I had a lovely stay in Stern am Rathaus. Highlights were an excellent breakfast and extra details made by the cleaning staff (such as hanging up my coat and hat for me). One point to note is that the cathedral bells are quite loud, though it wasn't a disturbance.

You MUST stay here if you're visiting Cologne! 😊
This hotel is perfectly located—just steps away from all the major sights and attractions. It backs onto a charming square filled with shops, restaurants, and cafes, and it's right next to the historic City Hall, giving you that authentic Cologne atmosphere right outside your door.
Our room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable—exactly what you want after a long day of sightseeing. But what truly made our stay memorable was the incredible staff. We had the pleasure of interacting with Francisco and Kai, both of whom went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their customer service was outstanding—no request was too much, and they always greeted us with a smile.
Breakfast was another highlight! A great spread overall, but the made-to-order omelettes were especially delicious and worth waking up for.
All in all, this hotel was a perfect home base for our time in Cologne. Highly recommend, and we would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Stern am Rathaus. Andy, Francisco, and Kai were very nice and helpful throughout our entire stay. On our first day, Andy went above and beyond to give us some great recommendations on things to do around Köln. The entire staff was friendly. Hotel was very clean, breakfast was great, location was GREAT! Will be staying here again on our next stay.

Phenomenal hotel

What a truly exceptional hotel! You can tell what pride the staff take in making their guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Francisco especially went out of his way to give recommendations and help with all aspects of my stay. Great location, an easy 5-minute walk to the main train station and cathedral (thanks to clear instructions provided by the hotel in advance). The rooms are cozy, very clean, and very comfortable. And the breakfast buffet is the best I had on my multi-city trip! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

My stay here was delight from start to finish. All of the members of staff I interacted with we exceptionally friendly and kind, the breakfast in the mornings was varied and excellent all around, the room was well equipped and perfect for one person. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located to the main train station and key sights in the city. Can only highly recommend if you are going to be in Köln!

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!

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.

Breakfast was excellent.

Great service and a fabulous breakfast!

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.

You wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Cologne

This hotel is absolutely perfect for a stay in Cologne. Turn left out of the hotel and walk 20 yards to steps that lead down the side of the Rathaus and into the AltMarket..

Turn right out of the hotel and you are at the Dom in just a few minutes.

Not only is the location excellent, the staff are brilliant too. Keen to make sure your stay is the best it can be..

Breakfast was an absolute delight with a number of little touches including scrambled eggs if wanted, home-made cherry pancakes and a great selection of rolls, hams, cheeses, toast, coffee etc.

Ingmar and the team are just excellent.

This is a highly rated property and it is well deserved. The location is right in the centre of Cologne and the hotel is clean and comfortable.

The thing though that really sets this hotel apart is the staff. The people working there are super nice and helpful. Clara at the front desk took the time to provide me with great advice on the things to see in the city beyond just the standard tourist spots and got me a great coffee from their cafe while she arranged for me to get into my room early after having a long international flight. Breakfast was also great, with a range of things like french toast, latte's, etc.

I highly recommend Stern am Rathaus!!!

We stayed 4 nights in the junior suite. The location was around 5 minute walk to the main train station and minutes away from a couple of Christmas markets. The room was clean and comfortable. Our suite had a tub and shower and the bathroom was a very good size. The mezzanine was perfect for our 6 year old son and the view is superb. The breakfast buffet was what I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint! The staff cooked scrambled eggs for us if we didn’t want the boiled eggs. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ingmar and Andy took the time to interact with us and our 6 year old son looks forward every night to coming back to the hotel to look for Ingmar and Andy. They seemed like our long lost friends! We would love to stay here again next time we visit Cologne!

More of a hostel like feel rather than a hotel

This is a very basic hostel like accommodation, located in an excellent area- heart of cologne. But a few issues - no lift, limited time of front desk (so if u reach in the evng after 6pm then it’s a bit diff), no parking at all in front of the hotel (I had cops shout at me for stopping my car (for around 3 to 4 mins) to load my bags)..
Breakfast is very very limited - we actually went out n had a supplementary bfast after their bfast.
Rooms r very tight for a family with 1 child (12 years). And at this price point there r so many great options in and around this area - there r more than around 15 to 20 decent hotels in this price bracket which all offer similar great location adv but look n feel much better n complete. This place is more of an adjustment right thru. Even bathrooms so small - n open shower so everything gets drenched.
