I had a great stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who were attentive and helpful throughout my visit. The room was extremely comfortable, well-decorated, and very clean, providing a relaxing experience. The hotel's location is also excellent, close to several attractions and with easy access to public transportation. The breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of fresh and high-quality options. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit!

This is an interesting property offering tremendous value for money and is a 10-15 minute walk from the main railway station. It is basically a conference centre with accommodation for guests (or delegates). …

Lovely hotel and for the price the service is exceptional. The rooms are very clean, the staff is really friendly. The breakfast is the best I ever had in a hotel. You can find literally every food you can imagine. If I come back to Cologne (and I will because it's a lovely city) I will definitely stay here!

Stayed here during my first ever solo holiday. Staff were informative and helpful and the holiday is in a fantastic location given it is around a 10 minute walk from Cologne Cathedral and Cologne’s central train station (Köln hbf). The room was clean and bed comfy. However, my one complaint is that the bathroom smelled quite odd, especially the toilet that seemed like it needed some sort of deep clean to get rid of the smell. Also, I was unfortunate enough to find a silverfish despite the bathroom seeming relatively clean otherwise.Should these issues be resolved, I would 5 stars!

Excellent place to stay in Cologne, very peaceful, friendly staff, close to the hauptbahnhof and Dom. I stayed here for the Cologne Marathon and couldn't have chosen a better place. I booked using their own website rather than online travel agents.

Incredibly kind and competent customer service - special thanks to Mijo, who completely saved me ! I was stranded in Cologne by the Deutsche Bahn (trains were too delayed). They "booked me a room" with Maternushaus, but there were actually no rooms available when I arrived. Mijo was kind enough to try and get them to give me a new hotel room. Although they promised to do so and call me with the information they did not do so. So, Mijo arranged for me to get a different room at another hotel 4 minutes away. I have lived in Germany for many years and this is the nicest customer service I've ever had. Will definitely come stay at the Maternushaus next time I'm in Cologne (if there's rooms!).

When we were looking for a place to stay in Cologne, we knew we wanted to be within walking distance of the cathedral yet someplace quiet. Maternushaus proved an excellent choice. …

The room was on the smaller side but very clean. Great location and within a short walk to the cathedral. We did not have breakfast. We were able to find a parking spot out front but there is public parking available. Very safe and quiet. Great value.
