The hotel is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the main railway station. The staff are extremely helpful, polite and professional. The rooms are very clean and there is a restaurant on the premises that serves breakfast should you decide to include it. The city centre is also a 5 to 10 minute walk to the Cathedral Square. Highly recommended,

This was a bit of an odd hotel. It was in a good location but as you approach, you can tell it's more geared to be something else. Rooms were fine but basic. There was no kettle which was a first for us. Breakfast was just fine. It definitely felt more like 3* than 4*. Sirens at night were an issue too. Worth it for the location but pricey for what it was

I had a wonderful 1-night stay at the Maternushaus. The location was perfect, within walking distance from the Cologne main train station (Köln Hauptbahnhof). The facility was very clean, and, while not fancy by any means, it had all that I needed: a very clean single room with private bathroom and a comfortable bed, TV, several electric outlets, good WiFi, etc. The included breakfast was excellent, and there's also a free drinking water station. The staff was very kind and helpful. Above all, I was very thankful for an onsite chapel with 24x7 perpetual Adoration.
