Staying in hotels in Cologne?

If you are in our wonderful cathedral city for business, but also privately, then you always need a good place to stay for a short stay over several days. This should of course meet your requirements so that you can spend a satisfied and pleasant night. Because only if you are satisfied will you keep your time in Cologne in positive memories.

Sleeping in an accommodation

Anyone looking for an would like to spend their night or usually several nights in an accommodation in the cathedral city. From a formal point of view, it is an overnight stay in one of the possible accommodations in the cathedral city. We now want to go into more detail about the various options that are available for this. Because there are a lot of them! The correspondingly high demand for this in Cologne naturally gives many people the idea of making a little money with it.

Possibilities for an overnight stay

As already mentioned above, new ways are constantly being sought to offer overnight accommodation . Unfortunately, there are also more and more people who offer this "black" product, which then means without a corresponding business, without paying taxes or the cultural tax to the city of Cologne. First of all I would like to emphasize that the Ferienwohnung-Koeln.com has registered a business, meets all the requirements of the city and the authorities and of course "dutifully" pays taxes on the income received and transfers the so-called culture tax to the treasury.

And now we just want to list the multitude of possibilities for an overnight stay in Cologne and then explain something:

the Hotel or Hotels
the motel
the Pension
the hostel or the youth hostel
a vacation home
So-called assembly room or assembly apartment
Private room in an apartment or house
Guest room or guest room or even a guest house
Boats
Campsites with your options for tents, mobile homes etc.

The hotel

This is certainly the classic for an overnight stay in Kölle am Rhein! There are numerous hotels in every price range. From budget to exclusive and classy, we have everything on offer here in the cathedral city. The prices are then of course accordingly. With large rooms or small rooms, in the center or a bit outside, with good ratings or bad ratings, only 2 stars or 5 stars, convenient city location or with a high price! We can find these hotels everywhere: directly at the cathedral, in the north of the old town, at the airport, at the park, in Bonn, at the Mediapark, and of course in our favorite district in Deutz, in Leverkusen or Hürth.

Now there are still numerous differences in the equipment and the location and also ultimately the pricing in the hotel sector. You will find hotel offers of all kinds! There is a suitable offer for virtually every budget and every mood.

The motel

The next type of accommodation is the motel . What is the official definition for it? Well, the motel is a rest stop or an inn, which is located directly on a trunk road. Access is direct and easy from the car park, usually always without reception and directly with a code or card payment. In some countries this type of overnight stay is also called a machine hotel. Incidentally, the term is a made-up word for the merging of the two words: engine and hotel. This motor hotel is particularly well-known and popular in America, which can be understood as the country of birth for it. The very first of its kind was opened there on December 12th, 1925!

The pension

Another type of overnight stay is the possibility of an overnight stay in a guesthouse. Pensions are accommodation which (to a limited extent) provides almost similar services to a hotel. In the past, pensions were also offered under the term "guest rooms". However, this term has become out of fashion over the years and today almost no one searches the Internet with this word. They are usually offered for rent by private room providers, and this is particularly common, of course, in so-called tourist regions. Or in large cities, where many craftsmen, fitters or representatives are looking for a solid but affordable option for an overnight stay. Simple rooms or guest rooms in a house are sufficient. Because nothing else is offered here.

The hostel or the hostel

The youth hostels are particularly popular with school classes and large tour groups! Here you can usually sleep very centrally and very cheaply in multi-bed rooms . So if you don't mind sleeping with several people in one room, you should try an overnight stay here. But of course you can sleep better in your own accommodation with us!

Stay in a holiday apartment

And now we come into play! From our point of view, this is of course the best way to stay in Cologne! With us in a beautiful and cozy apartment! We also offer vacation at a flat rate, because we sleep two people in a double bed for the price of one person! In contrast to the hotels, this is a cheap option to spend the night in the center of Cologne.

Request a free quote and then book with us! When tourism comes to Cologne, it doesn't always have to be expensive! When the weather is nice, discover Cologne's best corners and take a wonderful city trip. This is possible with us without any problems. Important information for you: We would like to offer you good service, but for organizational reasons we can only offer accommodation and no breakfast . Thank you for your understanding. In every apartment you will find a kitchen with a fridge!

Private accommodation is inexpensive and offers great service! Experience a great city trip and discover the culture and all the sights of Cologne!

Fitter's apartments

The need is there and therefore of course some providers have also specialized in this group of people. The demands are not that high, other things are more important! For example:

Sleeps for several people
free parking space
large kitchen with fridge
easy access by car to the next motorway.

Craftsmen come in large groups, want to have a roof over their heads cheaply and cheaply and, of course, usually don't look in the center, but rather outside, so that the large van can also find a free parking space. You can see that there are completely different interests here than with normal tourists.

Private room

It used to be quite normal and not frowned upon to rent a private room, perhaps also called exhibition room , to the appropriate group of people. That way you could earn good pocket money and if it worked well, then of course the guests came to the same big fair every year. The whole thing worked even without the Internet and the portals, which only "earn a golden nose" with the mediation.

Completely superfluous, because the promised security does not exist. Once the broker has done his "work" and the business "above the stage", then the internet portal is usually no longer very active.

Guest room or guest house

These are certainly also terms from the past, which are no longer used and searched for today. The Internet has changed the world and (at least in a big city) no one comes up with the idea of looking for a so-called guest room. You might still find this in the country, with the classic signs in front of the house. You know it from old films or from your vacation in the country. You won't find this in Cologne.

Boats

The search for the perfect and good return creates creativity in some people. If you have a boat, for example, you can of course rent it out and offer it for the night. Of course, it is questionable whether the effort is worthwhile, because such a furnished rental is usually associated with effort, time and money. If you want to earn money, you have to invest money first and certainly a lot more on the water! I am particularly thinking of:

Special insurance
Acquisition cost of the boat
Berth in a port

Campsite and Co.

When we have the big events in the city (Gamescom for example), there is always a room emergency and a price explosion! Then such alternative quarters come back into fashion and suddenly entire tent cities actually emerge under the Cologne Rhine bridges, as we actually only know them from the economic crisis in America. But here, of course, the focus is on inexpensive overnight accommodation! Sometimes people stand with the motorhome on Siegburgerstrasse and buy a day ticket for 4 euros.

The reasons for the stay

Now we have seen how you can best get through the night, now we want to briefly consider why you visit the cathedral city at all! Possible reasons to visit the carnival capital are for example:

Of course the Cologne Carnival
the Gamescom
the Anuga
the FIBO or the Photokina
a career change
the Cologne Cathedral
a city trip
our beautiful museums

The conclusion

A visit to the Rhine is definitely worth it, you are certainly convinced of that now. And you got to know the many different types of accommodation. Of course, we particularly recommend ours to you! That is clear! Because you don't have to travel to one of the many star hotels such as:
