If you're traveling by bus or train, chances are you'll be passing through Friesenplatz. This terminal is a major transportation hub for the area and an attraction in its own right.

This transportation hub in Left of Rhine is well-liked by many travelers, so make sure it features on your to-do list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more attractions waiting for you to appreciate after Friesenplatz. Cologne Cathedral, RheinEnergieStadion, and Old Market are close by.

The location was convenient ro attractions, clean, friendly staff, great breakfast buffet. Dificult to navigate with a stroller. Elevator was down at the time of our stay but another one further down was operating but we needed to lift the stroller a few times. It was not a 1 person job.

Room was spotless. Staff was courteous and offered great customer service, especially the very friendly manager. Definitely will stay there again the next time. Location is right in the center of Old Town, walkable to many distractions and street malls in Köln. It was an memorable stay. Thank you CityClass am Heumarkt.
