Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Steeple Climb

The ascent involves 533 stone steps in a narrow spiral staircase. While there are no rest areas, the panoramic views of the Rhine River and Old Town from the 97-meter-high platform make it worthwhile.

Handrails are installed throughout, but those with vertigo should reconsider. The tower closes during strong winds or lightning. Emergency call buttons are available at every 100 steps.

Completed in 1880, the Gothic spires were the world's tallest buildings until 1884. The climb passes original 13th-century masonry and the belfry housing eight historic bells.

Photography is permitted, but tripods are prohibited. The stairwell lighting creates dramatic shadows for artistic shots. Best photo spots are at the flying buttress viewing niches.

Large backpacks must be left at the cathedral's cloakroom (€1 fee). Only small crossbody bags are allowed. Lockers accept €1/€2 coins as deposit.

At 60m height, you'll pass the bell chamber where the 3.8-ton Pretiosa bell hangs. Look for stonemasons' medieval graffiti carved into the walls during construction.

Hilton Cologne

This has been the most comfortable stay I’ve had in a long time—truly exceptional! The staff at Hilton Cologne were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. The holiday atmosphere during Christmas was magical, with festive decorations adding charm to every corner of the hotel. The bedding was top-notch—so soft and cozy, I slept like a baby and woke up feeling refreshed. Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient, just a short walk from the train station, which made exploring Cologne effortless. But what truly blew me away? Right behind the hotel, there’s a little street with a surprisingly authentic bubble tea shop and even a biangbiang noodles stall—something I never expected to find in Germany! It added such a fun, unexpected local flavor to my trip. Everything about this hotel—from comfort to location to hidden gems nearby—was perfect. I’ll definitely be back!

Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection by Hilton

Staying at this hotel was an absolutely fantastic experience. The room had excellent soundproofing—no noise from the hallway or outside, making it incredibly peaceful for a good night's sleep. The space was spotless, well-maintained, and the bed was super comfortable. The front desk staff were professional, friendly, and went out of their way to assist with anything we needed. Breakfast was a highlight—great variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious local touches that made it memorable. Getting to Cologne Cathedral is straightforward if you follow the main route, but be careful with map directions—some apps might send you on a slightly confusing detour. Stick to the general direction, and you’ll find your way easily. Overall, the location, service, and comfort make this a top choice. I’d definitely stay here again.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so dinner options were never an issue. Breakfast was especially impressive—wide variety, fresh ingredients, and something for every taste.

art'otel Cologne

Staying at art'otel Cologne was an absolute highlight of my trip to Cologne. The hotel is just a 15-minute walk from the stunning Cologne Cathedral, and I loved strolling along the Rhine River every evening—it’s peaceful and so picturesque. What made it even better? I happened to be there during the Christmas market, which was right outside the hotel doors—festive, lively, and full of charm. The room itself was modern, sleek, and beautifully designed with an artistic flair that made it feel like a gallery. While breakfast at €23 was on the pricier side, it was worth it for the quality and variety. Parking is convenient with two lots available, though the €25 daily fee is steep—still, very useful if you’re driving. Small touches like the kettle and complimentary chocolates added a nice personal touch. Overall, the experience was exceptional, and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stylish, unique stay in Cologne.

CityClass Hotel Alter Markt

We absolutely loved our stay at CityClass Hotel Alter Markt! The attic room was fantastic—spacious, spotlessly clean, and recently renovated with modern touches. The view of Cologne Cathedral from the window was breathtaking, making every morning a delight. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the subway and downtown attractions. Everything about this hotel felt fresh and well thought out. We were so impressed that we’d definitely book here again if we ever return to Cologne. Highly recommended!

Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse

Staying at Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse was a truly enjoyable experience. The on-site dining options were excellent—especially the breakfast, which offered a great variety and delicious quality. The staff went above and beyond with their warm and attentive service, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Despite being located in a bustling area, the hotel itself felt peaceful and quiet, offering a nice retreat from the city’s noise—a real 'calm in the chaos.' The only minor downside is that getting around requires a short taxi ride from the front door, as public transport access isn’t the most convenient nearby. But honestly, everything else more than makes up for it. With such a welcoming atmosphere, clean rooms, and fantastic value, this place is highly recommended. A little lower price would have made it perfect!

I especially loved the view from my room: lush trees and greenery from the nearby park created a peaceful, calming atmosphere. The hotel is spotlessly clean, with a welcoming vibe and excellent attention to detail. What really stood out was the flexibility with luggage storage after check-out—I was able to leave my bags safely even after checking out, which made my travel plans much more relaxed. It’s rare to find such convenience combined with comfort and charm. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Cologne!

Hotel Merian

Staying at Hotel Merian was an absolute delight! Despite being a 3-star property, the quality exceeded my expectations—clean linens, well-proportioned rooms with a spacious and functional layout, and a surprisingly bright atmosphere thanks to the thoughtful lighting throughout: ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, and bedside lamps. The room felt airy and inviting, even without turning on the main light. The promotional rate was fantastic—great value for money. Location-wise, it’s just a short walk from the city center and close to the subway, making exploring Cologne super convenient. I was especially impressed by the excellent soundproofing—no noise from neighboring rooms at all. The staff were another highlight, especially Turann at reception—he had such a cheerful, friendly demeanor and a great sense of humor that instantly put me at ease. Small touches like the hairdryer, kettle (a nice touch for travelers used to Chinese-style amenities), and the mini-fridge (though I didn’t use it) showed real attention to detail. Overall, this hotel delivers comfort, convenience, and a warm welcome—definitely a place I’d return to when visiting Cologne.

Hotel Leonet

Staying at Hotel Leonet was a great experience overall. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and welcoming. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by restaurants, shops, and public transit options. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, delicious, and well-prepared with a good variety of options. The only minor issue was the shower water not getting hot enough, but since it was already a warm day, it wasn’t a problem at all. It’s clear the hotel puts effort into guest comfort and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Cologne and would recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a cozy, well-located base.
