The staff was very courteous to us, and the room was just what we needed. The staff also helped us get accustomed to the area, and helped to make us feel right at home! The property is located very close to the Christmas Markets, and quite close to the train station as well.

Burr its cold in here...

Overall, it's in a perfect location for the Cathedral and the Chocolate Museum. The room was big enough to comfortably sleep my family of 6. However, the room was so cold! No matter what we did, it was still much too cold for comfort. Reception offered us a small space heater on the 2nd night which helped a little. The parking garage is convenient, only and $19 a night but a very tight squeeze for larger vehicles.

Clean and friendly hotel

We had a one night stay at this great little hotel. Staff were friendly, the rooms clean and there are nice communal areas, including an outdoor terrace. It's on the 6th floor but there’s a lift. Location is close to the old town, only 10 or so minutes to cathedral and train station, and there's a decent small supemarket on the ground floor open quite late (10pm on our weekday) Just check in advance that you have the rooms you require, however, as we booked twins and were given doubles (although beds were the equivalent of 2 singles in width with separate duvets)

This is NOT a hotel. It is a hostel. The floors were really dirty in our room. My son took his shoes off, took a few steps, and got on the bed… the amiunt of dirt and hair (not ours) that fell off his socks onto the bed was gross.

Park in the parking garage at the hotel property. Take the elevator to the 6th floor and you’re right there at the Rock hotel! So convenient. Facility is very clean and staff very helpful. Rooms are small, but if all you’re going to do is sleep there then it’s perfect. Also there’s a grocery store on the ground level.

Super centralt hotel

Hotellet ligger super centralt, på toppen af et P-hus. Så man kører ind i P-Huset og tager elevatoren op til 6. etage, og så er man på hotellet. Hotellet ligger lige rundt om hjørnet fra gågaden, og ca. 400 m fra Kölner Dom.

Affordable option for one night if in transit

Downtown location, ok for a one-night stay if you are in transit. The hotel is on the rooftop of a Parking building. Everything is in the 6th floor of the building. Access is through a narrow and obscure corridor with self-payment parking machines at the entrance. If I had know this, I don't book it as it didn't feel safe at all. The rooms are exactly as you see it in the pictures, nothing special but well kept and clean. If you need a place to sleep one night and continue your journey, this can be an affordable option. If you are looking for more hotel amenities and better stay experience, this is not the hotel for you.

Good for families

We were in Cologne for one night in transit and wanted an affordable hotel with three beds and not a lot of frills. This is exactly what we got. If this is what you need, you will be happy. If you have expectations of comfort and luxury, then this is not for you.

Smallest room of our trip

Convenient location once you're there, but finding the parking lot and even finding the hotel was a challenge. It is near the Cathedral, but a lot of sketchy people hang around the whole area, especially after dark. If you have a wider vehicle, be very care driving up the ramp. We had a very small room with a pillar that made it difficult to get out of bed. No chair to sit on. Also no space for a chair.
