My wife and I wanted a base to visit the Christmas Markets. The Lint hotel is situated in a quiet, narrow cobbled street in the Old Town within easy walking distance of the train and coach stations, five of the six Christmas markets, the Dom, several museums, the fabulous shopping areas, and good, reasonably priced eating houses. The young hotel... more

A fantastic find in the heart of Cologne. We selected this hotel for its location and reviews, and weren't disappointed. Myself, my husband and my daughter , along with another couple, have just spent 2 nights at the lint for the christmas markets. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance of all the sights, and the station, and very... more

My wife and I spent 6 nights at the Lint-Hotel in July 2008. The stay was perfectly satisfactory. Lint-Hotel is a small, presumably private (non-chain) property located in the heart of Cologne's AltStadt 2 minutes from the Rhine and 7-8 minutes from the Dom. Location is ideal. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are small and basic but comfortable. Moderate... more

Booked a room at the lint the same day I was to arrive. Used another booking service, not the hotel directly. (Hotel website rate was 120 Euro, the booking service rate was 82 Euro, not including parking or breakfast) The hardest part is finding the hotel. You can't drive directly there, since it's in a pedestrian only area. You CAN... more

The Lint is a very modern boutique style hotel although I think it was a little pricey for what is in reality posh Ikea style with no bath and no wardrobe. The rooms have a lovely juliet style balconey overlooking a small square although we found this to be quite noisy at night (it was 2 weekends before Christmas though)... more

This is a wonderful small hotel in a great location. It is off a square--or large open space--not really a square--down a tiny street and a short walk to the dom. There are plenty of places to eat nearby. We had a car and were anxious to get rid of it as quickly as possible. There is an underground parking... more

I spent a lovely weekend in Köln during which I stayed in the Lint hotel. It is very well situated, less than ten minutes walking from the Cathedral and just a few steps from the romanesque church of Gross St. Martin (superb as a matter of fact). The room was clean, although not too big, with a balcony to Gross... more

First, the pros: Ideally situated, clean and modern. It is a few minute stroll to the Cathedral Dom / metro. You can also walk to all the main museums within minutes. There are plenty of nightlife and dining options right outside your door. It is in the Aldstadt (old town) and is in a pedestrian-only zone, so it really is... more

A great little hotel, clean and modern and located very centrally. Just a 5 - 10 minute walk to the main train station / cathedral and the helpful and friendly staff will e-mail you directions. Also very near to the two best Christmas markets, and not far to the boat and medieval markets (not as good as the Cathedral and... more
