Travellers describe Apartments am Rheingarten as a centrally located, riverfront base near the cathedral and station, with generally clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff, though nightlife noise and inconsistent air conditioning are recurring concerns.
Many like the Rhine views and proximity to dining, while back-facing rooms are typically quieter. Rooms are often spacious but bathrooms can be very small, and several reviews note limited kitchenware in units with kitchenettes. Service is frequently welcoming with easy or early check-in via the restaurant, yet a few guests reported weak responses or language gaps. The restaurant downstairs earns praise, but breakfast feedback is poor; expect a lively waterfront stay with simple, mostly clean rooms.

Really central to everything. Short walk to station and 15 mins to airport. We arrived early but our room was made ready within 20mins and the restaurant manager gave us drinks whilst we waited. Appartment very clean with a view of the Rhine. Lively area. We loved our stay and will be back to Kõln and will def stay at The apartments.

This hotel is within a couple blocks from Cathedral, very convenient. Not your typical reception desk…it’s inside the restaurant. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The rooms were nice and good size. There are several restaurants along the walkway and we had river view. Parking garage was near. Only complaint was the cigarette smoke from outdoor restaurants could be smelled if window was opened on 3rd floor.

Excellent hotel clean and friendly staff. Great location just opposite the river and less then 10 minutes walk to HDF train station. Also brilliant location only a few minutes walk to the Christmas markets and the nightlife and shops. Also bar and restaurant below. Definitely will stay again if I visit Cologne again

Schönes kleines Hotel direkt über einer Cocktailbar in der Kölner Altstadt und direkt am Rhein. Wer Party machen möchte ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Das Zimmer ist bei geschlossenen Fenstern trotzdem ruhig. Nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß zum Hauptbahnhof, Dom und Einkaufszone.

We booked the room because of its proximity to the train station and the river. The location is absolutely great. There is a decent restaurant in the building and about 20 others within 100 meters. We had a view of the river which was nice. The room was clean and had what you would expect from a 3 star hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the wifi worked fine. Having said that, other things have a bit to be desired. There is no air-conditioning, The TV only has Netflix's and it didn't work. In their defense we were too busy to ask them to fix it. The entry, hall and elevator leave a lot to be desired and they smelled. Overall for the location the price was good.

The only positive was the check in. The staff were all very nice and friendly. We got back to our room that night and at midnight found the toilet tank wasnt filling. No one answered and at 0300 i figured out that the toilet, shower, and sink were all connected somehow. In order for the toilet tank to fill, the shower had to be on and in order for the shower to run the sink had to be turned on. Plus there was only hot water. It was so hot we couldn’t take a shower. Then we started seeing the roaches. We got up to 6 in our room, on the third floor, and decided it was time to leave. We left at 0345. We messaged the hotel through Expedia and still haven’t gotten a response 24 hours later. I waited to do this to give them a chance to answer. So, long story short, would not recommend.

This place is a mixed bag. On the good side, the location is wonderful on the Cologne waterfront near the cathedral and many restaurants. on the less good side, we booked a no smoking river view apartment but when we arrived we were given a rear apartment with no view and stank of cigarettes. We asked for a different room but no river view ones seemed to be available (the manager on site spoke little to no english) so we got another back room. On the positive side the rear apartments are quiet but they are also very hot and the aircon did not work.

Perfect location and great service. Only complaint is the noise.. We would wake up to loud people coming home at 2am and then what I can assume to be the staff working at 8am. Yet we were in the corner of the top floor, where I would assume the most isolation/quiet. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Excellent hotel clean and friendly staff. Great location just opposite the river and less then 10 minutes walk to HDF train station. Also brilliant location only a few minutes walk to the Christmas markets and the nightlife and shops. Also bar and restaurant below. Definitely will stay again if I visit Cologne again

場所はとてもよかった。川沿いで、橋ビュー、大聖堂も近い。部屋は広いが、水回りは狭かった。 一階がレストランになっているので、夜中まで明るく賑やかな感じであった。

Schönes kleines Hotel direkt über einer Cocktailbar in der Kölner Altstadt und direkt am Rhein. Wer Party machen möchte ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Das Zimmer ist bei geschlossenen Fenstern trotzdem ruhig. Nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß zum Hauptbahnhof, Dom und Einkaufszone.

This was walking distance from train station. Easy check-in. Clean and spacious room, great bed and wonderful comforter. Restaurant downstairs - all was great - I'd definitely recommend to others.

道が石畳のみなので、大きなスーツケースで行かれる場合はオススメできません。ただ立地はかなり良く、主要な観光地からとても近いので便利です。 周辺は治安も良く、スタッフの対応も素晴らしいです。

We booked the room because of its proximity to the train station and the river. The location is absolutely great. There is a decent restaurant in the building and about 20 others within 100 meters. We had a view of the river which was nice. The room was clean and had what you would expect from a 3 star hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the wifi worked fine. Having said that, other things have a bit to be desired. There is no air-conditioning, The TV only has Netflix's and it didn't work. In their defense we were too busy to ask them to fix it. The entry, hall and elevator leave a lot to be desired and they smelled. Overall for the location the price was good.

This hotel is within a couple blocks from Cathedral, very convenient. Not your typical reception desk…it’s inside the restaurant. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The rooms were nice and good size. There are several restaurants along the walkway and we had river view. Parking garage was near. Only complaint was the cigarette smoke from outdoor restaurants could be smelled if window was opened on 3rd floor.

The only positive was the check in. The staff were all very nice and friendly. We got back to our room that night and at midnight found the toilet tank wasnt filling. No one answered and at 0300 i figured out that the toilet, shower, and sink were all connected somehow. In order for the toilet tank to fill, the shower had to be on and in order for the shower to run the sink had to be turned on. Plus there was only hot water. It was so hot we couldn’t take a shower. Then we started seeing the roaches. We got up to 6 in our room, on the third floor, and decided it was time to leave. We left at 0345. We messaged the hotel through Expedia and still haven’t gotten a response 24 hours later. I waited to do this to give them a chance to answer. So, long story short, would not recommend.
