Central Hotel Am Dom - Cologne

Only stayed for a quick overnight stop but was surprised to have tea/coffee making facilities, a safe and range of TV channels. Room was small but perfectly adequate, staff friendly and room spotless. Excellent hotel.

Upon checking in the staff were happy to speak to me in either German or English, though pleasant enough they were a bit slow to recognise that I was waiting to be served. The hotel has a very useful central location, very close to the main train station and the cathedral. However, this central location does not make for a quiet night's sleep - at least not in the room I stayed in which overlooked the street - despite having double glazing it still felt as if someone had brought the outside in. For anyone travelling with anything more than hand luggage this may not be an advisable choice, as there is no lift to provide access to non-ground-floor rooms. This made carrying an 18kg suitcase up two flights of stairs on one's own a challenge. The basic services were fine; free TV in the room, mini-bar, phone etc. However access to the Wifi is not included and this costs extra: 12,50€ for 24 hours, or 10€ for 2 hours, or 5€ for 30minutes. I was not aware of this before checking in. If you would like breakfast, it's an extra 9,40€ (or thereabouts) per day. There is a Chinese restaurant incorporated into the ground floor of the hotel, which contributes to a lot of noise inside the building - and a certain number of rooms involve weaving your way past the kitchens to get to your set of stairs. For a longer stay, on a budget, this hotel may be suitable, but for a little extra pppn you may find better somewhere else.

Had a nice couple of days at the hotel am dom. Staff was very friendly and clear. Room was clean and big enough as we were only there at night. Two separate beds put together were very uncomfortable. Beds kept separating during the night. The Chinese restaurant in the basement was a little bit strange. Very distinctive smells, and even saw a mouse/rat and cockroach when returning in the night. Overall Good value for money

Had to find somewhere to stay for a family funeral. Picked this hotel despite mixed reviews on this site. We found the bedroom to be functional, recently refurbished, very clean and tidy. Bathroom above average size compared with other hotels. Nice touch was flat screen TV. Breakfast cost 9.9 euros extra - just about value for money, usaul selection of meats/cheese/cereals etc. I would stay here agin - absolutely no problems at all. Very centrally located for Railway station and the Dom.

Pity no shower curtain in bathroom.Otherwise warm,friendly hotel.

We arrived very late in the evening to be greeted by a very chipper man who was quite a laugh. He was very quick to inform us about our "french bed" which most young couples liked since the bed didn't have a seam. A non-smoking room was not available so the room smelled heavily of smoke. It helped when we opened the door and the window to air out the room. Overall we were quite comfortable and it was very centrally located. We passed on the breakfast as we felt it was very pricey but did have a very nice dinner there.

Its in a great location, right by the train station and the Dom, and is very easy to find. However, the bathroom is very compact, leaving hardly any room to move around, and you have to step over the toilet to get to the very tiny shower. My room also had a strange hole in the wall to some sort of electrical fixture. The elevator is also quite small, fitting just one person if they have even a small amount of luggage. Generally, the hotel is okay....despite the dimensions of some things and the boring decor its mostly clean, and is in a great location.

This hotel is very central in Cologne. Everything in the main area is accessible by walking - we didnt need to use public transport because it was all there for you. Parking (if you need it) is in an underground car park 5 mins walk away at €18 per day.

Great location, large breakfast selection, very accomodating staff
