We enjoyed the 4 day, 3 night stay. The property was well equipped with facilities. Monika und Klaus also offered us some fresh apples off the backyard, and they were delicious. The setup on the terrace was very relaxing.

I had the most wonderful stay at Stern am Rathaus in Cologne. From the moment I arrived, the owners were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making me feel right at home. Even though I checked in late, the process was seamless, and throughout my stay they were quick to respond to any questions I had. The room was cozy and the bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable—I slept better here than at the nearby 4-star hotel I stayed at earlier, which wasn’t nearly as memorable. Each morning started with a fresh, homemade breakfast buffet, including made-to-order eggs and bacon, which was such a treat. Everything about this hotel felt personal, warm, and thoughtful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend it enough for anyone visiting Cologne.

    Every staff member I met was very friendly and willing to help. I liked the coffee, that you can drink for free in the "living room". Also, the location is perfect near the city center and the central station. The price was very affordable, a great deal overall for the price.

    Had a great time here. Well equipped apartment. Very clean, access was easy, great location, super kind and friendly hosts. As others have mentioned, yes, the shower and loo are outside the apartment but it’s not a big deal as they’re right next to it. Even if there’s a class, you don’t have to go through the yoga studio itself or something. With your door closed, you also won’t hear anything from the studio during sessions. Would definitely stay again!
