The room was very quiet although I did hear the TV in the neighboring room for about an hour, which was slightly annoying. Luckily it stopped at around the time I went to bed. Breakfast buffet was very good.

This hotel is disgusting, smelly, old, not maintained properly, only 1 socket in the room, the bathroom has very bad smell. the room is wretched. Does not worth the cost at all. I stayed 2 hours in the hope to get refund , and I left the room and ordered a taxi and went to stay at Hilton Koln, since it was impossible to remain in this room, and I hope to get refund. Although they refuse. I think you are responsible for what you offer to clients and this hotel is horrible, although it gets some good reviews from clients, its not the truth. GO and check! I expect to be refunded!

Unfortunately, upon my arrival I was told the hotel was overbooked and I was being sent to the hotel across the road. This would have been fine as I was still in the same location but I was assured it was “just as nice” and it certainly wasn’t. The hotel I was put it was not to the same standard or value as the hotel domspitzen so I feel I lost the value of what I paid for. I was told to return to the hotel for breakfast which was nice and the staff were lovely. However, overall I was extremely disappointed and was not happy at all with the hotel I was essentially dumped into

The breakfast alone is worth a visit.

The number one thing I would say about this hotel is the excellent breakfast they provide. It is like they have a Michelin chef working there with all of the unique options that are available. I would stay at this hotel again just for the breakfast. When I initially arrived, they told me they would hold my luggage, and when I came back later, all of the luggage was in a pile in the lobby, which seemed a little odd, but they were able to get me checked in fairly quickly and into my room, which was very well decorated and comfortable. The location near the train station was very convenient.

We choose this hotel for the location , proximity to the Koln Dom and the railway station . The hotel is in an older building and our room was quite small. It doesn’t have air conditioning and it happened that during our stay in May 12-15 Koln experienced a heat wave of 26-27 degrees Celsius. Staff was very attentive and helpful responding to our questions. Buffet breakfast was included and was excellent , so were all the restaurant staff. Highlights of our stay in Koln : visiting the amazing gothic cathedral , including the Treasure museum under the Dom, visit at Ludwig museum of Modern Art , walks along the promenade of Rhine River . PS. In our way by train from Belgium to Koln we stoped to see Aachen with the famous chapel built by Charlemagne. From Koln we also had a day trip to Bonn

Ceiling lamp not available only table lamps and the wall plug was not working we had to remove the tv plug to charge our laptops. Reception staff not friendly at all.

Great city centre stay

We have stayed at the Dom Spitzen before because it is so convenient for the train station and cathedral centre. The staff are lovely and the breakfast selection excellent. My only wish would be for a downstairs lounge area, as there are just a couple of chairs in the reception area. If you struggle with stairs ask to be on the right hand side of the hotel because the left has no lift.

It’s within easy walking distance of the Köln Hbf station and the Dom. It is ideal for visiting the Christmas markets. Having the train virtually on the doorstep it’s a breeze for going to other places such as Aaken etc. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the choices at breakfast are able to suit every diet or taste and set you up for the day

Disappointing

While I reserved this hotel I was given a room in another hotel one block away but with breakfast in this hotel. The reception was also in the other hotel. Rooms were not automatically serviced either. The disappointment was compounded by having an energy tax in addition to a 'city tax' sprung on me when I checked in. There was no warning in advance about this. I understand that the energy tax is a government initiative but I found it offputting and it has put me off returning to Germany. All in all i wouldn't recommend booking this hotel.
