Hotel Ludwig Superior

Excellent location in Cologne. Easy walking to the station, Cathedral and old town. The hotel was delightfully German without the glossiness of more corporate hotels. True German hospitality. Good quality breakfast too.

This was a super traditional German hotel in a fantastic location. All staff were brilliant. The breakfast buffet included in the room price was excellent. I would go back and recommend to anyone.

Nothing

The staff in the hotel were extremely friendly and hospitable, especially the Consierge. Magnificent hospitality. The room was specious and very clean. Location is 10 of 10 if you need a place near the main locations in the city. Thanks again to the staff who allowed us to leave our packs for a day even after we checked out of the room. Breakfast is very nice as well. One of the best "value for money" places i have ever stayed at.

All in all, I thought everything were good except what I didn't like. Read below.

#1. On the booking.com, it lists itself to be equipped with A/C. However, only 1/2 of the rooms come with A/C, according to the staff. I got a room without one, and, guess what, a mosquito snuck into my room through the open window (too hot in the room during my stay in mid-August 2025, so no other options). #2. My room didn't come with security vault. Perhaps it's just me, but not having a place to securely store passport, etc. wasn't really cool feeling.
