Boutique 009 Köln-City

Location is perfect!

I had a pleasant enough stay in a single room at the Boutique 009 Hotel. The hotel is conveniently situated 5 minutes walk from Cologne main train station in a neighbourhood that felt safe late at night. It is also a short walking distance to the Cathedral and main shopping area. My room was a very clean but very basic single room with tired decor with no views to speak of. The weather was cold as I stayed in January but the room was sufficiently heated. I didn't get a great nights sleep due to the plastic undersheets which caused my sheets to become untucked and ravel up. The bathroom was clean and sufficient. Overall, for the star rating, I found this hotel value for money and would consider staying again but in a better room. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful, to which I could not fault them. Thank you!

Good

Check in took forever. It wasn’t even that we had people in front of us. The pillows were the worst I have ever experienced in a hotel. It was as if they were washed and the filling clumped up in large balls. We had 3 rooms in our group all were the same. The location was great and the rooms were clean. Good value for money but give yourself some time and take your own pillow.

Reasonably priced boutique hotel in quiet pocket of the city near the rear of the central rail station. A tad hard to find if tired. One person on reception when I arrived, who was having to deal with bringing and retrieving luggage from the basement storage area, dealing with arriving and other guests, and answer the telephone.Somewhat chaotic. The Room was very spacious, with a smallish bathroom. the shower was reliant on reflected light. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of order for the 2 days I was there. Also there was no room safe, although there is one at reception. As I have found in Germany, the TV has many stations but little in english. Overall though I would recommend this hotel. It had a homely feel about it, it was reasonably priced, quiet and in a good location. And don’t forget to grab a piece of fruit from reception on the way out each day.

Convenient place near the train station and church

Great place over all, Except for the noise starting at 7am in the morning, Constant noise from the hall way, train station, the road next to the hotel and church bell.

It was a short walk from main train station and away from busy area. Hotel was very cosy and pleasant the same as lady at reception. I had a deluxe room at the top floor which was a bit of a treck to get to especially when you have a heavy suitcase, but it was fine by me, but might be a problem for elder people. I really needed a shot of strong coffee to keep me going with the rest of the evening, but there were no coffee/tea making facilities in the room and not even downstairs when I asked, so I think that is something that hotel should look into. Overall I really enjoyed the stay.

Boutique 009 is very close to the main train station in Cologne. This makes it well situated for exploring the city. The reception and dining areas have been refurbished in a trendy style, which makes them comfortable, warm and welcoming. The staff were all very helpful and polite. The noise from the adjacent road and railway can sometimes be heard in the room.

Could hardly sleep two nights - rooms very warm and located Very close to the train station. The first night I just heard trains all night and it kept me up. Asked for a new room the following day and got moved which was a lot better. Overall the hotel is good for what you pay for. Service is okay. Location is really good, really close to the centre and easy to get to the train station.
