Pretty nice!
Overall a nice place in a great location! Corridors are a little creepy and the elevator is tiny but it’s a small hotel so not a problem! Did get woken up by a cleaner/staff banging on the door at 10am without requesting a wake up call but room was clean, modern and safe!

Great apartment very close to Dom
We have 5 in our family, so hotels in Europe don't always have one room that will work for us. This apartment was close to the cathedral, but not so close to be in the busy tourist traffic. Nice place, clean, with what we needed but not extra fancy. When you're in Europe, at least we don't spend much time in the hotel, but it was great for our needs. They also provided extra fans for our use, without us even thinking to ask, during the extra hot weather.

Value for money. Don't expect a 5 star room if you pay for just a couple of stars. For us it was clean and we just use it one night to sleep (family with three kids) when visiting the nice Christmas markets, which are all on walking distance.

We couldn’t even get our room, they claimed we were in room 999, our access code didn’t work but another guest let us in, there wasn’t a room 999. We called over and over, the man who answered admitted they were overbooked, couldn’t put us in another room, and kept claiming he was contacting someone to come help us. We waited outside in the street for 4 hours with my three kids, no one showed up. We live about 5 hours away so we drove home, but we are out the money it took to get there, they haven’t refunded us, and we had to cancel our trip.

A few issues!
We booked an apartment, which is in fact about 5-10 mins walk from the actual hotel, very near the cathedral. The entrance is behind a metal gate leading to the store room of a mini-supermarket. There is no sign saying "Dom Hotel Am Römerbrunnen Apartments" that is visible from the street. There is just a small sign saying Apartments on a wall behind the metal gate but no name on it. It took several minutes to find the way in. The apartment itself was large, warm and clean, with 4 single beds in a large seating area, a bedroom for one, a dining area a well-equipped kitchen, a toilet and a shower. The shower is in the entrance hall, with just a curtain for privacy - it has no lockable door! We had breakfast in the hotel on one morning, for which we paid on check-in. At the time we had not been told we would be staying 5-10 minutes away. Two of our party (in their 70s) felt it was too far to walk so I rang reception to request a refund of their breakfasts, but was told this was not possible. The breakfast was not bad - freshly baked croissants, tea, coffee and juice. On our final morning, we left before 8am to find the metal gate locked from the outside. Our key would not turn the lock from the inside, and an employee of the mini-supermarket told us the lock was broken, so I called reception who sent someone to let us out. In the end, I managed to open the lock by putting my hands through the metal game and accessing the lock from the outside. Not an ideal end to our stay.

Warning don't book.
Warning fraudulent activity! I have booked this hotel for £250 a night a business stay of 2 nights. The rooms are dated and I would rate them 2 star status. But the oddest thing is that the place closes at 11pm without night or emergency entrance. As I left the heavy key with pendant at reception I was forced to book another hotel and come back in the morning to collect my belongings. NOBODY WARNS ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE KEYS. But apparently it is printed on the T&Cs somewhere.

,,First of all we would like to thank you for your honest critic and we hope you had a safe journey back home. We would like to point out that the reception opening hours are clearly stated on our website as well as on the entrance door of the hotel. In addition, our team members inform all guests about the opening hours upon check-in. Furthermore we provide a 24-hours helpline for our guests. We regret that you did not leave our hotel happy. Should you ever be back to Cologne, we would be more than happy if you give us a second chance. Warm regards from Cologne, on behalf of the entire team of Dom Hotel Am Römerbrunnen, S.R.

3rd floor with NO elevator - GOTTA BE CLEAR
The announcement is not clear as the place is on the 3rd floor and does not have elevator. It was terrible to bring heavy luggages upstairs. The hotel did not offer a solution as they did not switch my apartment or find someone to help with my luggage. The place is an apartment in a different location from the hotel. In summary, it is more like an Airbnb than a hotel. Also, the internet does not work well.

We would come back here!
The hotel was at the perfect location to walk to the mailing cathedral. The check in was quick and the staff were very courteous and helpful. The apartment that we got was amazing, with a great view of the cathedral, clean, the beds were conformable and it has air conditioned. There are plenty of places to eat. The only downsize is that the great apartment is in the 6th floor and the elevator goes only to the 4th floor so we had to carry our luggage to stories. great place and great city.

The apartment was big enough to accommodate our family of five. Some parts of the apartment were updated. One of the sheets didn’t seem to be too clean. Since it was a hot summer day and there wasn’t any air conditioning, we had to open the windows. We were on the first floor and was super noisy. We could hear siren all night. However, it was very close to everything. We could walk to a lot of places easily. It’s only 10 min walk to the Cologne Cathedral and the Fleur. It’s close to a nice supermarket, too.

Great location within walking distance from train
Upon first arriving we were a tad bit suspect of this small hotel. No need to be as the rooms were all tastefully renovated with very comfortable beds and the staff couldn’t of been more helpful. The local beer on tap in the bar was great! The best Turkish food ever is right next door. Artistanbul.

BEYOND expectations!!
We arrived about 9:30-10:00PM local time. It appears as though they had given our room away but, they put us in a private apartment just down the street even closer than the hotel is to the city center! VERY spacious, EXTREMELY clean and secure!! In our apartment we had a washer, HOT shower, plenty of towels, privacy and very quiet accommodations! The business downstairs that shares a common walkway leading to the stairs to the apartment was kind and helpful as well! I can’t say enough about our stay. GORGEOUS view of the cathedral from our window. A block from the cathedral AND the train station! Much busier of a street than the hotel yet, VERY quiet!! The hotel seemed even quieter despite reviews I read about that location. Check in and check out were fast, easy and pleasant!! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this place to ANYONE!! GREAT VALUE!!

Generally speaking a good choice for an inexpensive hotel in central Cologne. Nothing fancy but wonderful staff and clean facilities. The only negative aspect on my stay was an early wake-up call by workers who started installing doors at 8 AM, their noise echoing through the entire building.

Great location,very clean and safe train station around the block, safe walk day or night, 5 minute walk from Cathedral, shopping district and museums, clean and very comfortable room, nice staff. Does not have air conditioning in the summer but for me in the fall was great since temperatures were around 60 degrees.

Excellent location: 5m walk to Cathedral and train station, 10m walk to Paeffgen beer house/eatery. Friendly and courteous staff. Attached to a nice bar and cafe (although we didn't try it). Biggest negative: noise level. Although our room didn't face the street we started hearing dogs bark and people chat loudly as early as 5am. Next door neighbors' flushing/coughing etc too came through walls. Minor negative: shower with good temp and pressure but poor configuration. When pressure is turned up the shower head directly points at the shower curtain and pushes it out of the tiled area causing water to spill over to the rest of the bathroom floor. (We had to keep the pressure low.)
