Uhu Gästehaus Superior

9.1/10

Posted on Jan 3, 2026

The hotel location was great, and so close to the subway for easy transport into the city. When I made the reservation, it did not indicate that parking was an additional fee, just that there was parking. Not that parking was very much, but I don't recall seeing a fee posted on the booking website, and it was jusy unexpected. The room was sufficient- a tiny bit smaller than expected. And the room had a slight sour smell, not sure if it was mildew or just stuffy from the winter west weather, but we were only there one night, so we didn't fuss. The check-in staff spoke less english than expected, but was okay, as my Deutsch was just good enough we could meet in the middle. Breakfast was a good spread and the attendants were plenty.

When I was checking in, I was a little worried the staff would be unable to speak English. However the two receptionists who helped me were perfectly fluent and answered any questions I had. I did unfortunately have to pay a city tax on top of my room, but it wasn’t expensive and this is a common thing in most hotels in Europe. The room itself was pretty decent and had plenty of space for my suitcase and to walk around. The en-suite was great and had good towels and hot shower. The bed was comfy with a good mattress and duvet wise, but the pillows were a bit limp and didn’t have a lot in them. I spoke to another member of staff who spoke little English, who said he’d look and bring one to my room, but this never happened. Whatever the case, still had a good sleep, would have better with extra head comfort. As for breakfast, there was a great variety of choice from fry-up food (bacon, sausages, eggs) to continental pastries and drinks. I would say the only downside was there was not enough for fruit, as there was only a few apples and plates of sliced oranges. Would have been better if there was more to choose fruit wise, but everything else was great and was a good fuel up for the day in Cologne. When checking out, they also allowed me to place my luggage and bags in their storage room with zero charge which is great when you’re exploring for the day and have a later departure time. Overall, if you’re in Cologne for a day (like me) or two, this place is a great option and I would stay here again!

The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the train station, which is very convenient. It's close to the street, so there's some noise at night, requiring windows to be kept shut. There's a balcony, which is pleasant for a breeze in the morning and evening, offering views of the train station and Cologne Cathedral. The room is relatively clean, and the front desk staff are very nice. The Three Gu Maocai restaurant nearby downstairs has good food.

The location was excellent, next to main railway station, Altstadt and Dom. The room was very clean and comfortable, only the shower was not as expected, the water took hours to empty and one stood over the ankles in the wash water. The rest of the shower and toilet were excellent. The room window was facing a busy thoroughfare, so keeping the windows open in the evening/night was rather noisy, but there was not much choice since there was no air-con. The internet didn't work all the time either, but, with some patience, I got all my work done. Unfortunately, there was no electric kettle either. Overall, I enjoyed my stay there, but I'm not sure whether I'd like to stay there again.

This comment may be a bit long. I come here for check in around 3:30pm, there are a group of elders checking in front me, I waited around 30minutes there. I think the reception is a responsible one but he can either speed up the progress, skip some of the elders questions, and also hotel to consider add one more staff there to support. The long waiting time of check-in delay my travel visit here. The room is very clean, and also new. The place is a little far away by not that far from main city. The room windows are all locked, it is a bit frustrated. The hot water suspended, and when i called reception for 5 times, they finally pick my phone up saying technical issues into 8am , which i have to leave the hotel at 8:15am for my flight... Finally, the breakfast is insanely good! You guys can have a try.

Check-in must be done at a series of hotels, and be careful because there is no front desk in the place displayed on Google Maps and you can't enter directly (breakfast is also another building). I will guide you through the intercom, but I think it would have been smoother if you informed me in advance. There seemed to be several buildings, and the accommodation was also different, but it was divided into a dining room with a kitchenette and a bedroom, so I was able to spend a comfortable time! (although it was completely different from the photo at the time of booking) There is also movement between buildings without elevators, but if you don't mind the area, Cospa is often recommended.

We attended an event at the Cologne stadium, which is within walking distance, about 15-20 minutes away. I've stayed here several times before. I have no complaints at all.

A lovely little hotel in a medieval style. The rooms are perfectly adequate for a weekend stay or an overnight trip. A big plus is the excellent breakfast buffet, which starts as early as 6:30 AM. It's also perfect for business trips.

Great location, very friendly staff, easy checkin and easy to get back to my room even after a late concert. (I arrived around 23pm at the hotel and it was super easy to get inside). BUT my Tv didnt work, I also didnt bother to ask the Staff to get it fixed bc I only stayed for 1 night so maybe they would've fixed it idk. Everything was clean EXCEPT the shower curtain. There was a tiny drop of dried blood. Disgusting but for the rest it was good for the price.

Central Hotel am Dom - Köln City

6.1/10
Posted on Aug 27, 2026|Quadruple Room
RUMaria Feel
The hotel is very conveniently located, 3-5 minutes from the central train station. The hotel itself has several buildings. Ours was in the building next door; you had to walk down the hallway, go outside, and then go back up to the 4th floor. There's no elevator. We had a bunk room for four with two double beds. The second room is in the attic. The room was moderately clean, a bit shabby. This is despite the hotel opening in 2026. Apparently, it was a different hotel or some kind of apartment before that. The beds were very comfortable, the mattresses were excellent, the towels were new and clean. The nightstands were okay. The kitchen only had a sink and cabinets with doors that had fallen off. There were no dishes or a kettle. The bathroom door slammed into the coat stand when opened. The view from the window was excellent, directly onto the church. Overall, we're very grateful to this hotel, as it saved us. We accidentally ended up in Cologne during an international gaming festival at the end of August, and all the hotels were either fully booked or had exorbitant prices. This hotel was reasonably priced. Staying there for just one night was a real stroke of luck. We hope the hotel team can work out the room's shortcomings and improve even more! Good luck!
