CityClass Hotel Alter Markt

We chose this hotel to visit the Christmas Markets and we couldn't have picked better. The main Heinzels Winter Fairytale market was right outside the hotel and the one at Cologne Cathedral was a few minutes walk away. All the other markets around Cologne were easy to visit due to great transport links. The public areas of the hotel were clean and comfortable and the restaurant for breakfast was spacious with enough choice to make it worthwhile to have breakfast included in the price. We were leaving really early on our last day so would miss the breakfast but the hotel was happy to make up a bag with rolls, fruit and a drink to take with us to the airport. The staff were lovely and really helpful when asking for information about the markets we wanted to visit. Our twin room was huge and I think it was for disabled visitors (which we weren't) and in a really quiet location on the 3rd floor. The beds were comfortable and I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending this hotel for people wishing to visit for the Christmas Markets.

My partner and I stayed in the junior suite and I would definitely recommend for the view of the cathedral. The bed was very comfortable but let down by thin pillows and the room was clean. The hotel is in a great location for food and drinks throughout the day as well as the main attractions and staff were friendly and helpful.

Very conveniently located with the main train station about 6 minutes walk. Room was compact but had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Very quiet and relaxing and we did not hear any noise either within the hotel or from outside. We did not eat here but plenty of restaurants nearby. Easy check in, lady in reception was very nice . Check out was good also . Great place for exploring Cologne.

My friend and I stayed here for Cologne Pride and it was located in the City Centre, we were close to a lot of sight seeing attractions. The staff were really welcoming and allowed us to leave our bags at reception before check-in and after check-out. The room was clean, comfortable and air conditioned, and was cleaned everyday. The bathroom was lovely and modern. Our room had a gorgeous view of the Cathedral too.

We had a great short break in Cologne staying at the hotel. Perfect location to walk to the Dom, shopping area and all other main attractions. We had a large room with comfortable bed and great shower and the hotel looked after our luggage when we arrived and before we left. We found the room cold one evening and two additional heaters were brought to us immediately. We wold stay there again and recommend the hotel.
