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.

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!

Ein kleines gemütliches Hotel mit familiärer Atmosphäre. Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter und ein traumhaftes Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr schnell vom Hbf aus zu erreichen, die Innenstadt und viele Restaurants und Museen sind in Laufweite. Trotzdem ist es nachts sehr ruhig, da das Hotel in einer kleinen Seitenstraße liegt.

Hidden Gem
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.

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!
