A 5-minute walk from Cologne Cathedral and a 9-minute walk from Cologne Central Station, this hotel lies on a side street in the Old Town. It has air-conditioned rooms and free WiFi.

The rooms at Stern am Rathaus feature a flat-screen TV and a desk. A refrigerator, safe and tea and coffee making facilities are provided.

Rarely have I been so impressed by a hotel’s service, cleanliness and comfort. The staff was extremely helpful, starting by providing directions and recommendations for where to go based on the time I had available. When I mistakenly thought the sink had a defect and reported it, the staff came up immediately to try and rectify it. He explained to me how the drainage worked. The breakfast spread was also superb, with a daily homemade dish. For the morning I was there, it was an excellent French toast. The home was compact, clean and comfortable. The lighting and shower systems were also intuitive to use. There was also a nice minibar, though I didn’t use it. All in all, I felt that Stern am Rathaus was the highlight of my stay in Cologne!

Set within 300 metres of Cologne Cathedral and 500 metres of Ludwig Museum, Hotel Sandmanns am Dom features rooms in Cologne. It is also 700 metres away from Romano-Germanic Museum and offers free WiFi. The property is located in the Altstadt-Nord district and Cologne Philharmonic is 700 metres away.

We had a lovely stay here. The location is everything! We were off the train and at the hotel within 5 minutes (or less) walking and it is also right around the corner from the Cathedral - walk 1 minute and you're there! We came to town to explore the Christmas Markets and it was a great base for us. It is a small hotel and nothing fancy but it was very clean and comfortable. We did not eat breakfast there as there are many amazing bakeries around. I would 100% recommend that you book as I know I will stay again if I ever find myself back in Cologne!

Perfect little room for my single travelling. The gentleman at reception was very nice. The lady this morning serving breakfast was so kind and happy. I got to open the advent calendar for today which was a bit of fun. I have been stressed travelling alone, so it was nice to stay in a safe and comfortable place. The breakfast available was amazing. So good.

    Excellent location - veru close to the retail areas and about 15 mins walk to the Dom. Fantastic cafes and restaurants close by but still very quiet. The hotel has a lovely bar area with places to relax and the staff were all very friendly and professional. Travelling alone these things are important!

    Absolutely loved the hotel!! I can’t believe how reasonably priced it was for such a lovely space. Located in a cool little neighbourhood too- close to the station and the Dom! The design of the hotel is so lovely & the whole vibe of the place is relaxed and fun. Love all the communal spaces too! There was also a good gym. Perfect stay!
