Cerano City Hotel Köln am Dom

If you want to compare this to a chain hotel, then you're going to be disappointed. Individual hotels cannot compete on the economies of scale and access to equity. However, this hotel was great. Okay, the room was a bit small but the bed was extremely comfortable and - even though Carneval was raging in the city - the hotel is in a quiet road meaning that I slept like a very happy log. There was even a modern TV with Chromecast function. But frankly, the best part comes in the morning: I can honestly say that the breakfast is one of the best I've ever had in a hotel. Huge array of really tasty food and drinks with very helpful and attentive staff. Didn't need to eat for the rest of the day!

As Koln room rate is not cheap as a tourist city in general, pay US13 more and you can get a single room with private bath instead of dormitory bed of hostel. Really can’t complain for it. It’s quite worth for solo traveler. Room is a bit old in facilities but clean in basic, quite similar to student dorm (in terms of single room). Location is good just one metro stop to Dom. (Can even by foot for 15-20 minutes). Have supermarket within 5 minutes on foot.

The staff was very accommodating, we arrived at midnight and they had a key box outside the front entry with our key. The communication after hours was excellent. The room was very clean and comfortable, the perfect getaway after a day in the city centre. In the morning, the breakfast was ample and tasty (especially the Birch yoghurt), and the staff very friendly.

Last minute booking for someone else. The staff was very helpful, thanks to the delayed trains, it was not possible to make in the check in time. It was easy to find the hotel, very good location close to the train station. Good price for a last minute booking during the EURO 24 time. Everything was fine. I would stay again.

Brilliant location, quiet, clean, excellent shower, a varied and fresh excellent breakfast.
