Hotel Ahl Meerkatzen

Rather impressive historical building (over 750 years old) with black panelling and faded portraits, well-appointed, comfortable, bright, warm. Good modern room and bathroom. -- Varied breakfast, including proper German bread and plant-based milk. -- Central location at the edge of the Old Town and close to the River Rhine. -- Very friendly and efficient staff, genuinely helpful.

Good location especially for Christmas market. Staff friendly and breakfast very good. Food was sufficient and always well stock All credit to the waitress who worked very hard to accommodate everyone needs. Good price for comfortable beds and needs.

An easy walk from the station and Cologne cathedral through the Aldstadt and all its squares, cafes, bars and ice cream shops. Near the Rhine and bridges. Breakfast was decent.

We liked the central location and breakfast. Staff was kind as well.

The location is good as not far from the cathedral. The hotel is an old building with some nice decoration and wooden elements. The room was decent and included everything we needed. It is great to also have complimentary breakfast.
