In a fantastic location close to the main train station and U Bahn but very quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff and comfortable room. I know other people have commented but the quality and variety of food at the buffet breakfast really is exceptional-possibly the best I’ve ever had. The coffee is excellent. I can’t recommend Domspitz Hotel too highly.

Imagine this: It’s 35°C (95°F), you’re on the fourth floor during a heat wave, and the afternoon sun continues pouring into your room until after 8 p.m. The room feels like an oven. There is no effective ventilation, and the only fan provided is broken and blows hot air, making the room even more unbearable.

I could not stay. Even the hallway outside was cooler than my room. I waited until after sunset hoping it would cool down, but it didn’t. Sleeping there simply wasn’t possible.

To make matters worse, I was staying in an apartment separate from the hotel. After 8 p.m. the building was locked, and I was never given an emergency contact number. If I had needed assistance, there was no way to reach anyone.

What disappointed me most was the hotel’s response. Rather than showing any concern for my wellbeing or offering a solution, I was simply told they were “not responsible for the weather.” This wasn’t about the weather, it was about providing a room that was reasonably livable during extreme heat and caring about a guest who had no choice but to leave.

I understand the hotel does not advertise air conditioning. My complaint is not about the lack of A/C. It’s about the lack of any adequate alternative, the absence of after-hours support, and the complete lack of empathy when a guest was placed in conditions that were simply not fit to stay in.

I would not recommend this property as their lack of human care is lacking.

Great location and very quiet for being so close to the train station and cathedral. Room was small but comfortable and very clean. The breakfast buffet had lots of great quality options including made to order eggs.
Our only issue was not realizing that the front desk closes at 8pm, which isn’t really a thing that happens in Canada. This would have been fine if our train was on time, but we were delayed several hours and when we showed up late at night there was no way to get into our hotel so we ended up having to pay for a room at second hotel. The hotel staff the next morning insisted we received an email with directions for a code to get in but I did not receive any such email. So, mostly our responsibility for not reading the fine print but make sure you arrange late check in if you are going to arrive after 8pm.

This hotel is disgusting, smelly, old, not maintained properly, only 1 socket in the room, the bathroom has very bad smell. the room is wretched. Does not worth the cost at all. I stayed 2 hours in the hope to get refund , and I left the room and ordered a taxi and went to stay at Hilton Koln, since it was impossible to remain in this room, and I hope to get refund. Although they refuse.
I think you are responsible for what you offer to clients and this hotel is horrible, although it gets some good reviews from clients, its not the truth. GO and check!

Unfortunately, upon my arrival I was told the hotel was overbooked and I was being sent to the hotel across the road. This would have been fine as I was still in the same location but I was assured it was “just as nice” and it certainly wasn’t. The hotel I was put it was not to the same standard or value as the hotel domspitzen so I feel I lost the value of what I paid for. I was told to return to the hotel for breakfast which was nice and the staff were lovely. However, overall I was extremely disappointed and was not happy at all with the hotel I was essentially dumped into

The breakfast alone is worth a visit.

The number one thing I would say about this hotel is the excellent breakfast they provide. It is like they have a Michelin chef working there with all of the unique options that are available. I would stay at this hotel again just for the breakfast.

When I initially arrived, they told me they would hold my luggage, and when I came back later, all of the luggage was in a pile in the lobby, which seemed a little odd, but they were able to get me checked in fairly quickly and into my room, which was very well decorated and comfortable. The location near the train station was very convenient.

We choose this hotel for the location , proximity to the Koln Dom and the railway station . The hotel is in an older building and our room was quite small. It doesn’t have air conditioning and it happened that during our stay in May 12-15 Koln experienced a heat wave of 26-27 degrees Celsius.
Staff was very attentive and helpful responding to our questions. Buffet breakfast was included and was excellent , so were all the restaurant staff.
Highlights of our stay in Koln : visiting the amazing gothic cathedral , including the Treasure museum under the Dom, visit at Ludwig museum of Modern Art , walks along the promenade of Rhine River .
PS. In our way by train from Belgium to Koln we stoped to see Aachen with the famous chapel built by Charlemagne. From Koln we also had a day trip to Bonn

Disappointing

While I reserved this hotel I was given a room in another hotel one block away but with breakfast in this hotel. The reception was also in the other hotel. Rooms were not automatically serviced either. The disappointment was compounded by having an energy tax in addition to a 'city tax' sprung on me when I checked in. There was no warning in advance about this. I understand that the energy tax is a government initiative but I found it offputting and it has put me off returning to Germany. All in all i wouldn't recommend booking this hotel.

Good location, great breakfast

Hotels in Cologne are very expensive and the rooms seem to be very small. The room we were assigned to was on the top floor (chambre de bonne) and the bathroom was very tiny (we are slim ladies and we had barely any room to move around without bumping into things). The best part of our stay was complimentary breakfast service at the hotel. The layout was neat with just the right amount and kinds of breakfast foods. The kitchen also cooks eggs and bacon to your liking. Staff members were very kind and helpful as well. Hotel is located right across from the Central Train Station and is walking distance to Cologne Cathedral.

Disappointed

I was not happy and I dont think my needs were met - the staff were nice and accomodating but they either could give me a part of what I needed: either an ensuite bathroom (for Euro10 extra) without wifi or no ensuite and wifi! A challenge if you are there for work and have to use the dining room to work in. The place does need a refurbishment and ideally with some soundproofing or air conditioning. I did stay in a hotel 50 metres from this one before with all these facilities including coffee maker in the room and no real difference in price. Domspitzen was my choice I accept that but I would not go back and I am bemused at the high scores it gets.

