What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Glockengasse is described as a centrally located base with clean rooms and friendly staff, offering no frills but solid basics for short stays, though some guests report dated spaces, many stairs, and occasional room comfort issues.

The location is repeatedly praised for walkability to the main station, cathedral, shops, and Christmas markets, with several guests also finding it quiet at night. Rooms are compact and functional; showers are usually hot with good pressure, though a few noted drainage or temperature problems and some disliked the pillows or firmer mattresses. Check-in is often straightforward, though reception is not always staffed and communication can be limited; breakfast receives frequent positive comments. Overall, expect a budget stay with essential comforts and few extras.

Hotel Glockengasse has all you need without any frills. It’s very dated, does not have an elevator, but is clean and has easy access to the center of Koln. If you require perks this isn’t your place. If you need a cheap basic clean room then it’s perfect.

Ich war ziemlich erstaunt wie das Hotel zu so einer guten Bewertung kommt - vielleicht ist es die Lage in der Kölner Innenstadt? Wir waren zwei Nächte dort und fanden das Zimmer schrecklich - nicht nur das Bett insbesondere Lacken und Kopfkissen waren eine Katastrophe und wir hatten beide danach Nackenschmerzen. Der Frühstücksbereich sieht auch ganz anders aus und viel schlimmer es stinkt nach Zigarettenrauch - im Zimmer haben auch schon Leute geraucht (dafür kann der Betreiber allerdings nichts). Bitte nicht von den Bildern täuschen lassen da sind nur ein paar richtig der Rest ist schlichtweg gelogen oder aus früheren Zeiten. Alles in allem für das Angebot viel zu teuer aber um Nachts zu frieren kann ich auch billiger wohnen und bekomme wahrscheinlich auch eine anständige Hotelrechnung- schade den die Lage ist ziemlich zentral.

You need to buy new pillows, they are terrible, everything inside is broken together and you sleep like on stones. The mattress is too hard, the bed is uncomfortable, the room is hot and this windmill does not help, the price is too high if there is not even air conditioning.

We were not given any instructions, or email on how to check-in, as no one was present and doors were locked two hours prior to check-in closeout. Only way we didn't end up on the streets, as there was no phone number an American phone or Whatsapp could contact, was another tenant aiding us. Room was cramped with pillows little more than pillowcases. Breakfast was facetious at best, as we were instructed that the food laid out wasn't for guests, even though our reservation said so, and one of the ONLY staff scolded us when we just tried being polite and asking questions. Finally we only met a 'reception' on the 2nd day that we were lucky to see, which demanded a city tax of 4% of our total price which for some reason wasn't part of the original booking, and afterwards we were demeaned when we asked how to check out as the owner was in the process of leaving before 1500 and we wanted to be as non-problematic as possible.

The room was clean and comfortable, basically what you would expect from a ‘no frills’ hotel. Check in was quick and straightforward. The hotel is at the end of Glockenglasse and was very quiet at night. There’s a bar next door serving traditional German food and local beer, which was very pleasant and friendly. All in all it was a very pleasant stay there.
