We were greeted with a smile and wonderful service. Parking was available for €7 per night. A lift took us up to the 4th floor. Our room was adequate. Enough space for two large suitcases. All was clean. Very impressed. Breakfast was amazing. All was there for a full breakfast if wanted and the staff were very attentive. The position of the hotel was perfect. About 10 minutes walk from the Dom. Hop on Hop off bus. Restaurants 5 minutes walk. Very pleased with our choice. As all hotel with great service. Highly recommend.

Other reviewers said that this hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment. Absolutely true. It OK, but not great. everything looks a little worn out.
Beds are really comfy though, and the shower is excellent. Food is mediocre, unless you only eat fruit - there was a lot of fruit! Staff were friendly, in particular the older man on reception who was really helpful.

Best customer service ever!

We stayed for two nights and wish all of the hotels on our 19 day vacation were even half as special. The service provided was exceptional. The lobby was warm and inviting. Fresh fruit : apples, oranges, apricots, and kiwi was there for the taking. The breakfast was included in the very reasonably priced room rate. The buffet included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, 4 flavors of yogurt, breads, 6 cereals, freshly brewed coffee, and too many to count fruit offerings.
The free parking was across the street in an underground lot not open to the public.
The only drawback was the lack of air conditioning. The weather was hot and humid at night, but opening the window made sleeping possible.
If you visit Cologne, Germany..stay at Cerano City Hotel.

Amazing breakfast

We stayed here on our way to Prague to break the drive from the UK. The hotel was basically for a night's sleep, however we walked to the Dom & had dinner in Cologne near the river. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had in a hotel & was amazing with its choices of juices, smoothies, selection of hot & cold foods.

A real bad experience.

Our stay was really uncomfortable. It's true that we reserved for the economy room, but we got the most horrible room in all the hotel, just behind the reception and with a mirror to the street. On the other hand, somebody in the reception was smoking and we could smell all the cigarette. Also the bed was not good, because apparently is old. The TV does not have any channel in English, so if you do not know German, is impossible to understand. Finally you can wake up very very early because you can hear all the people that starts to breakfast at 7 am.

Not the Hilton, but definitely deserves its 3stars

Hotel is approximately 10 minutes walk from the Koln (Colone) main station and only 2 minutes from underground station.
Staff are very friendly and have a good command of English.
Rooms furniture was a bit dated but was clean and fresh.
Free wifi all areas.
I was surprised at the vast choice of breakfast options and display, I really did not expect as much for a quite a small quite hotel.
Loads of fruit to choose from in reception.
Daily house keeping.
Would definitely visit again.
Only fault I could find is toilet/shower room is not very large, but then again not the one place I was interested in spending time in whilst visiting beautiful Cologne

Not a hotel, more like a B&B.

The first room I checked into (late, around 10pm) was the dreaded room 40. It's basically a cupboard right behind reception and is the worst room I think I've ever stayed in. Noisy, hot, cramped, and the only window leads right onto the street, so you can't open it for fear of being robbed in the middle of the night!

The next day some people had checked out and I got a decent room on the 3rd floor that had a fan! Thank you Cerano Hotel for moving me, this made the remaining 5 nights bearable. The room was basic, but the bed was comfy and although the bathroom was almost comically small, I was only there to sleep and shower in the morning, so it was fine.

The hotel offers a complimentary continental breakfast, which is decent - some nice meats and cheeses, and some lovely bread. Their coffee is very good, too.

It really is just a B&B though at the end of the day - no bar, no gym, and no frills. You sleep there, you have breakfast there if you're in a rush, and that's it. On the plus side, the cathedral (the Dom) is no more than a three minute walk from the B&B, and that's where you'll find the main group of bars and restaurants. Oh, and if you fancy something non-German, there's a gem of a British pub called Jameson's about a 2 minute walk from the front door of the Cerano B&B: the air con is working overtime, and the food is fantastic.

Overall: if you need a bed, there can be worse places (like room 40!), but it really is absolutely zero frills.

Decent hotel in a good location

For various reasons, I unwittingly ended up scheduled to arrive in Cologne on 11th November, the start of Carnival, which meant that room availability was at a real premium. The Cerano was one of the few places with availability, though extremely overpriced compared to their normal rates. Price aside, it was a pleasant enough hotel - good location an easy walk from the station, friendly staff, and a room that met my requirements. The only downers were that there was no light switch near the bed, the wifi didn't seem to remember the passcode as well as it perhaps should have, and you needed separate wifi passcodes for each device. The breakfast room was also pretty small but that wasn't a problem as there were never more than a handful of people in it when I used it.

