I stayed here on business and it turned out to be a lot nicer than my "regular" hotel. Although this place isn't fancy and certainly doesn't have the facilities of a large, international hotel, if you like a small, hotel with a welcoming, family-run feel, I think this is worth considering. The room was small and basic with a rather... More

Primary reason for travelling to Cologne was to experience the Christmas markets – well worth the visit. Wanted a hotel near the centre but quiet. Stayed at the Hotel Buchholz for two nights. Delivered against all expectations – even managed to park outside the hotel for two days without a ticket! Welcome at the hotel was just right after a... More

As has been said, this Hotel is located less than a 10 minute walk to the east of the Hauptbanhof, I say 'less than 10 minutes' as we walk quickly ! The Hotel is set in a quiet residential road, opposite a modern office block and is a plesant old building. The rooms are of very good size, clean and... More

To my surprise, Hotel Buchholz is located within a 10 minute walk of the Dom Cathedral as well as the train station, which is adjacent to the station. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel very much. Yes, the elevator is small (but at least there is an elevator!) and the rooms and bathrooms are small too. Actually the rooms... More

We very much enjoyed our 2 week stay at Hotel Buchholz. From the moment we arrived at this 18 room hotel, we felt like important guests, accomodated whenever possible by the friendly owners and staff, who seem to be genuinely interested in their guests. They nearly always take the time for a bit of pleasant conversation. Our double room was... More

I visited Cologne for the first time for a conference and booked Hotel Buchholz for two nights. The hotel is within a short walking distance from the city centre, and the Expo centre, and the hotel is generally in a good spot just one block from the river. The hotel is small and cozy and the staff are very friendly... More

Cute little find in Downtown Koln...family owned and operated...cozy rooms and great breakfast. Small sized bathrooms...but it's about the location...nice spot... The hotel is next to some large construction of office buildings that are across the street...but don't let that stop you. The owner and her son were so accomodating... More

A small hotel a very short walk from the railway station offering a particularly warm reception and old fashioned Welsh hospitality from the matriarch of the house. Smallish rooms. For us, the breakfasts were a particular strength and the free internet access was an unexpected but very welcome bonus. More

This is a great place to stay if you are going to Cologne. From the airport, the train goes directly to the main station and then you can walk (3 blocks) or take a taxi (5Euros). Carole (English) and her son Sascha are in charge of the small (17 room) hotel and everything is spotless and well-kept. Though the rooms... More
