Return stay at this beautiful hotel. Right across from the cathedral and Christmas market. A nice note and snacks were left in the room. The room is a little pricey but worth it.

This is a wonderful hotel right next to Cologne’s majestic Cathedral. The staff was very courteous and helpful. A gem of a hotel in a striking cosmopolitan city by the Rhine. The Bar is a must for a drink before or after dinner.

The hotel is very beautiful and the location is absolutely the best! You go out and see the Koln Cathedral. Staff very friendly, courteous and helpful. The only thing that bothered us was that the mattress was way too hard, and the pillows not fluffy at all… which made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. Aside from that, wonderful

It is close to the train station and the busy Cathedral Cologne and there can be some sense of a lot of people - but once you step inside it's a fabulous retreat. Great service, we had a beautiful room. The breakfast is very expensive and just "okay" so go across the street to the Cafe Richard. Close to the "historical sections" and close to the water. Would stay here again for sure.

The hotel nickel and dimes you for every and anything. Not friendly to English speaking people. There is a gorgeous goth cathedral across the street that is definitely worth the visit. Nothing else in walking distance. Shop owners are rude too.

It’s located right in front of the dome and next to the train station so the location was perfect. As a 5 star hotel though, the internet connection was sporadic and I had to ask for tea. There was no complimentary coffee either. And the front desk staff members did their job. The room was rather outdated and showed wear and tear. I hated the big ole’ heavy key, but some might find them charming.

This hotel is across the street from the cathedral and the location is in the heart of the city. You can literally walk from the train station to the hotel in 5 mins or less and this was super convenient as we had luggage with us. The staff was very tentative, helpful and professional. My wife loved the tea time and I highly recommend the 7 course dining experience the food was amazing and we left so full we could barley walk. Overall, I will be staying here again on my next trip.

Very good stay at this comfortable hotel. Expected to be shown to our room, but not a problem, although the sign posting for 110 is poor. Bed slightly too firm for our liking, but room otherwise comfortable. Liked the free minibar. Breakfast on the expensive side, but choice of freshly prepared food was excellent. Only real issue was that bar staff were overwhelmed on Saturday night and we gave up waiting for a drink/snack.

The checkin was very easy. The staff was very helpful and ensured we were comfortable throughout the stay. The valet parking was at both dropoff and pickup. The bar staff were very accommodating and friendly. At checkin, we asked about the christmas markets and were given a map with the locations. This made it easier to navigate around the area. Everyone in the party enjoyed the relaxed environment.

Overall a really amazing hotel. The staff working the front desk and lobby were all exceptionally well-trained and friendly. Our check-in was quick and easy and the room was beautiful and very clean. Lots of room, high ceilings, 2 Juliet balconies, rainfall shower and lovely toiletries. Also, the piano bar is a nice place to get some champagne and beautiful cakes/pastries. We'd definitely stay here again in the future.

What a beautiful place. We were offered an upgrade and agreed but felt the desk person was being a bit underhanded about it. Sure enough, the amount he told us was much less than the outrageous price we paid. We should have checked into it more before we agreed but felt that a 5-star hotel would be more concerned about its pristine reputation than conning foreigners out of some money.

The history of the place and the key to the room is very unique
