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!

Hotel Marsil is a design hotel situated in the heart of Cologne Old Town, just 1 km from the River Rhine and near the art and shopping areas and the Belgian Quarter with its fine restaurants. It offers individually designed rooms and apartments with free Wi-Fi internet.

Small, warm and cozy room that has just everything you need for your stay(the bed was very comfortable)! We had a balcony with a view to one of the cathedrals nearby. The location of the hotel is just perfect - very close to restaurants, bars and public transport. I really like the fact that the owners of the hotel decided to preserve the old wooden staircase of the building(there is an elevator don't worry). The staff of the hotel is great - very friendly and open, they explained us a lot about the surrounding area and places we can visit.

    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!
