The weekend before Ash Wednesday is carnival weekend across Europe and the rest of the world. No better place to enjoy this weekend in Europe than in Cologne. The Kolsh (local beer) flows freely and so does the good times. Everyone joins in from young to old, by adopting fancy dress and coming out onto the streets. For the times... more

Hotel is in an awesome location, about two minutes walk from the platz around the dom. As soon as you walk out of the hotel its a magnificant sight. five minutes walk from the hauptbahnhof. The hotel is very clean and nice. Some roadworks while we were there (a new underground or something) but they wont be there for everyone!... more

Fortunately, I did not let the random negative review of Dorint Sofital Am Dom posted on Trip Advisor, deter me from making a weekend booking. My friend and I requested a double room each, via Expedia, at a very good rate of £133 p.p. for two nights. Our rooms were NOT small; the bathrooms were attractive, modern, and well equipped.... more

We (3 girls on a girlie weekend) stayed here for just one night when we went to Cologne for a weekend of Christmas Markets and Mulled Wine!
