It’s clean, easy access, close to train station. We also liked the small water heater in the room and a small fridge. The breakfast was delicious, good amount of cold cut meats, cheeses, fruits, even smoked salmon and other stuff. Everyone will find something. And the lady who worked that day was so so nice. We had a good laugh together! She really made my day.

The area is surrounded by bars, we had a room facing the street so even on a Wednesday it was pretty loud until 3 am. Just keep that in mind. My friend has no issues. Me neither - besides the pillows. They were just too hard for me, but I always have issues.. it’s either too hard or it deflates completely.. Just for everyone to know who also has that issue. I’ll start bringing my own pillow from now on :)

Clean, comfortable, good location.

Breakfast hot dishes were not replenished and sat mostly empty

We have stayed here a few times and although it does not offer the facilities if the big hotel chains it is a great base for a visit to Cologne. For us location, breakfast and comfort are all we want and the Astor scores highly here. The old town is in easy walking distance and good local shops are within a couple of minutes walk. The hotel itself has comfortable, well appointed rooms and now the highlight. The breakfast offering is superb and served in a modern, clean breakfast room. .

Not really something we did not like but more a note for anyone travelling by car. The hotel has on site parking (not nearby as has been shown on booking.com). It is a few steps from reception but it is very limited and quite tight to get in and out of. If you need parking be sure to contact the hotel when booking.

Very good location, city centre is only a short walk away or one or two tram stops. Trams and buses stop nearby, plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops around. Beds were comfortable and room (business double room) was spacious as well. Shower was a bit on the smaller side, but still comfortable enough to shower in. Very friendly staff, always welcoming you with a smile! Loved the haribo sweets as a nice little surprise on the bed

Bathroom is slightly on the smaller side, but still big enough to be comfortable. Duvets were a bit thin too

The location was perfect, local to plenty of lively bars and restaurants, walking distance to the old town, to the Rhine and Cathedral. Just brilliant location. The room itself was perfect too, spacious, comfortable, very clean, perfect sized bathroom, bottle of water in the room. Very comfy bed, perfect duvet and pillows, can’t say enough about how happy we were.

A little noise outside but that’s not the hotels fault and to be honest didn’t hinder sleep that much. I am a very light sleeper and this is my honest opinion.

The location is really great! Close to all the main shops, many restaurant options, and close to the main tourist points in Cologne (DOM) is about 15 min on foot. The breakfast has a lot of options. The staff is very friendly!

Nothing really to mention.

Would come back to this hotel!! The hotel is amazing, small cozy and clean, the staff were friendly and accommodating!The location is great everything is nearby, metro just a couple minutes away, I could walk to Hiroshima-Nagasaki park in the morning it was sunny, Cinnamood is at the corner, also REWE(supermarket) is 5mins away, during my stay it was sunny so I could walk from the Cathedral to the hotel.

Very polite and efficient staff. Calm hotel, quiet inside and outside, no noise and easy for a comfortable sleep. The room was spacious and clean. It included facilities for instant coffee and tea and there was a fridge, very useful. There was also a complimentary bottle of water. The bathroom was very clean and provided for basic necessities. The shower cabin was somewhat small but not a huge inconvenience and the water pressure was great. Plenty of hot water too. In all, a perfect stay! We wanted to go to a concert at the Gloria and this was very convenient, a mere 5 minute walk. Lots of places to eat around the neighbourhood. I later found out there's also a parking for a good price. Perhaps this could have been advertised a bit more openly, as I wasn't aware and used the big parking up the street instead. But the big parking close by is also a good thing.

This is an exceptional lovely hotel in a good location not far from Dom, we could see it from the window and enjoy the sound of the bells in the morning. We stayed in a spacious cosy room on the top floor. On the day of arrival there was a bottle of water and some sweets in our room provided by the hotel. The personnel of the hotel is very friendly and attentive. Fresh flowers on the tables in the restaurant.

All was great. The only thing we missed during our stay - strong coffee for breakfast.

We have stayed in this hotel many times but not for the last ten years as have tried others in Cologne. Thought it was time to go back and it was a good decision. From the street it is not very impressive. It is on a narrow side street with a small terraced frontage with a roll up door garage entrance. Don't be put off by that. It is a super base for a Cologne visit. If you are travelling by car the first job is to walk the ten paces into reception to ask them to open the garage. Once inside, your car is securely parked within a few paces from the side door to the hotel. Reception staff are really helpful and check in takes but a moment. Our standard room was a few metres from the lift and stairs so no long corridors and the first (and lasting) impression of the room was very good. Very smart decor and the largest double bed known to man. My wife joked that she would have to phone me to talk in the night. A couple of chairs and desk and plenty of storage for clothes. A small TV (with BBC channels), tea and coffee making, plenty of sockets for charging kit and room to move around without falling over each other. The small shower and toilet room had almost boiling hot water within a second or two of turning the tap and a door opened out to a small balcony. No view other than the back of other buildings but useful for smokers. Location is good for easy walking access to the huge town centre shopping and Dom. The old town is a little further away. Just about OK for my 75 year old legs though. Now to the last big plus. The breakfast. The largest selection of breakfast items to be found in a hotel. A selection of cheeses and meats plus smoked salmon slices and too many other items to mention covers all tastes plus fresh coffee served in china pots at the table. All in a very clean modern breakfast room. Finally. The only hotel we have used since COVID that still cleans the room and makes the bed every day !!
