Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Cityclass Hotel Alter Markt enjoys a superb location, steps away from the Heinzels Wintermarchen Christmas market and within easy reach of the Cologne Cathedral, Peters Brauhaus, and the central train station. Guests appreciate the modern and clean rooms, some offering fantastic views of the city and cathedral, with well-soundproofed rooms despite the hotel's central location. While some guests noted smaller room sizes or a lack of amenities, the amazing breakfast and convenient access to attractions consistently receive high praise. The ability to open windows is a plus, and some rooms even feature spacious layouts with king beds, showers, and bathtubs.
