Nice hotel in walking distance to main shopping district and Dom (cathedral). Clean, small breakfast buffet with some vegetarian choices - challanging for vegans, though.Given the location it was good value-for-money. Around the corner is a newly opened fantastic organic delicatessen wholefood shop cum bistro with lots of vegan and vegetarian choices (Vier Jahreszeiten, Herzogstr. 34, next to the mustard... More

We stayed for the weekend and it was a great choice. All we wanted to see and do was around the Hotel in walking distance. The room was quite big and very quiet. The bathroom was with shower. All was working well and we had a good rest. The breakfast room was a little small so we needed to wait... More

This rather basic hotel is very well located in the middle of the Altstadt close to the most important sights. Rooms are of a good size. Our bathroom had a bath tub where you had to step in to take a shower. There is a small TV screen that cannot be viewed from the bed. The floor carpet had some... More

We stayed at the Sonata hotel during a recent European vacation. The hotel was well positioned close to the main shopping district and around 10 minutes from the cathedral. The room was clean and tidy - no view to speak of as the hotel is in a fairly narrow street with office/apartment buildings opposite. Breakfast was included in the cost... More

This is a small hotel crammed into an office building. You would really miss it if you were not looking ( as I did). I was traveling alone on business and had a single room which was small and cramped. In fact the whole hotel feels cramped, even the reception area although the service was very polite and accomodating. The... More

Sonata hotel has its rooms in an office buidling in a quiet one-way street, about 50 meters from the pedastrian zone, with exremely busy shopping streets, and about 500 mtrs. from the Dom. Opposite the hotel is a parking place for 5 motor cars at 10 euro per night. Around the corner there is a large parking at 13 euro... More

Very central location, so an ideal base for exploring the pedestrianised centre of Cologne. Room was very clean, comfortable and quiet, and price very reasonable. Good standard breakfast. Secure parking in neighbouring multi-storey is additional but discounted, and is secure - important when you're stopping over en route to or from the UK. We'd certainly use the Sonata again.

My family and I stayed at the Sonata while I spoke at a conference held at the Koelnmesse across the Rhine. The hotel is fine, breakfast was adequate and convenient and overall the facility was very quite. However, I did find the front desk staff a bit brusque -- they seemed happy to answer questions, but always in a hurry... More

Thoroughly a great experiene. Excellent facilities. Brealfast was a great choice. Enjoyed it so much I am returning in July for my 50 ish birthday. Good rates. Well worth every penny
