This place is in a great location, just a short walk from the main train station and the cathedral. A short stroll out the door and you can experience the Rhine riverfront, or turn left and head into various market squares. Our double room was very spacious with a large bathroom and clothing storage. This was a great selection and we will definitely stay here again!

Great location but comes at the cost of hearing nearby party goers throughout the night. Staff was friendly and helpful. Shower had fantastic water pressure and heat but the sliding glass door didn't seem sealed properly because it created a puddle outside afterwards.

3 nights.

The staff was very good. The room was cramped due to awkward placed furniture. They need to remove a few pieces. Although, the bathroom was recently remodeled. The interior of the hotel needs updates. We have been traveling for a month now and the overall condition of this hotel would be towards the bottom, but still acceptable. The location is good and everything is walkable. Many good restaurants very close by. The main strain station is an easy 5 minute walk.

Needs an update!

It’s a very old hotel where you need an “old”key to manually open the doors. The elevator has a door that you have to slide open before entering. The service desk attendant was hesitant to go give us water.

Hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Lovely clean bathroom. Couldn’t fault it.

The only problem for our room was that it was next to the bar next door. They had loud music and karaoke up until midnight and it kept us both awake both nights.

Great location and friendly service.

The reception was excellent and very helpful, and there are many things very good - nice linens and pillows (bed was a bit firm for my taste, but not bad at all), very clean, good breakfast, great location. However, we had a weird room. I didn’t realize I was booking a suite. It has stairs inside the room between where the bath and bedroom is (which is in the pictures), but it also has a toilet room that is very awkward to use as you have to sit under a sink! That was not in the pictures. I think their regular rooms are better. Also - we were there on the weekend and there are 2 very loud bars next door. Bring earplugs (I always have some so it wasn’t a problem for me).

Top Marks!

We viisted this hotel to go to the Cologne Christmas Markets. It's ideally placed just behind the Dom and an easy walk from the station. It was an absolute delight. We had an excellent suite (quite unexpected), very comfortable, splendid breakfast spread. It doesn't have it's own restaurant but there is a huge choice down beside the river. Top marks.

Accessible to everything in Cologne

Perfect location walking distance from the main train station , beside all the major museums and landmarks and for the Christmas markets.
The hotel is clean, warm and managed by friendly efficient staff. Our room had a separate sitting room which could double a another bedroom if needed.
We didn't eat there because there were so many great coffee houses and restaurants nearby.
I will definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it.

I booked double room for single use. It’s spacious and comfy. It would be better if a kettle with tea and coffee are provided. Mind you that there’s a pub next to the hotel. It was extremely noisy especially during weekends. The strong music would not stop until 1am!

I reported in the beginning that it was too hot in the room and the hotel immediately wanted to help me solve the problem. Staff is incredibly friendly.
The rooms are quite tiny however and the bathrooms aren't very nice with the plastic shelling.
All in all though a great hotel at a great location. The windows are amazingly sound proof so don't worry about noise from the street.

Nice small hotel just off the Rhine in Cologne. They made efficient use of a small space with well planned bathroom and furnishings. Only issue was it was near a noisy restaurant and to keep the unairconditioned space cool the windows needed to be open and hence lots of noise at night from the restaurant and early morning from trash collection.

Such a disappointment overall

This hotel was booked for its location to the train station and the Christmas Markets. Our decision was swayed by the price and the pictures of the hotel rooms looked great. It looked like you got a lot for your money
On arrival into Cologne, it only took 10 mins to walk with suitcases from the train station to the hotel, this was a great start for the holiday.
On arrival we were greated by a lovely lady behind a very small reception, which was fine as we were the only guests in reception, any more than 4 people in reception and you would be falling over each other. Language was not a problem because the reception lady spoke perfect English.
The room was nothing like the pictures. The pictures i have added are from room 308. This is along a dark corridor that has the smell of stale fried food to it. The room was dark and very small and looked like it belonged in the 80s. I later found out this room had not yet been upgraded, and upgraded rooms were being called deluxe rooms so the hotel could charge more for them. This was told to me by another member of reception. The television in the room did not work, and was reported immediately on arrival, 24 hours later when i told the hotel i wanted a room change, the television was fixed within the hour. Amazing really.
There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room, this is disappointing.
The bathroom was incredibly small.
There was also no evidence of a smoke detector within the room, not sure how this is legal in Europe

Convenient located reasonably priced hotel

While the outside of the hotel has no curbside appeal, the room itself was pleasantly renovated. The manager at reception kindly helped us get a working fridge into our room, as ours wasn't working. They didn't have cups in the room except for beer glasses but gladly provided one from the dining room. Our room was surprisingly spacious although I suspect not all rooms were similarly sized.

Very good hotel but..

