If you are not that bothered about staying in swanky hotels and paying swanky prices then Hotel Im Kupferkessel may be just what you are looking for. Clean, very friendly hotel within easy strolling distance of the station / cathedral / old town / shops etc. Exactly what I wanted. more

This hotel is just a super deal. Given the extremely modest price I was expecting it to be bare bones, and was surprised to find my room had both a phone and a TV. Cheerily bright room, impeccably clean and only a short distance from the train station. Quite possibly the best value for money I've ever had from a... more

This is a great little pension about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. Neighborhood is fine, definitely off the beaten path but still quite close to the sights. There is a great little restaurant/beer pub on the corner, we had delicious reibekuchen (potato pancakes) and spargel (white asparagus, in season) there and the beer was good too. The... more

Lack of an elevator was a minor annoyance given the weight of our luggage, but any reasonably fit person should have no real concerns. The... more

We have just returned from a trip, which included three days in Cologne, where we stayed at Hotel Im Kupferkessel. We really enjoyed our stay there. Sandra at the reception spoke very good English so did her husband. They serve quite a good breakfast and the room was very clean. We were rather crammed because we opted for a double... more

I loved staying here. The owners are very nice and their English is great so everything was very easy. Breakfasts consists of soft boiled egg, breads, cheese, meats and plenty of coffee, all served to you (as opposed to a buffet). An easy 10 minute walk to the Dom. I agree with other reviewers in that you must be prepared... more

Pros and cons + Great location, only about 10 min from the railway station and nearby there's lots of pubs and restaurants + Friendly staff + Very clean + Loved the pillows and the blanket - Breakfast, although good, there's not a lot to choose from - Stairs. Takes forever to climb up, especially with a heavy suitcase - Shower.... more