Good Value I Would Recommend This

I wanted to a base to explore the tourist areas of Cologne knowing I would be eating out every night - this was about getting a decent bed and breakfast, close to the main tourist sights, at a competitive price, in a neighbourhood that was safe and quiet - in those respects this hotel was perfect

What made this so good was that the owners obviously cared about their hotel, as an example they offered free fruit and drinks at anytime of day and their breakfast was outstanding in terms of choice and quality.

The hotel is tucked away on a side street but in the business district, it's 10 mins walk to the rail station, river and cathedral. I don't think you could ask for more. I had the windows open all night and there was no noise to speak off - very quiet (I was there at a weekend so maybe it was busier during the week?)

Negatives?
- When I went it was quite hot, with the windows open the temperature was fine but some people may prefer air con which my room did not have
- Room size, I had a single room which was compact, for me it was adequate but if you intended to stay in the room in the evenings you might find it a bit small (I don't know if this affected the double rooms as well)

Cerano, Cologne - small but great value

We needed a triple room for our band as a one night stop-gap between England and Berlin. The hotel was very central, about a 5 minute walk to the high street, the parking was secure although not free, the room was big enough for us and very clean. Towels and flannels were provided for all of us and the breakfast was very varied and all fresh.

Not the best.

The hotel was great, and since my friends and I were there for Karneval, it was one of the cheapest ones, and one of the only ones available.
The room was nice, and the breakfast was great.
There was a problem at check-in, where we went up to our room, and it hadn't been cleaned once the last guests had left. I mean, beds unmade, trash on the floor, etc. We're pretty laid back and wanted to grab some lunch anyway, so my friends and I told the man at the front desk that the room still needed to be cleaned and that we would be back in a few hours. He said sorry and that it would be no problem.
Imagine our surprise when we get back and the room is exactly how we left it. We went back down and told the man, and he started to call every housecleaner and explain the situation. After waiting for the whole ordeal, he finally just gave us another room, but we did have to wait about 45 minutes , for no reason. We were also not offered anything, and barely got an apology.
Overall, I would probably not stay here again, unless it got cheaper, and it was the only hotel room available again during Karneval...

The rooms are small and a bit outdated. But in return you get a competitive price and a very good breakfast. We even got freshly squeezed orange juice. There was no noise. If you payed attention to it, you could hear the subway. There are lots of parking garages nearby. You will always find a free spot in one of them. The hotel also offers pakings spots, but you can find less expensive if you are willing to walk a few blocks.

The 90s called and want their furnishings back

Friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and bars. The furnishings is hideous in the way it's so out of date. And I don't understand why they had like 200 oranges in the lobby? But we could laugh about it. Breakfast was alright, they had all the basic stuff, but everything was room temperature: yogurt, fruit, butter, scrambled eggs etc. Nothing was heated or chilled. Lots of fruit flies. Room was decent size and okay clean, some spider web in the ceiling but bedlinen and towels were clean. The hotel really should get an update. The location, the size and the staff is worth it but is dragged down by the oh so worn hotel. I will probably try another hotel next time I'm in Cologne. I won't recommend this hotel, but I would definitely not dissuade anyone either. It's nothing wrong really, it's just not a \"nice hotel\".

Sunkigt även för lågbudget..

Vi ville ha ett billigt hotell eftersom vi skulle anlända på eftermiddagen och åka vidare tidigt på morgonen dagen efter.
Det var frukt överallt tom i hela lobbyn i och med var det också fruktflugor överallt. Vi hade ett rum som låg mellan receptionen och hissen. Det var 35 grader ute men man kunde inte ha fönstret öppet pga. att det var på markplan (alla som går förbi på trottoaren kan se in i rummet). Så eftersom det var så lyhört så var det som att sova i en tältsäng direkt i lobbyn(eller på trottoaren.. valfritt).
Det var väldigt solkigt i badrummet och rummet var så litet så det knappt fick plats en dubbelsäng ändå hade de klämt in ett stort bord i hörnet. Dock var sängen mjuk men kändes inte värst fräsch. Frukosten var hysterisk, det yrde av flugor när man lyfte på något. Man blev tilldelad en egen kaffekanna vilket är trevligt. Men kaffet var så blaskigt att det var odrickbart. Det var trevligt med fruktsallad och olika typer av yogurths men mjölkprodukterna stod lite här och där i olika ikeahyllor hela morgonen utan någon kylanordning.
Aldrig igen hur billigt det än är!

no A/C, it was extremely hot outside and inside, no A/C, but we we could not sleep with open window to the road with many people passing by during the night,

this was not acceptable, we had a horrible night
the room was not at all worth its price.