Lovely hotel. Enjoyed my stay which was tuesday-sunday. I would have given it full marks if not for Friday and Saturday night. The hotel is next door to 2 bars/clubs which were open until around 2am. Which is fine but even though I was on the 3rd floor. I felt as if I was in the club. The other nights they wern't open
The location is perfect. Next to the Rhiene. Less than a minute to st martins and the main cathedral. Pretty much in old market too so it's dead centre to everything.
I didn't have the breakfast so I couldn't tell you about that

Mins away from central train station. Would definitely stay there if I come to Cologne again!

Having read a number of reviews regarding the Hotel, and with the experience of not always getting what you pay for, we were pleasantly surprised as to what we got.
Hotel was in a fantastic location, simply turn left out of the front door and make a choice numerous restaurants and bars. Turn right when you leave a Cologne's incredible shopping area appears before you.
The staff were friendly, helpful and always smiling. The rooms were large, both with comfortable beds and a sofa to relax on whilst watching TV (if you have time to). Didn't use the hotels' restaurant so wouldnt be able to comment.
All in all a wonderful weekend away and in no small part, helped by the 'An der Philharmonie'
One small point to note: No parking available so you going to pay 18 euros for each day. Oh, but the car park is a 20 meter walk from the front door.

5-Stars All the Way!

Don't pass up the Hotel an Der Philharmonie! Location was fantastic -- right on the river and just blocks away from the Cathedral and shopping district. The room was exquisite -- modern, clean, stocked and comfortable; plenty of space for entertaining, windows for lots of natural light, and a large bathroom with a luxurious shower. There are some really nice people working the concierge desk; very accommodating and easy to talk to -- wake up calls, late checkout, luggage storage, etc. I am so happy I stayed here. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast spread but it looked amazing -- definitely worth the money.... This is the place I will return to every stay in Koln.

Scam of wheelchair accessible room

There is no wheelchair accessible room here. I called the hotel to check if there were any accessible rooms and i was convinced that there was. But when we arrive, we were in shock. Even my wheelchair would not fit in the elevator. So what did i do? Since i had paid and could not get my money back, i am staying in the hotel and writing about this awful scam.

Great Place but one can ruin a score for all

Upon our arrival (we arrived late due to flight delays) we were \"greeted\" by one the most unfriendly, rude, arrogant people I've even encountered at a hotel. Basically after cutting me off multiple times, raising his voice, and not providing us with anything but a key, I had enough. Now, I did speak with multiple staff that was on the rest of our stay. They were all incredibly apologetic and very friendly. This was one isolated \"man\", but his comments to me, my friends, and other customers that were waiting is completely unacceptable.

Water pressure and good hair dryer is two things that I care when I stay at the hotel beside service and cleanness of the hotel. This hotel has very nice water pressure which allows you to take a nice shower and the hair dryer is nice too.
Don't be fool by the old look of the hotel front door, the room is re-furnished, new and clean. I enjoyed it very much!

Great location in the centre, near to the railway station, cathedral, etc. If you're going out on the town then it's ideal, but if you want to sleep then it's not great as it's nextdoor to a nightclub/bar and you can hear the beats until they close. I stayed on a Friday night, so maybe it's just weekends...

Great location and good value-for-money

The location of this hotel is amazing. Just a few minutes walking distance from the Cologne Cathedral, the city's main attraction, the Rhine River and an old castle-like building, it offers many places to explore in its vicinity. Further, as it is less than a 10-minute walk from the main railway station and the Heumart metro station, it is well connected. And linked to the name, it is across the lane from the Philharmonic hall. Also in the locality, along pedestrian-only squares and walkways, are numerous dining outlets offering a wide range of cuisines. With regard to the hotel, it offers the comfort and facilities of a conventional hotel in a European city, within a compact and efficient design. My room even had a long sofa. While it did not have a fridge, the staff, who were helpful and accommodative of my various requests, stored my beverages in the kitchen fridge. I opted for the breakfast which was a regular Continental breakfast with a few hot food options. As the hotel is located slightly away from the squares with the large pedestrian footfalls, it is less affected by ambient noise. Overall, for its location, facilities and service, the hotel provides good value for money.

Very nice European hotel.

A small, centrally located hotel that deserves its 4 star rating. Near the Ludwig and the Roman museums and close to the train station. Be advised that to get there from the train station you have to walk up and down lots of steps of the DOM cathedral plaza which is in between the two. Good exercise though. Hotel has only a small lobby area with a few seats. No ice machine or store to buy things. Staff was very nice and genuinely pleasant and attentive.

Room was larger than most, with a nice sitting area with table and nicely appointed with art work. Bed is a foam mattress which for me was a bit soft and a small challenge to get out of. Bathroom was modern with a step up tub/shower and great water pressure. Good WIFi access in the room and lobby.

The area was generally quiet the week I was there except for Friday and Saturday nights when the bars flanking the hotel were crowded and the music was very loud.

Breakfast was just an additional €9.50/day and for me well worth the price. Nice assortment of bread, crispy rolls, eggs, sausage, sliced meats and cheeses, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt and coffee, tea and juices.

All and all very enjoyable even with the loud noise on Friday and Saturday night.
