What a cute, wonderful place. Hotel is updated, clean and comfortable. The host was so kind and even provided us a fan for the room. Convenient location, approximately 10-15 min walk to central train station and cathedral. Couldn't be happier.

Pretty relaxed stay. Check in and out could be done completely online, which left few chances for in person customer service. Location was nice as it was walkable from the station, but far enough away to not feel like you're in the hub of the city. The room and bathroom were pretty nice with some thoughtful amenities. My only quelm was not knowing a lot of the rooms are three floors up and only accessible with a steep staircase. I was traveling with a large suitcase by myself so it was a bit of a noisy struggle to get my bag up. I did try to ask for a room closer to the ground floor, but the type of room I paid for (1b & 1b) was only at the top and I felt like the owner was a bit passive about this. I love getting to connect with people while traveling and unfortunately you just won't get much of that from here, but if that's your jam then this would be a great place to stay.Pro• Had a bottle opener in fridge• Heaters in room• Open floor space• Lounge was redone compared to past photos & had board games, outlets and maps available• Pretty steady wifi throughout the whole buildingCon• No elevator/staircase was VERY steep• Never saw another guest onceNeutral/ things to note• They have two cats that you may get a glimpse of, but don't go beyond the lounge area.• You could check in as soon as you get the code for your door, which I wasn't aware of and thought I still had to wait until the time I said I'd be checking in.

Very clean and very nice furnishing. I have to report that I was traveling with my family, and my 3 year old kid have had a problem of health on our last night... The owner was so kind to find an extra room for us (for free!) so that we could wait for our plane (that was late night) inside and with a bed and a bathroom. That has been priceless. Thanks Mrs. Sandra!!!

It's a good hotel for budget travelling. Shared bathroom which is very clean and hallway brightly lit. Eventhough the room given has a window but there's no view. It's a fire escape ladder. Also had to lug my 20kg luggage up 2 flights of stairs. No lift, be prepared. There's 2 house cats. British shorthair. They are so cute. Good enough reason to stay.

We stayed at this hotel for one night only and next time we'll be in Köln (hopefully for a longer time) we know where to go!|What we loved was the warm atmosphere of the breakfast room, a rustic and familiar place. …

We had a wonderful 3 night stay here in Dec 2013! The rooms are very comfortable and clean, and our hosts were very friendly and helpful to us throughout our stay. They even packed us breakfast and lunch sandwiches when we had to leave so early for a flight that we could not make to breakfast in the morning. (The wifi is also much faster and reliable than in most hotels!)

Checked in with no problem, dropped off my luggage and went off to enjoy the day. The room is perfect for a solo traveller. Some doors may need some oiling as they creak. The way many of German doors work (at least from my experience), you should use your key to close doors rather than slam them shut. They served inclusive breakfast which was good: variety of salami, cheese, breads, juices/milk/tea/coffee, cereal, jam/spreads, egg etc.. Would definitely recommend!

I was staying four days in Cologne and so spent three nights at the Hotel im Kupferkessel. The hotel has a good location, 10 minutes to the nearest underground station or 20 minutes walk to Hansaring station. …

Great value. Clean. Good wifi. Good location. The breakfast was good too with plenty to eat. Good access to city centre. Pub very near if you want a beer but not noisy. I would go back again. Family run.
