No soap in the bathrooms, no working wifi, no eggs nor real orange juice in the breakfast. No AC or fan in the room and the window can only be opened a bit, so the room gets too warm (don’t come here in summer). Oh and check out time is too early!

Hotel Elite an der Universität
Koln, 26 Meister-Gerhard-Straße 🧭 Map
The two stars, you can see the rooms, of course. However, the staff is really nice and accommodating.
The location: very Central, with links to the Public transport network in about 150 meters.
Ambience: the entrance area and corridors are a little Dark. Overall, a little in need of Renovation but largely clean and functional. Even a small Elevator is available. The rooms are a little shabby and sparse. But it's all there and the condition was fine. Small but full bathroom. TV and free W-Lan access...
I myself have stayed there. Super nice staff, for each of the Cologne visit once the will is actually Ideal. What you need is there.
We would like to thank you for your criticism, but I would like to set the record straight, the HRS-guests ' wishes in General are non-binding.
The room has been modified in consultation with your company.
There is no lighting in the room, that's not true.
Moreover, the efforts of our staff to your entire well containing the same, especially to you.

Centro Hotel Arkadia
Koln, Gaussstrasse, 29-31 🧭 Map
From the outside it does not look that good and tidy but uts very modern on the inside. The rooms are just big enough and everything is very tidy and clean.
Always read the small print. Check in done at another hotel nearby. This hotel is unattended by staff. Can't point my finger on anything good or bad about this place, but there is no doubt it's budget. Then back again at the check in place for breakfast.
Basic room, clean sheets and beds, clean bathroom but small and tile joints are black here and there. Good for spending just a night
The Hotel is actually quite okay. The location is really quite good, especially for Gamescom visitors, or visitors. Right next to the tram stop 18, and 3, in a few minutes at the main train station and thus in the centre of Cologne.
Now to the Hotel itself: The rooms are quite small but still in good condition. The bathroom is clean and you are supplied with shower gel, soap and co. The beds are pretty...
Overall a very nice Hotel with friendly staff. Rooms are clean and enough from the size. TV is ok, and a small Desk is also in there.
It's a nice place if you are thinking to stay two or more days in Khöln. The personal was professional and they were very helpful with their advice about best thing to do there.

Hotel Im Kupferkessel

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...
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.
I liked the establishment, quiet, clean, availability, not far from the city and the Metro. I would say see you next time for my next visit to Cologne. I recommend this establishment to young people who want to visit, it was just cool 👍🏾
Very clean, correct, fast and friendly communication, gladly again. I've been there for the umpteenth time and I'd love to come back. Conveniently located, good places nearby if you want to eat out.
Stayed one night in February. Had to take an oral exam at the Cologne Chamber of Tax Advisors and had to put my suitcase somewhere because I had traveled by train. And that was solved very easily by the hostess, which was really helpful to me!!! Therefore full recommendation, that the room was clean and quiet, the equipment was also completely sufficient, there was a TV but it wasn't used! Downstairs...
Neat clean rooms, but small. No fan or ac in the room, hot days are very much hot inside.

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.

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!

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.
Super friendly service, great food good prices.
Room was spotless clean. I would recommend
it to all.
Good place for 1 night stay. Big enough room and bathroom for 2 person. They also have a good restaurant.

Very nice hotel, close to the center. Just keep your window closed at night during the week because the start working at 7 am. We stayed in the appartement and realy liked it. Very nice to visit Phantasialand (15min away) There is an amazing Chinese restaurant (Orchidee) close by. Just go straight to the center and it's at the roundabout.

Great small Design Hotel with a perfect hostess. Especially the Deluxe room is a dream with its own Sauna.

Koln, Zülpicher Straße 339 50937 Köln,Zülpicher Straße 🧭 Map
The 4th floor penthouse is a nice view but quite a hike up tight stairwells. The ceilings are low and I had to keep ducking (6ft). It had a patio/balcony area. But otherwise didn't offer much..for what it was too expensive.
The place is very clean and looks like it's been recently renewed. The breakfast and the breakfast room are great, it's really warm and cozy, but there's no elevator
Amazing, nice place to stay. We took with breakfast. It's a good apartment..
Room on third floor oriented towards quiet backyard - perfect. Room clean, bathroom ok. Would I recommend it? Yes. For your money you get equal value.
Location decent but far from most of the main attractions. Quadruple room is spacious but has some flaws because of it's in the attic.
Pro's great service, huge triple room , lovely breakfast. Comfortable bed, good value for money.
Con's no on site parking so it took awhile to find a space although the staff where very helpful. Bathroom is functional however it is very small.
Recommended. Got such a good night's sleep!

