  Great location. I was expecting more for the price

  Liked: Verry good location, a few pleasant walking minutes from the dom. It had blindfolds and nice wallpapers. Cleaning service everyday. Watter, coffee, tea and bombons brought daily in the room. I understand that for Germany, free watter is a real treat, so much appreciated.

  Disliked: Horible smell coming from the bathroom. We opened the window for fresh air but there was no mosquito net. A couple of cockroaches in the bedroom. The blindfolds partially dropped everytime. The pillows were close to nothing. The cheap bed plywood was visible as the mattress was smaller. The TV was on the right side of the bed and was preventing the window from opening. Bedside and electrical plug on only one side of the bed. The walls looked as they have not been painted for a long time. I did not see any AC but we did not needed it in May. I was expecting more for the price.

  ⚠️ Booked, Paid, Arrived… and the Hotel Was Closed

  Liked: ⚠️ Please read this before booking Hotel Königshof The Arthouse I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel a responsibility to share this experience because I hope it helps someone avoid the same situation. I had a fully paid, confirmed reservation at Hotel Königshof The Arthouse from July 1 to July 4/2026. After an international flight from Armenia to Germany, I arrived at the hotel about an hour before check-in, around 2pm. Instead, I discovered that the hotel was temporarily closed and not accepting guests. What made this especially frustrating was that I had never been informed in advance. There was no notification before my arrival that the hotel was closed, despite my reservation being confirmed and paid. With nowhere to stay after a long international journey, I had to contact Booking.com using international phone calls, which cost me around €20, and I had to pay for another hotel while waiting for my refund to be processed/ it will take from 2-10days. I was finally able to relocate and check into another hotel around 6–7 p.m. The stress, uncertainty, and inconvenience were so unbearable. After traveling to another country, the last thing anyone expects is to arrive at a hotel they have already paid for and find that it cannot accommodate them. I appreciate that Booking.com helped process my refund, but I genuinely don't understand how a property that was temporarily closed could still accept reservations and payments. If this ever happens to you, don't cancel the reservation yourself. Contact Booking.com immediately so they can investigate the situation and assist with the refund process. I also can't stop thinking about travelers who might find themselves in the same situation but are unable to immediately contact Booking.com, afford international calls, or pay for another hotel on the spot. After a long journey in a foreign country, the stress and panic alone could leave someone feeling completely helpless. That is exactly why I am sharing this experience on every platform I can. My goal is not to attack anyone—it is to make other travelers aware so they know what to do if this ever happens. I hope my experience helps even one person avoid the stress, uncertainty, and financial burden that I had to go through. I also hope this encourages both the hotel and booking platforms to communicate with guests before arrival whenever a property is unable to accommodate confirmed reservations. No traveler should arrive in a foreign country with a paid booking only to discover they have nowhere to stay.

  Total disaster and a scam

  Liked: Nothing the hotel was closed by the police and we where kicked out of the property so far neither Booking or the owner has reached out to solve the problem. No refund has been made.

  Excellent selection

  Liked: Excellent location, as in walking distance of the Dome, walking distance of old city shopping, 5 min from Koln main station, safe area. Room was just nice, and I have been allocated a spacious room.

  Disliked: Location, staff, especially Mr. Hasan who first met me.
