FAQs about hotels in Cologne

From Antiquity to Modernity in Cosy Cologne

Founded by the Romans in 38 BC and idyllically located on the Rhine River, Cologne offers the perfect blend of historical and modern Germany. There’s no place more picturesque to drink a Kölsch beer and eat a schnitzel than on the banks of the River Rhine. Here you’ll find the Altstad, or Old Town, with the impressive Cologne Dom on the skyline.

Visitors to Cologne in February can dance the days away at the Carnival Parade. In December, no trip to Cologne’s magical Christmas markets is complete without a steaming mug of Glühwein.

The charm extends to other seasons as well, thanks to the medieval wonders of the Cologne Cathedral and the Twelve Romanesque churches. Learn about the city’s history at the Roman-Germanic Museum or take a postmodern approach at Museum Ludwig. Whether historic or culinary, a trip to the Chocolate Museum can complete any tour.

Booking.com offers 260 different accommodations, ranging from apartments to mid-budget hotels to guest houses. So whether you’re stepping out of a plane at the Cologne Bonn Airport or a shop on Hohe Strasse, you will be sure to have a cosy room for those cool European nights.

    All the sights and sounds were a delight.

    All the sights and sounds were a delight. But it is a large city and has a homelessness problem around the main station - did not spoil the trip but was very sad to see. Also, go to Wuppertal for the overhead railway, only 30 minutes train ride from Koln

    2 days walking around was very easy and this is a city easy to navigate, don't miss the chocolate museum, plenty of other museums to check out as well as the old cathedral and churches. make sure you try some of the many Kolsch's available if you like beer, and check out Peter's Brewery though bookings may be necessary as this is a popular place with locals.

    Cologne is a charming city with a rich history, but in terms of sightseeing and activities, it feels more like a short stopover than a destination for an extended stay. The iconic Cologne Cathedral is definitely worth visiting — it’s an architectural masterpiece and the standout attraction in the city. The surrounding old town is pleasant for a walk, with some cozy cafés, bars, and local shops. However, beyond that, there isn’t a whole lot to see or do. The city center is relatively small, and most major sights can be comfortably explored in a day or two. If you're someone who enjoys museums, there are a few decent options like the Ludwig Museum (for modern art) or the Roman-Germanic Museum, but they’re not must-sees unless you're particularly interested in those topics. Overall, Cologne is a nice city for a quick visit — great for a weekend trip or a short stop between other destinations in Germany. Just don’t expect a wide variety of attractions or experiences. It’s cozy, convenient, and has a laid-back vibe, but it likely won’t fill more than 1–2 days of your itinerary.

    Nice city, some good architecture, loved the harbour area, and the Old Town. Boat trip better than the bus tour, in part due to the traffic in the city. Nearly everyone spoke English so communication was very good. Cathedral is magnificent and amazing it was not damaged during the war. Tourist information office nearby who were very helpful.

    We only stayed overnight on this trip, but Cologne was very busy with crowds everywhere. A lot of stag and hen do's. We have stayed in Cologne before for the Christmas markets, The first time was wonderful, magical even. We went back some years later and it was horrendous. So crowded, you couldn't move for people and were being constantly pushed. Cologne at Christmas has become a victim of its own success. Having said that Cologne is a wonderful city with plenty to see and do. I would think that probably the best time to visit would be Spring or Autumn.

    I was disappointed by the impressive Cathedral (in terms of high towers) but which lacks of harmony and is black from pollution. I appreciated the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and a guided tour of the Gestapo HQ in Koln. Walking in Altstadt and Neumarkt was fine as it was to cross the Rhine river through a bridge of a multitude of lockers. I advice too the Kolsch beer. Hopperina

    This boutique hotel is less than 10 minutes walk from Kölner Dom and Cologne Main Train Station. We've been given one of their newly renovated rooms which we found pleasing and stylish. Separate shower and toilet with Rituals toiletries! Beds are comfortable..not too soft and hard. Cons: The hallway is dark. Maybe additional lighting would enhance more the hallway decors.

    acom-Hotel Cologne was located in a great place to visit the Cathedral and city centre. Although it was next to the train station you could hardly hear the trains from the room. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was clean with clean linen provided. It had a small bar fridge when made it easy to store breakfast food. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Centro Hotel Royal said "we will not be officially running the houses as a hotel in 2024 and will therefore not be available. We will therefore rebook you to the partner Hotel Boutique 003 in Cologne". So we stayes at Boutique 003. The location of the hotel was excellent. The size and cleanliness of the room were above my expectations. Everything was fine.
