This hotel was the cherry on top of our trip!

The hotel where everything is 5 star: hospitality, breakfast, room, and location. We really enjoyed our 2 night visit. The hotel is really small and therefore really quiet as well. The hosts really make you feel welcome and are so helpful. Our stay at Stern am Rathaus was the cherry on top of our Cologne visit!
