This property worked well as an overnight stopover located very close to Cologne main station. It is tired looking in its decor (not all lights were in order for example and the carpet was faded in places) but the room was very spacious and clean. The floor standing air con unit together with the double window units did a decent job of damping the sounds of road and rail traffic. A big shout out to the female receptionist who gave us a really warm welcome.

Outdated and misleading

Not sure why it’s rated as a 4-star hotel and has really good reviews. It was probably a great hotel 30 years ago but it’s old not really in a charming way and smells a bit musky. I thought I had filtered for hotels with AC and it turned out this hotel only had certain rooms with AC so book wisely. It was terrible when I had booked us there over the 38C heatwave thinking we’re getting a room with AC. Fortunately there was a fan and the windows can be opened wide. Reception staff is indeed very friendly and the location is close to the Hbf

Hotel is a fairly close walk from the train station in Koln. The place is dated but not run down looking. Our toilet leaked, and they sent someone to take a look quickly. They cleaned up the mess but the toilet continued to leak a little when flushed. The toilet seat came loose and was never fixed, just had to be careful when sitting on it. Overall you can probably do a bit better for a similar price in the area. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Excellent location

\"The outside doesn't look any too special....\" I thought to myself when I spied the Appartel am dom hotel as the train pulled into the Koln Hauptbahnhof. Nonetheless, it was an easy walk from the station following the clear directions from the hotel website. Well, looks, as they often are, can be deceiving, and this was a lovely hotel to stay in for my two nights in Cologne. Check in was friendly and easy, the room spacious and spotless, a welcome basket of fruit, candy and cookies, the windows updated (opened easily and provided soundproofing when closed) breakfast delicious and extensive - all in all a great place to call home for a few nights! I found the location great - only a very short distance from the station and through to the cathedral, and within easy walking distance across the bridge to the Koln Triangle where you can ascend to a 28th storey open observation deck called the Panorama and view the entire city (about 1.3km). I would definitely recommend this hotel and return to stay here should I come back to Cologne!

I was at the Dusseldorf K2016, but all the hotels in the area was occupied or overprice, so Cologne was the best options as the fair tickets includes the train and bus transportation on all the territory. As I arrived at the hotel the desk attendant was extremely professional, as the other two that I meet on the subsequent days. I was travelling alone, but I reserved a room for two peoples because I know that the room size can be an issue in Europe, so this one was just fine. The train station is just a few steps from the hotel, but the double windows insulates from any noise. The breakfast was good. I certainly recommend and I will stay again.

Bring your own slippers!

*Note: I was upgraded to a suite so I didn't actually experience the normal rooms.

Got a pleasant surprised when found out I was upgraded to a suite, the room was huge with a separate living area, and the bedroom was massive. Great service by the staff too, and nice location, a less than 5 mins walk from Koln Hbf (you can also walk around 10 mins north to take the trams which is another option).

The only bad thing is that the carpet is quite dirty, when I took off my shoes and socks to walk around the room, the soles of my feet started itching. Not sure if this problem is only applicable to my room or not, but bring your own slippers just in case! Also, the room key is used to both open the door and to lock the door from the inside, there are no sliding locks from the inside so anyone (e.g. staff) with the key can open your door in the middle of the night or if you forget to lock the door with your key when you get into your room.

This hotel is a completely sufficient property near the main Cologne train station, with easy access to the Cologne Cathedral (10-15 min walk). The hotel is small and located on a dead-end, but adjacent to a busy intersection. With the windows closed, there was little noise penetration into the room. The room was larger than we expected and was clean and comfortable. Paired with the friendly staff and small breakfast service, I would recommend this hotel for anyone not wishing to stay in the larger chains.
