Myself and a group of 5 girlfriends spent three nights here just this weekend. We got a really good deal, all paying £45.00 each for the whole duration for a twin room. Location is perfect, just a few minutes walk the the Rhine, a little further to the Dom (Catherdral). We went for the Christmas markets which were really lovely... More

This is a very nice budget hotel within easy walking distance of the cathedral, Rhine river and all local amenities. Very clean rooms, good breakfast and very friendly staff. We had a great time at the Christmas market, it had snowed and looked like wonderland with the christmas trees and christmas lights. Would recommend

I have just returned from spending four nights in this hotel. It's location for the Christmas Markets make it a perfect base for exploring this wonderful city. The staff were friendly and very helpful and helped us with tourist information and advice. The room was clean, a good size and very warm. The typical German breakfast was plentiful and fresh....

We stayed in five hotels in Europe and this was, by far, the worst and biggest disappointment. I looked at the pictures on the website and decided they must have used really bright lights to take the pictures because the pictures made the hotel look much better than it was. I also was surprised by the sex shops on both... More

It's a clean hotel, the breakfast is good. In the evening is smoking in the lobby aloud. From the hotel it is a 5 min walk to the center. The furniture in the room looks a little bit old, but the rooms are clean and decent. For the price we paid a good hotel.

In May I stayed at the Hotel Ahl Meerkatzen in Cologne. This booking was made by a German company as I was attending the drupa trade fair in Dusseldorf. I unfortunately did not do my home work on Tripadvisor as like another reviewer I've now seen, when I got to the hotel the smell of smoke was throughout the reception... More

My wife & I stayed there recently and we were pleasantly surprised. We took a 2-day getaway for some HRC ribs and shopping. We wanted a centrally located, cozy hotel that didn't cost too much. We booked via the internet without problems, checked-in in the evening and walked to Hard Rock in time to get a good table. With us... More

This is my second time in this hotel where i stayed with bunch of friends, since there were Christmas market things in all over the Cologne, prices were quite high for a room & service. The staff is extremely helpful and nice; breakfast in the morning was quite good also. There is paid wi-fi in the hotel (expensive, 30 minutes... More

Stayed there for couple of nights while all things were booked out due to a fair. I don't smoke, so it bothered me that there was the smell of stale cigarettes everywhere - the lobby, the room, the bath towels. I put the on the floor the first morning in the hope of getting fresher ones, but they were just... More