I think this room was a storage or WC (sorry) and they have changed it to a tiny room. Getting in the room you had to walk to the corner to turn on the lights. I have never had such bad experience.

Not near Schiphol Airport

The hotel is new and everything is new. It has great amenities: HD TV, heated floor in bath room, about 5 electrical outlets.

On the down side: (1) The pillows are foam rubber and too big to sleep on. I ended up putting the pillow slip cover on the throw cushion. This was still too big but better than the bed pillows. (2) We did not receive the 8 AM wakeup call we left on the night before we departed until 8:10 AM. They need to work on that. (3)We already knew they had no alcohol license, so no beer.

The hotel is not near the airport. It is an 8 block walk to the train station that goes to the airport. We arrived at Schiphol airport about 11 pm by train from Frankfurt. We took a taxi thinking the hotel was near the airport. It turns out, the hotel in west Amsterdam. It cost us 40 euro to take a taxi. The train we were on stopped at Amsterdam Central train station on the way to Schiphol. If we had good information about where the hotel is, we could have gotten off the train at Amsterdam Central. From Amsterdam Central we could have taken the tram which stops across the street in front of the hotel

Excellent value for money. And Koln is a really visitor friendly city. Particularly enjoyed cycling along bike path next to Rhein.

great

Great location by the train station. I got to the hotel at 9:30am after a 9 hour flight and they had a room open at their sister hotel a block down the street. It was very nice of them to allow me to check in so early and get some sleep. Great staff and nice room.

Hotel Domspitzen

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast buffet. Hotel is old but rooms were clean and comfortable, albeit on the small side. Noise of nearby train station was not a problem.

Excellent staff and breakfast

We stayed for 2 nights and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable and as we were at the back of the hotel, very quiet. There was a downside, our room was at the top of the stairs to reception and we could hear people talking and then noisy and heavy footed people climbing the stairs. It's not a disaster but might not please everyone. The breskfat was outstanding, a great selection of bread, meat, cheese and fruit as well as eggs on request.
The hotel is located across the road from the Hauptbahnhof which is only 15-20 minutes from the airport.

Excellent service and breakfast, slightly tired rm

The rooms were a little tired but the helpful staff and excellent breakfast makeup for it. Minor gripe - room 15 (a suite) is close to reception and the door is paper thin so you hear every person that checks in (all through the night).

Excellent fresh breakfast, quiet location

We stayed here our first night in Germany after 20 hrs of flight travel and a 9 hour time change. We arrived completely exhausted to a cheerful and helpful smiling woman at the front desk who checked with the cleaning staff if our room could be ready early and it was. I am sure we got lucky on the early check in but we appreciated the effort in trying to accommodate us. After a quick nap and a shower we were off to the cathedral in the city center which is just a quick walk through the train station that is right across the street from the hotel. Plenty of cute little restaurants right nearby. Our two favorite things about the hotel were the quiet back street it is situated on ( mind you we were here on a Sunday night so the bar across the street may be loud late on weekend nights ) the best thing was a great fresh breakfast with many choices savory tarts, cereals great meats and cheeses what a great way to start the morning. Many friendly faces coming out of the kitchen to great you as well. On the room we were on the top floor twin double room was a little on the small side ( this is common for many mid priced hotels in Europe) so expect a small shower, cramped bathroom and tiny elevator. Building is older but well kept. Parking is available on block away in a secure garage for 10 euro/ day. WiFi is free and fast enough but not super fast. All in all we really enjoyed our quick stay here. Should we be back in Cologne we will definitely be staying here again.

Hotel Domspitzen Köln

I had the room from the other side, I guess it was the old side. I had had lot of time to spend in my room but it served it's purpose. It was bit chilly and I tried to adjust the heaters which made it better. Bathroom was very small but I didn't mind as I wasn't staying so long. Fitted carpet gave the room very old and shabby feeling. Some noise from the other rooms and corridor could be heard inside the room. Staff was very polite and helpfull. Breakfast was avarage. If you are vegetarian there are not lot for you. I can't eat food that has any parts of milk and it made the choises at the breakfast very limited. Hotel is situated very conviniently. i used the trains a lot so the vicinity of the railwaystation was important to me.

Das Personal war sehr nett und das Frühstück auch gut mit servierten Eierspeisen nach Wahl. Nur die fehlende Klimaanlage war bei der Hitze etwas schwierig, aber es gab immerhin einen Ventilator.

Ich habe die Unterkunft geschäftlich genutzt, leider war nur noch ein Zimmer mit (eigener) Toilette im Gang frei. Zimmer und Bad waren über einen 10-stelligen Zahlencode erreichbar (unpraktisch wenn es schnell gehen muss). Ansonsten alles prima, sauber, das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll zubereitet!

Bra läge nära centralstationen. Väldigt unik och spännande frukost! Bra alternativ för veganer. Trevligt rum, rätt tyst läge. Lite kommunikationssvårigheter med personalen men alla var hjälpsamma och informativa.

Wir hatten zwei Übernachtungen gebucht mit dem Ziel im Zentrum zu sein.
Hotel alte Bausubstanz. Aufzug von 1958. Aber alles tip top. Im Zimmer fehlt vieleicht die Kleiderablage aber sonst alles funktionabel. Frühstück: reichhaltige Auswahl, super Service, Personal top!!!!
Würde das Hotel wieder buchen.
