The hotel where everything is 5 star: hospitality, breakfast, room, and location. We really enjoyed our 2 night visit. The hotel is really small and therefore really quiet as well. The hosts really make you feel welcome and are so helpful. Our stay at Stern am Rathaus was the cherry on top of our Cologne visit!

I had a wonderful stay at this small boutique hotel. The staff were all wonderfully friendly and very helpful (even when I was completely clueless haha). This was my first solo international trip and they couldn’t have made me feel more at home in beautiful Köln. I sincerely look forward to my next stay at the Stern am Rathaus.

Excellent stay at the Stern Am Rathaus. Centrally located with close walking proximity to the main train station, cathedral, shops and restaurants. Excellent staff including Ingmar, Francisco, and Clare were all wonderful. Highly recommended, great service!

This was a lovely hotel in a great location. Easily walkable to anything you’d want to see in Cologne. The staff was absolutely amazing. Francisco and Kai were friendly and attentive. My family and I traveled throughout Germany this vacation, visiting 8 cities and my stepson declared Cologne to be his favorite stop - no doubt due to Francisco and Kai. We can’t wait to return!

This is such a wonderful hotel! Ingmar and Andy were so wonderful and welcoming! They really go out of their way to make your comfortable here, and Ingmar was so helpful with his tips. I was only able to stay in Cologne for one night, but I wish I could've stayed longer. There's a lovely breakfast offered, and I feel like this hotel makes a sincere effort at providing attention to personalized customer service! Location, service, comfort; this hotel has it all!

Wow, I haven't stayed in a hotel with this level of convivial service and welcoming atmosphere since "the before times."
Andy, the proprietor, is truly a gem, someone who clearly loves their job and does it with kindness and care.
The rooms are spacious for a standard size, and everything is thoughtfully designed, even if the aesthetics are a bit utilitarian (though this is Cologne, there aint much of the pre-war grandeur left). The breakfast is bountiful and cookies are on offer all hours of the day.
I didn't know what to expect from our Cologne weekend adventure, but I can tell you it was delightfully influenced by the loveliness of the folks at Stern am Rathaus.

With a last minute booking to Cologne we could not have made a better choice. Excellent location from central station, slept smoothly in the great bed and enjoyed a great breakfast.

The staff were very welcoming from the moment we arrived. We were invited to their social hour which included free drinks and Christmas biscuits. The room was excellent and had a kettle, which is unusual in Europe. We also had a fridge. Just around the corner from the nearest Christmas market, and just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Breakfast was excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in this small city hotel.

A wonderful little boutique hotel. Both Francisco and Carla (spelling?) went over and above to answer our questions about the history of the area and the hotel. Very comfortable, Very quiet. Superb breakfast !!!
The only negative is that there is no elevator. They will help with the luggage but it will be difficult with someone with mobility issues.
Thank you again for a great stay!

This is a very nice little hotel in Köln. The hotel seems brand new on the inside. It is very clean, well decorated, quiet, comfortable, and the staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is great, many options, including fresh ones and hot options. Everything is carefully organized. I travel a lot to Cologne, and this was definitely one of the best short stays I've had there. And by far, this is the one with the friendliest staff I have ever experienced. I will stay for sure in this hotel again when coming back to Cologne, which I'll probably will. Only two things to pay attention: 1) reception does not work 24/7 (it only works until 6 p.m. although they make check-in work anytime); 2) as it is common with small hotels in Cologne, there is no elevator (something to be mindful if you have a lot of bags and/or difficulties with staircases).

We were treated like members of the family throughout our stay, from the initial arrival instructions through to helping us with a query about our return train time on the last morning.
Rooms are large by city centre standards, with loads of extras. You can do your bit for the planet by opting to reduce the cleaning routine or by extending the life of your
towels. There is loads of choice for breakfast, with some items cooked to order. We were there for 4 nights, so it was great that the breakfast varied a little from day to day.
The hotel is very close to the station and many museums and other attractions. There are loads of restaurants and cafés in the same area.
