Pros +
- I chose this hotel based on the positive reviews, and it definitely met my expectations. The breakfast was good, the room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel was quiet and peaceful. Its location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. If I come back again, I would definitely choose the same hotel.
- Friendly service, nice bed. Good breakfast, but the absolutely best coffee I had in ages!! My compliments. The hotel is located in central Rodenkirchen, so it is an absolute gem. I personally loved the style of the hotel.
- Clean comfortable room. Friendly staff Good breakfast
Cons -
- The rooms could do with an extra socket or two, but this is probably due to the age of the hotel.
- Abit difficult to find the hotel parking which was private but still had to pay €9 per extra. Bed was abit hard for me . No tea / coffee kettle in the room and no where to get a drink without going out to a pub or Restaurant . After 350 km drive a cup of coffee would have been nice.
- there was no towels in the room

We had a really nice and comfortable stay at this charming, family-owned hotel in Rodenkirchen. The owner is incredibly friendly and made the experience feel personal—definitely an interesting conversation partner! The breakfast was good, served in a cozy dinery, and the room was decent and comfortable. The location is fantastic—Rodenkirchen feels like its own small town, with low buildings, plenty of shops, restaurants, and a beautiful promenade along the Rhine. It’s also very easy to get to the city center, with just a 20-25 minute ride by tram. Highly recommended for a pleasant stay in Cologne!
all very nice and good quality and clean, kind and helpful staff

Friendly service,Comfortable bed, good bathroom facilities, clean roomDecent price
Breakfast was not great
It was near the tram, a lovely little suburb with facilities, and the motorway. There is parking available. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful
Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Just too far out of town. Took me 1 and a half hours to walk from centre of cologne. Trams were not running well due to a large influx of people.
Good location, a 15-minute tram ride away from Koln city centre. Provided lovely local fresh bread in the morning.
Check-in times are very tight as it's a family run hotel.
The hotel is located in a very nice small town (district of Cologne) with many good restaurants, good connection to the centre of the city and a promenade along the Rhein river. This district is easily accessed from A3 an A4 highways. Straight drive from the hotel to the centre of the city along the Rhein.
The bed in the single room was quite narrow.
The room was clean & the attendant was very nice! Overall the hotel was very clean & quiet.
The beds were uncomfortable, the shower head hook was broken and there’s no way to get back into the hotel from the parking lot after hours and it’s not a short walk to the front door :(
nice neighborhood, very kind staff, easy parking
Exceptionally lovely staff. They were responsive and waited for us to reach before closing the reception for the day. Ms. Pedra was lovely and suggested things to do, places to visit, and recommendations for restaurants. With parking spaces available at a cheaper price compared to other places, it was easy with a car.
It is a little away from the city centre, but the tram station is close, so you can reach the centre in 25 mins. Rooms were not heated up before arrival, so it was pretty cold initially.
Fantastic receptionist!! Always nice, I was able to check in the morning and have breakfast even if I was late.
Very nice room and staff. Good breakfast and comfortable location.
Second/additional bed wasn’t comfortable for sleeping.
Nice neighbourhood, comfortable beds
Bathroom`s door didn`t close and was too small, extra bed wasn`t comfortable, not many choices at breakfast and the coffee was cold
Good location . Quiet area. Pleasant staff .
Tasty breakfast, friendly staff, location was nice too.
It was too warm in the room and the room only had one small window, which made it hard to ventilate. They did provide some fans in the room but they were not very helpful.
The breakfast was delicious and at a convenient time frame. The location of the hotel is in calm neighbourhood with nice bakeries, shops, and a local market for a full german experience. The room is spacious
I visited with my dog and I enjoyed the location in regards to nearby spots to walk her or go for lunch or dinner.
Breakfast was a little basic, could benefit from some pastries too.
