They are probably trying hard to keep the guests happy but to much need of restoration to be on top. Apart from that. All is working and breakfast is good. It’s not in any place bad but if you expect hotel you gonna be disappointed but as a low budget alternative they are excellent. Like a famous Irish airline, you get what you pay for and that’s all.

After a day of train travel we were checked in quickly and efficiently allowing us maximum time to explore Cologne. Everyone was very friendly and spoke English well.

Lovely receptionist at check-in (a man), really rude at check-out: the lady clearly wasn't happy that I could speak German. The bed was way too soft. The room was sparkling clear, nicely decorated and very quiet.

Very close to train station and cathedral. Room was in attic up some very high stairs. There was a lot of noise from adjoining room due to closeness. Breakfast was good with freshly cooked eggs and lots of choice. Very friendly staff. Check in was unusual with using ipad and getting a code. Ideally placed for old town.

This is not the most modern hotel, but the staff are the friendliest and most helpful I have come across from the check in to the breakfast service to the checking out procedure. The bathroom may have been a little small, but the welcoming nature of the place outweighed any slight hassles.

It’s within easy walking distance of the Köln Hbf station and the Dom. It is ideal for visiting the Christmas markets. Having the train virtually on the doorstep it’s a breeze for going to other places such as Aaken etc. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the choices at breakfast are able to suit every diet or taste and set you up for the day

The room was very quiet although I did hear the TV in the neighboring room for about an hour, which was slightly annoying. Luckily it stopped at around the time I went to bed. Breakfast buffet was very good.

Great city centre stay

We have stayed at the Dom Spitzen before because it is so convenient for the train station and cathedral centre. The staff are lovely and the breakfast selection excellent. My only wish would be for a downstairs lounge area, as there are just a couple of chairs in the reception area. If you struggle with stairs ask to be on the right hand side of the hotel because the left has no lift.

Not a bad location to the train station and metro but no amenities in the room… no iron, coffee maker in room, not ample plugs, we asked for 2 beds and got one… just little things like that. Staff was friendly and helpful

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.

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.

The room is clean, breakfast is good and the location of the hotel is excellent. No safe, no amenities and the room smells of humidity and food when they are cooking in the kitchen. Ceiling lamp not available only table lamps and the wall plug was not working we had to remove the tv plug to charge our laptops. Reception staff not friendly at all.

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

2/10 Poor

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
