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.

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.

外観、ロビー、内装はとても素敵です。 しかしシングルルームは途中階から蒸し暑い階段を1階分登る必要があります。 同じく蒸し暑い部屋には少ししか開かない小さな窓が1つ、小さな扇風機のみ…と、夏に過ごすにはつらい環境でした。 シャワーとトイレは別。冷蔵庫、スリッパは部屋にあり。省スペースで考えられた設計です。 中央駅からは徒歩15分ほど、荷物があると少し面倒な距離。 隣が教会で治安に問題はありませんでした。

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!

Stille og centralt hotel, med forbedringspotietial

Hotellet ligger centralt, men der er samtidigt stille. Der er ikke elevator til 6. etage, så man skal tage trappen fra 5. sal til 6. sal. Der er ikke et særskilt badeværelse, så man bader i samme rum som hvor sengen står. Højden på bruser hovedet er 1,6 meter, så hvis du er høj bliver det akavet at rage et brusebad. Personalet er venligt, men er uopmærksomme og der er dårlig stemning personalet imellem. Spis morgenmad et andet sted, pris og kvalitet hænger ikke sammen.
