I had a wonderful 1-night stay at the Maternushaus. The location was perfect, within walking distance from the Cologne main train station (Köln Hauptbahnhof). The facility was very clean, and, while not fancy by any means, it had all that I needed: a very clean single room with private bathroom and a comfortable bed, TV, several electric outlets, good WiFi, etc. The included breakfast was excellent, and there's also a free drinking water station. The staff was very kind and helpful. Above all, I was very thankful for an onsite chapel with 24x7 perpetual Adoration.

Clean rooms, staff a bit dry and give judgemental looks lol. Got a coffee made for 4€ each, still the lady was rude when we asked to add more milk. Dont work if you cant handle the mood. Breakfast was average, bread was cold and no option to toast etc. The other staff was friendly. Feels a bit old

Very convenient location, a ten minute walk from the Cathedral and main station. We arrived at 9.30 am, after leaving a river cruise, expecting to leave our bags in the luggage room, but our room was already available.

Convenient if characterless hotel
Handy for Cologne HBF, clean and efficient. Mostly a conference hotel, so no charm, but comfortable and does everything you need it to. A self-service breakfast was included and had plenty of options.
