“Hotel Koenigshof The Arthouse lands you steps from Cologne's iconic cathedral, and I appreciate that the breakfast hours accommodate early risers and late sleepers alike. It strikes me as a practical choice for visitors wanting to be in the thick of things, and the rooftop terrace seals the deal with its cathedral views. While it's a solid base for exploring, be aware that occasional elevator hiccups might mean taking the stairs.”

The location allowed quick access to the train station. it was super close to the cathedral, a definite plus. the staff were very cute. I found the receptionists helpful answering my questions. the room i stayed in was clean. I appreciated that.
The shower wasn't great. The shower head was loose, so i couldn't secure it properly to get a good angle.

The location are very good. The staff was very friendly. They let us keep bikes inside the building because we were nervous about storing them outside.
The plumbing was bad. The shower head was broken so I had to hold it while showering. The faucet was wobbly and did not fixed. There were no mugs for hot drinks, even if they give you tea and coffee.
