Hotel und Restaurant Löwenbräu Köln

I had an ensuite single room, which was a well sized. Bed was comfy and the room was quiet and clean. There was a TV and air conditioning in the room. Bathroom was smaller than average, but perfectly sized for only one person. The hotel was very centrally located, with only a 5 min walk to the front of the cathedral. There was also a 10% discount if you ate at the restaurant, though I didn't use this in my stay.

Shower water pressure was a little weak, my sink didn't have a plug (which made shaving harder than normal). There is no lift, so you have to climb stairs to get to your room (not a problem for me, but I should mention it)

Great location along the Rhein, and 10 minutes to the train station by foot. Room was cozy and clean. Really enjoyed the breakfast buffet that was included (cold cuts, bread, grilled vegetables, eggs and bacon and sausage, cereals and yogurt). They hotel restaurant has a charming, rustic vibe with lighted candles and photos/artwork hanging on the wall, which was a very nice ambience while having breakfast! The staff was also very friendly, and managed to check me in very early in the morning!

It's not that I didn't like it, as I knew this going in, but if you are a light sleeper, do know that it can get loud on the weekends because the hotel is near other bars. If you're sensitive to noise, bring ear plugs!

We loved the style of the hotel - the rooms and beds were ideal and very comfortable, the location is perfect and the staff were great.

It was abit noisy first thing in the mornings but closing the windows did help alot.

Hotel was in such a fantastic location, really central with a beautiful view over the river. The Restaurant was really special. The room initially looked cute, clean & well presented. I was on the top level so up a few flights of stairs - which were not bad at all with just a backpack- but it wouldn't suit anyone with heavy luggage or mobility issues. Bathroom was quite nice - but tiny (suited me well as I'm short, but wouldn't fit anyone tall in there). All the staff I talked to were very friendly.

It was a bit noisey until around midnight - music + people, but nothing unexpected given the busy area it is in. Unfortunately during the night I was visited by a family of pretty decent sized spiders - there was no sign of them earlier - no obvious cobwebs or anything in the room, but I got up to go to the loo and there they all were, hanging from the ceilings & the drapes, I killed 7 & some more got away from me = 0 sleep for the rest of the night. I checked out in the morning (a day early) as I couldn't deal with that for another night, I was offered another room but at that point I was not convinced they didn't crawl out've the air ventilation system or something - no compensation has been made, I was told the weather brings them out - which I get, especially with old buildings- but it needs to be managed with some fumigating/insect treatment.
