We arrived at the hotel for a 3 night stay, first impressions were that it was a lovely old hotel. We got our key and then climbed the 4 flights of stairs to our room. When we reached the landing that our room was on we smelled the damp, when we opened our room door which was room 28 the... More

Simple hotel not far from the Hauptbahnhof of Kôln and in the old town. I arrived here on November 10th, and unfortunately that was the start of the Carnaval of Köln. There was a terrible noise on the street until 3 o'clock. I had asked for a "quiet room" but it was clear that they do not read what customers... More

If you're staying at the Lowenbrau, for goodness' sake, arrive before 8 p.m.! After 8, they leave your key at the bar. You'll have to enter through the narrow aisles of a restaurant packed with diners (they serve until 3 a.m.) and bang your luggage into unsympathetic rumpsteak consumers. Round the curve to the bar and you'll get your key... More

I was in a single room on the 4th floor, my shed is bigger... The room was very small, there was a washbasin in my room but despite being told that the bathroom and toilets were on the same floor, mine were on the floor below. True they were private to me but the toilet was almost in the shower... More

We stayed for 1 night in this hotel. The hotel is very well located right in the old town, close to the cathedral. From our room with big windows we had a great view on the river and the boats passing by. The hotel is a bit worn out but on the other hand there is a nice authentic feel.... More

No if it was the last hotel in Cologne would i stop here. Situated in a lovely part of Cologne on the river with great food, and i can not thank Pia the hotel receptionist enough for sorting us another hotel, but the owner i would never trust.

Lowenbrau Altstadt Hotel in Koln is one of the most difficult reviews, I have ever write here... And this because is a small and old hotel, that in first sight seems that hasn't many to give. No elevator, access through their restaurant, old stairs, simple decoration. You initially think it's just "average", hoping that you will not have any bad... More

The hotel is located above a tavern that appears to have been in this location for 500 years. Located on the second and third floors, the hotel rooms are large, and most come with attached bathrooms. The rooms are spacious, non-threatening, and homey. The bath is somewhat dark and the tub can be treacherous to exit, but everything works. The... More

Brother and I stayed for one night and the guy (should have gotten his name) at the check-in was phenomenal. Took time to show us the routes on our map to some breweries, volunteered to put our laundry in the drier while we were out, made calls to help us find a good pool hall. He was great. The room...
