Noisy location
I stayed in a single room with a shower on the 4th floor. My main complaint is that I was above a pub called Papa Joe’s and this was very noisy until 1.30am in the morning. It was difficult to fall asleep, even with the windows closed! Breakfast was good and reception staff were friendly.

Thank you for your positive feedback. Some of our guests consider our central location a pro, some consider it a con (because of the noise) - I hope you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

good location, passable place to sleep
The check-in staff were nice. The room I rented was quite small with carpet that didn’t quite give me the feeling that the place was super clean, neither did the kind of dingy hall/stair area. I understand most choose the location for being next to the water and restaurants, but I didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy those features during my very short visit, so cannot comment on them. There is parking for €24/night about a 5 minute walk away next to the cathedral. Hot shower, comfortable enough bed. This place got the job done when it comes to basics. One thing that made me very uncomfortable, though, was after I turned the deadbolt on my room, sat on the bed and started to do some quick work on my laptop, a man walked into my room. He didn’t speak English, and I could not understand what he was asking or saying. He had a key with a red tag on it (the doors are accessed by a key card). He shuffled away after moving some boxes that were in the hallway. I don’t know if he had been a longterm renter of the room before me, was perhaps a maintenance employee or what. Anyhow, I didn’t feel very confident in sleeping in the room as a solo traveling woman after that, but I figured out a way to jam the desk chair under the deadbolt so it couldn’t be turned by and external key. It could have been an innocent mistake, but I really could not grasp exactly what happened to confirm completely so it rubbed me the wrong way.

Rooms were in well used condition but clean, probably not uncommon for many of the smaller hotels in this area. Overall good experience with this hotel. Main selling point was location. This is the area you want to stay in if you want to explore Cologne. It is close to lots of eating and sightseeing. Excellent location and we enjoyed our experience!

I enjoyed my stay, the hotel is easy to reach on foot from Köln Hbf, and is situated by the river in the altstadt. My single room was tiny, with a micro wash basin, this didn't spoil my stay though. The staff were pleasant, and the breakfast was good. If i were to visit Köln again i would have no hesitation in using Hotel Löwenbrau.

A Treasure on the Rhine
Location excellent for any plan in Koln. Ambience is over the top. The staff are so helpful and kind. The food is more than excellent, however, the breakfast could use a beefy up. The restaurant staff is the best in the industry! And the chef, well, can this guy cook or what! Only downside is the steps. Lots of stairs. If you are elderly or have walking issues, unfortunately this great hotel may not be for you.

Cute Quaint and Great Service
This has to be one of the most adorable buildings in the cutest area or Cologne. I thought it was a little weird that I had to use my key card and go across the hall to use the toilet/shower.... then back across to the bedroom for the sink, but it wasn't nearly as inconvenient as I thought and what else can you expect from these adorable older, tall thin, buildings. The service downstairs at the bar was great. I was traveling alone and happy to have friendly conversation with the staff downstairs while I sat at the bar. Plus you get a discount on food and drinks if you go downstairs while staying at the hotel!

Three days on the Rhine
Wonderful location close to all the stops and transport. The rivers cruise companies are right in front of the hotel. We booked the river cruise and the two day hop on hop off. This is a great way to see the entire city. Prebook for guaranteed seating for your exact time. The hotel is not air conditioned but the evening rain helped cool things off; two nice fans were in the room. When I checked in I was told the price of breakfast and decided to pass on it. The day after check out I remembered that I did purchase the breakfast option. Wasted 30+ euro (booked several hotels on vacation should have checked this reservation). Anyway the staff was friendly and accommodating would definitely return here. Food was great at the restaurant but we were on a budget and opted for lesser priced shops.

Cosy Cologne
If you want to experience the energy of the city and get a taste of the weekend night life this definitely the place to stay. The rooms are typical Europe I.e. small, but adequate and the hotel is old but serviceable. It is super central and does not lack in the character department. It is located right on the river and is 200m from the Cologne Cathedral and HBF Station.

Not hugely impressive. The hotel was slightly smelly and the toilet was the closest to my bed that I have known - could basically reach out and touch it. Also lots of noise, e.g. when anyone else used toilets in nearby rooms. The bar downstairs was nice though, and location is good.

The staff here are wonderful. There are no elevators to the hotel floors but the staff helps carry bags and often other visitors (strong men) offered to carry the bags up the stairs for me. It sits on the banks of the Rhine, is close to museums, Cologne Cathedral and great restaurants, is walking distance to the train station. Walid Almadi the day manager was very helpful when I needed anything: printing the train passes, how to store a suitcase at the train station, etc. They have a free breakfast bar full of amazing food.

Pleasant hotel, great experience.
This hotel was in a fantastic location, looks out onto the Rhine, short walk from Christmas markets, shopping, bars, restaurants, museums and Cathedral. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. The only strange thing was that my private bathroom was across the hall from my room and very small but this was a minor inconvenience. The walls were also very thin and the restaurant open until late which may not be good if you are a light sleeper. I was very pleased with this hotel and would stay again without hesitation if visiting Cologne.

I stayed here for a couple of days visiting Cologne. This is quite a cheap hotel right in the centre of the city, on the banks of the Rhine. Room is basic and cosy but for a couple of nights it's fine for a visit. It's quiet in the evening, bar was decent too, and overall is a great place to stay.
