From Antiquity to Modernity in Cozy 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 Kolsch 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 November 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 Gluhwein.
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 cozy room for those cool European nights.

The people are INCREDIBLY nice, welcoming, and laid back! And Cologne grows on you like no other European city. Most, you know if you like it or not immediately, but Cologne sneaks up on you and before you know it, you’re sad to leave.

There are plenty of things to do in Cologne, and getting around is extremely easy. You can find a great place to eat at almost every turn. Public transportation is very easy to use, and can get you around Cologne and to the surrounding areas with ease.

Very friendly people who used English very quickly when I got stuck because it was nearly 30 years since I last spoke German! The Cathedral blew me away as did the vastness of the River Rheine. Very easy to get around, public transport was very cheap

Christmas markets only open until 23rd and then most of city closed on 24 and 25. Not conducive for tourists. Markets are mostly about food and drink not really about markets, smaller than we expected.
City is lovely and public transport superb!

There is so much to see in Cologne.
There is so much to see in Cologne. The people are very friendly and helpful when asked questions. The food is wonderful. The Christmas market is the best in that region. So easy to get around or go to other cities via the trains.
“Ultra clean, quiet & modern apartment with nice host. Perfect base to explore Cologne - metro is around the corner and will bring you to city centre in 15 minutes. Also it’s only 10 minutes drive to airport, with plenty of free parking spots in front of the residence.”
“Fantastic small hotel in the city center of Cologne. Very clean hotel and awesome staff which helped us a lot with the tips they gave us. Breakfast was way better than we expected. Its a great value for the money. I highly recommend it!”
“We had one night in Cologne as we trained from Paris to here to catch a flight the next day. I was so so happy the hotel was right behind the train station! The check in was easy and everyone working there was so friendly and helpful. So easy to stay here if the train station is your main coming & going. Train to airport Bonn/Koln was 2 EU pp. What a deal! Highly recommend for ease & value. ”
“The rooms and even the bathrooms are very nicely decorated. It's way nicer than many 4, 5 stars hotels that I know. The room is exactly what I saw when I make my booking online. Bed is very comfortable and I like how you can still have your privacy though you are sharing space with others. Price is very affordable. Will certainly stay here again when I am back in Cologne”
“It was perfect for my purpose of stay. Ubahn was close by and no need to transfer to my destination. The Wirtschaft next door was ideal for entertainment. I would book there in the future.”
“The hotel met all my expectations, i.e. it was like most hotels of its class in Germany, and vastly superior to any similarly-priced hotel in the U.S.”
“The location of the hotel was just perfect. It is 200 mts from the koln Central station and walkable distance from all sightseeing activities in Cologne. The room and bed was big and comfortable.”
“Location close to the Dam. Helpfulness of the staff, and the fact that they provided directions to the parking lot, along with a map, before our arrival. Discounted parking for guests was also a plus.”
“Very close to the Cologne train station (the Cathedral is next to the train station). It took us approx. 5 minutes to walk from the station to the hotel.”
