Superb Boutique Hotel

Superb boutique hotel within walking distance of the city attractions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable if a little too minimalist. Would definitely recommend the Qvest as a place to stay in Cologne.

Nice hotel with short distances

We stayed here for few nights during our longer trip in Europe. The hotel was really well maintained and looked posh. Room was in excellent condition and only flaw that I saw was the lack of AC. This could make the rooms a little bit too hot on warm summer days. I do understand that because the hotel is a historical building, installing AC would ruin the excellent looks and the overall experience. But overall we were really, really satisfied on the experience and can recommend the place!

This is a hidden gem...

This hotel is located in a fantastic spot - very close to everything but in a very quiet square. The building is stunning, and the rooms have a great premium feel to them. Staff were exceptionally good at both reception and the bar. We stayed in a large suite on the ground floor, which was very impressive. There's a great restaurant out on the square, too.

Loved this hotel. In a lovely quiet square next to a beautiful church. Very clean and spacious room and comfy bed. The building was stunning and gave it a special feel. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Cologne is a very walkable city and the hotel is only a ten minute walk from the main train station. We'd stay again.

Schönes Design, wenig Komfort

Leider entsprach unser Aufenthalt in nicht den Erwartungen. Der Aufzug war ausser Betrieb, sodass wir unser Gepäck mühsam in den vierten Stock tragen mussten. Das Zimmer waren zwar schön dekoriert , jedoch unangenehm heiss – der bereitgestellte kleine Ventilator konnte kaum Abhilfe schaffen. Am nächsten Morgen wurden unsere Fahrräder durch Wäschewagen blockiert. Als ich dies an der Rezeption meldeten, erhielten wir lediglich ein “ahh ok”.