Hotel Eigelstein

Room size is big, full breakfast, near Cologne Central Station, walkway from station to the hotel is good for carrying the luggages. Hotel allowed to keep the luggage after checking out.
Pls aware that no elevator, and might be inconvenient for heavy luggages.
Staff cannot speaker English, we communicate by body language but it went very well.
Place is okay, breakfast can be better
Friendly staff, good location, great breakfast, recommended.
Good value hotel only a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof. Clean spacious room and bathroom, with a good shower. Wifi was quick to connect and fast enough. The cold breakfast was excellent. Note that there is no lift, and there are four storeys! The staff were all very pleasant. A little noise from the railway and street, but no problem with the windows closed. The area in which the hotel is located...
Friendly staff, rather on the cheaper side, good breakfast, near the town center. Good!
A bit basic, the fact that some rooms are rented by the hour in a red light district and can become quite... noisy and us finding an empty bag of weed and the remnants of a doobie in the planter of our window when we came back from a visit of the town (it wasn't there before),... Bad!
You get what you pay for.
A really great Hotel...very clean, 10 minutes from the Duomo.
We were on Saturday night and it was quiet... we slept very well ( The bed is very good)...we will recommend the Hotel and we will come back again.
The Breakfast is class..there's nothing missing!
Very friendly service...
Thank you!!

Koln, Barbarossaplatz 1 50674 Köln,Barbarossaplatz 🧭 Map
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 (:
Great hostel, very basic but good location! Although I was told I could park here there is no where to park on site. And it cost me more to park then to stay at the hostel.
Location is very good.its near the university so there are a lot of young people in that area. The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were ok. Not the best ever, but if you consider the price-quality is acceptable. Staff was wonderful! And I met great people there!

Very central location - comfy beds - good breakfast! Ideal if you want to rest or party! Everything is close by - highly recommended
I only have good things to say about this hostel. Very warm reception and basically in the city center.
Clean. Modern room. Bright. A lot of windows. It's in the city center (pro and con) so if you open the window it can be noisy (restaurant, motorcycle, police - windows have a good noise cancelling.
Friendly. Breakfast is sufficient. Kids friendly. No air-condition.
Nice terrace.
Visited in spring.
Nothing to complain about.
Simply the best!! 5 stars deserving without a single star!! Perfect location and very friendly, dynamic young team. Indeed a home for a short sojourn. Keep it up!!
Very well situated and the employees were very friendly and helpful.
It was very nice and was very cheap for the location. The only disadvantage is that its very warm with a group in the group.

If you're passing through Colonia, this is a good accommodation option. About 20 minutes from the central station, this hostel has all the necessary amenities. The only downside for me is the lack of air conditioning, which makes it unbearable to sleep in during the hot season, although the fan helps a little. The shared bathrooms were always clean, and they provide towels. As a guest, you get a 1...
Such a great spot would heavily recommend. The rooms were so comfortable and the beds where way bigger than any other hostel Ive stayed in. The bar downstairs is lovely and the whole area around it was great. Staff was super friendly and the whole vibe of the place was great.
Really comfortable, clean and secure. My first solo travel experience and I was anxious about how secure my belongings would be. I couldn't have been happier with the accommodation. For such a popular and busy bar, noise was relatively nonexistent.
I only stayed one short night in that hostel but I wish I could have stayed a bit longer. I booked a dorm in the ballroom one, women only, the booth was great. Comfy and very large bed for one person, tablet/light/plug for the phone, everything I needed once I was up there. I could put my valued belongigs in a closed locker which was really appreciated. The key in the lift to the hostel was given...
I stayed here for 5 nights as a base to explore Cologne and Dusseldorf and Aachen and Trier.
