Though close to Cologne centre, it’s placed well out of side in a yard which can be accessed only by charming but tiny and hidden backstreets. Be sure to locate it very precise in advance. The breakfast staff was friendly, but the breakfast itself was mediocre by German standards. Odd arrangement: ca 8 tables are squeezed in to a tiny... more

Excellent 'standard' hotel well located in Cologne centre - about 5-10minutes walk from teh Dom and close to the river and shopping area. I stayed in July when outside temperatures were 30 degrees+ but did not have any problem with the lack of airconditioning - my room was cool. There was noise outside at night but it began to die... more

This hotel has a great location. When we stayed here it was the hight of summer and this hotel has no air con! So it was a bit unbearabel at times, but this is common in most german hotels. The only bonus is that the floors are tiled in the rooms not carpeted! The hotel is located in the ciy... more

Stayed but one night in a family room (converted attic, 4th floor) where the under floor heating was not working. The outside temperature dropped to -1C and additional duvets 'were not available'. After much discussion, in German, with Reception, two electric space heaters were delivered to the rooms. The fan in one unit was detached from the motor, rendering the... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 3 day stay in Cologne, staying at Hotel Caprice. The location of the hotel is excellent, in the old town and literally 2 minute walk from the river, 5 minutes from the Dom and 5 minutes from the shops. The hotel itself was ok. There was a kind of peroxide smell... more

This room can be quiet as is situated in a courtyard and is 2 minutes walk to the Rhine. The cathedral is about 5 minutes walk as is all the main shopping street. Staff were ploite and... more

I stayed for business trip for two nights. I booked a non-smoking single room and was positively surprised by the reasonable rates. However, the room (especially the curtains and the bed) reeked of cold smoke. I asked the receptionist if I could get a non-smoking room. The answer was that my room is a non-smoking room and they can unfortunately... more

4 of us stayed here on jan 1, 2007. Entering the lobby to check in, the room was filled with cigarette smoke and smelled. The staff were unfriendly; never smiled and actually quite grumpy. We were called to check out at 11am even though it states on the website that check out time is 12! The bed in one double... more

I was in this hotel one night January 7, 2006 with a lady friend (twin room on the first floor). Very central location (very close to the Markt place in the hearth of the old town), ten minutes by walk from central station. There are a lot of restaurants and "brauerei" close by (we tried "Sion" historic brauerei which was... more
