We booked this B&B a few months ago for a visit to the Christmas Markets.|My expectations were already high due to the positive reviews that I had read and I did not think that it was possible that they would be exceeded.|They were! …

I first met Michael at his cupcake business Mr. Cake. He shared his love of Cologne with us and now we love Cologne too! There is no better way to experience Cologne than to stay at Michael's B&B. …

This is best described as an experience rather than accommodation - everything was fantastic. The room was spotless (as was the whole place) and had an amazing view of the cathedral. …

My brother and I stayed at Mike's B&B for a few weeks during Anouga and WOW. Truly one of those experiences you will remember and talk about your whole life.Clean, modern, stylish, comfortable, daily breakfast of kings and extremely friendly and helpful host. You will be pampered.Plus Mike's B&B was very affordable relative to the other accommodations options given the busy period.Skips hotels while in Cologne. Mike's B&B will give you the experience of a lifetime.And do try his fantastic cupcakes while you're there. Light, fresh and original. You will not look at a cupcake the same way ever again.

As we travel we sometimes encounter a unique experience that is like no other. Having stayed in many hotels and B&Bs this stay was one of the most memorable! Our host enjoys what he does and he does it well.  …

My husband and I had the most AMAZING stay at Mikel's house! We ended our 3 week Europe vacation in Cologne, and while we absolutely loved the city, Mikel's hospitality is what made our stay even more special.  …

Have been a huge fan of Mikel's cupcake business for years and FINALLY had the chance to have the full "Mikel experience" at B & B Cologne and it was nothing short of absolutely amazing. Mikel is the perfect host. …

We travel a lot both as a couple and with our kids (12 and 17 years) and my family will tell you that I’m a fussy traveller. Mikel’s place was just perfect and exceeded all my expectations. …

I don't think you'll find a more gracious host at a B&B. I have stayed at many other B&B's in my travels and this place is truely exceptional. Mike is a very energetic, personable and pay attention to detail super star. He made our group of 4 feel amazingly special and comfortable during our 2 day stay in early Dec. 2012. We felt very much at home and enjoyed relaxing and getting to know our host. Mike gave us a nice detailed map of Cologne and his opinions on how best to spend our limited time to see the Christmas Markets as well as other how to get a feel for the city as a whole. Every recommendation was a hit for us. Our room was upstairs with it's own private bathroom. Although you have to leave the bedroom to use the bathroom right next door it is down a very private hallway. The room and bathroom were very clean. The decor of the home is very modern and original as the owner is also an artist. As every other writer has mentioned, the breakfast is amazing. It's kind of overwhelming but Mike was on hand to explain what he had presented and how to eat it to get the best taste (being American we don't all know how to eat a pate!) My birthday was on the day of our check out. Mike graciously invited us back in the afternoon to celebrate with a cupcake that I can only describe as an explosion of warm chocolate in my mouth. He also owns Mr. Cupcake. If you only have time to visit 1 city for the Christmas Market season, make it Cologne. After we left Cologne we took a 7 day cruise on the Rhine River to visit Christmas Markets in Germany, France and Switzerland. Cologe was by far the highlight on this side of Germany. Book early and stay B&B Cologne and you will not be disappointed. The location is very central and easy to get to the majority of markets. The nights were very quiet for a good night's rest.
