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 Cathedral is breathtaking!
The Cathedral is breathtaking! And I HIGHLY recommend a meal at Oma's Kitchen just a few blocks away. Every time we travel to Cologne, this is where we chose to eat... Just like my Oma's kitchen! <3

Loved the Cathedral -- the tour is worth taking.
Loved the Cathedral -- the tour is worth taking. The Wallraf art museum and the Romanisch Germanisch museum also were very good. Chocolate museum was interesting but not top of my list. Mederrano restaurant was excellent!

Cologne was a great surprise.
Cologne was a great surprise. Just a short 3 hr train ride from Amsterdam through the country side. It was very nice. The Cathedral was amazing and the food delicious. It was very easy to walk around. From Cologne you can take the tram and go to Bonn in very short time, which is another beautiful European town.
“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. ”
“Great location! I was able to explore so much of Cologne because everything was so close to the hotel. Room was pretty comfortable but granted, I did get a 3 bed set-up even though I was a solo traveler. I actually requested to add another day to my stay and the friendly man who I believe owns the hotel was more than accommodating. Free Wifi.”
“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”
“Probably the best breakfast we have had at a European hotel. Room was comfortable and the spa was very nice. Location is wonderful to main sites of Cologne.”
“I choose this hotel because it's quite close to my old apartment in Cologne. I am very familiar with the environment nearby. There are several tram stations close to the hotel. The location of the hotel is fine.”
