    Die Bildungsstätte entsprich dem Standard einer Jugendherberge. Das Essen ist einfach, aber ok. Die Lage ist ok, ca. 25 Minuten zur Altdtadt. Leider hört man den Straßenlärm sehr laut im Zimmer, die Fenster sind schlecht isoliert. Es handelt sich um eine Katholische Bildungsstätte, was man auch nicht übersehen kann. Wer also die katholische Kirche und den Erzbischof von Köln finanziell unterstützen möchte ist hier richtig. Ich war leider gezwungen hier zu übernachten, weil der Seminaranbieter in diesem Haus gebucht hat. Ich habe mich sehr unwohl gefühlt. Ich werde bei den Seminaranbieter kein Seminar mehr buchen.

    Maternushaus is a conference-house of the Archdiocese of Cologne with many conference rooms of various sizes. It is also a high-end hotel with a high level restaurant. It follows German simplicity as well as the catholic principle of putting the person first and making you feel loved and highly respected. Adjacent to the lobby there's the Archdiocesan library and also a chapel of the Blessed Sacrament with continuous adoration. Beneath Maternushaus there's a huge parking lot charging 1-1,50€ per hour. An oasis of calm and peace in the middle of city noise.

    Breakfast godtier and plentiful. Rooms were great. Even had AC. The amount of Christianity in the hotel is lacking. We got only 6 prayer cards in the room. The bathroom only had one prayer card in it. There needs to be 2 prayer stickers in the shower. Price wise it's phenomenal. 24/7 check in is great. You can see the dome from the rooms. Really great place to stay in Cologne.

    Leider kann ich nichts zu dem Hotel oder Speisekarte sagen,da Ich lediglich den Tagungsort besuchte. Aber mir war das Gebäude zu steril und unpersönlich. Das Parkhaus ist auch eher teuer.

    Maternushaus is very well located, with the Cologne Cathedral, river, and train stations less than 15 minutes walk away. The rooms are large & clean, but without any tea/coffee making facilities. The complentary hot & cold breakfast is extensive & tasty. I would be happy to use this hotel again on a future visit.

    Eher zufällig sind wir auf dieses Hotel gekommen, das auch ein Tagungszentrum des katholischen Erzbistums Köln ist. Von außen schon imposant, der rote Backsteinbau. Innen eine riesige Lobby, in der auch Veranstaltungen stattfinden, von denen man aber im Zimmer nichts mitbekommt. Die Zimmer: sehr sauber, schlicht, aber modern eingerichtet, bequeme Betten. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist das Bad ohne aktive Abluft. Und tapezierte Baddecken haben halt gerne Wasserflecken. Auch merkt man in der gekachelten Dusche, dass man in den Fugen gegen den Schimmel kämpft, aber es war kein Ausbruch bei uns. Das Frühstück: nicht ausschweifend, aber definitiv alles, was man für einen Start in den Tag benötigt. Am Ende etwas abgegrast, aber satt waren wir immer und geschmeckt hat es überdies. Kleiner Hinweis: Freitags kein Fleisch wegen des katholischen Trägers.

    Sowohl das Essen als auch das überaus freundliche Personal sind zu empfehlen. War zu einer Fortbildung zwei Tage dort. Das einzige was man ihnen vielleicht vorwerfen kann… ist die Übermotivation schonmal den Teller abzuräumen wenn man so gerade eben noch am kauen ist… oder alle anderen am Tisch noch essen. Sonst wirklich sehr gut. Man isst dort auch zu oft zu viel! Ausreichend große Zimmer große Staufläche und sehr umweltbewusst was die Zimmer und den Service angeht. Dann noch die Lage - man ist schnell in der Innenstadt oder am Dom. Gute Kombination - tolles Gesamtpaket.

    Lovely big unusual hotel, large rooms, great value for money. The breakfast was really very good.

    Nice central location to walk to the sights. Breakfast was great. Most staff were very friendly. Old style rooms, bit cramped and out of date heater etc. Decent for the price.

    Got eaten alive by mosquitos inside the room, even with windows closed. Recommend you bring something to deal with that. Otherwise very nice rooms, with a lobby that needs to be seen to be believed. Breakfast was extremely passable.

    Well positionned at walking distance from the train station or city center. Really appreciate the breakfast

  • 2/5 Veronika W. 1 month ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Ich verstehe die vielen guten Bewertungen nicht ganz. Jugendherbergs-Charakter passt ganz gut. Das Zimmer ist schon deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Mit offenem Fenster schlafen war aufgrund des Straßenlärms nicht möglich. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nicht. Da haben günstigere Hostels ansprechendere Zimmer. Das Frühstück war allerdings sehr gut und vielfältig.

    Schöne Location, gut erreichbar. Parkmöglickeiten in der Umgebung und gutes Essen. Die Getränkeauswahl ist recht beschränkt, für das Seminar aber ausreichend.

  • 5/5 Josh K. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice easy stay. Didn’t know the rate came with free breakfast. Enjoy it !

  • 3/5 Krzysztof H. 1 year ago on Google
    Small rooms, bad ventilation, very small lifts. Breakfast ultra weak - mostly only eggs, one kind of yellow chese, w few fruits. If just need to sleep it can be acceptable.

    Roomy, clean, warm, nice people ☺️‼️

    Lovely clean hotel. Breakfast was excellent.

    Sehr freundliches Personal. Die Gastronomie Preise sind ok. Wo bekommt man noch Kaffee für 1€? Frühstück gut. Weniger ist mehr. Dafür keine billigen Hotel aufback' Brötchen. Große Zimmer. Top 👍🏻

    Old building but perfect location, underground parking and functional rooms. Place is ideal as a conference venue.

  • 5/5 Andy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantasic experience. Friendly, professional, it was a pleasure to stay at this establishment.

  • 4/5 Keshini P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice hotel. Super clean, welcoming staff and we were allow to keep our luggage for a long time after check out.

  • 5/5 Oleksii B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good parking place in the centre of Cologne. Not expensive, there is a bathroom upstairs, center is within 10 min walk. In the evening only the main entrance opened (previously also back door was opened/possible to use, but not anymore). The personnel is very helpful.

  • 5/5 Rob G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great hotel. Friendliest staff ever. Nice clean rooms. Breakfast is extensive and it all tastes and looks great.

  • 2/5 Tt F. 4 years ago on Google
    Location is good, breakfast is nice (but there were out of croissants in the morning and there were no new ones at around 8:30hr in the morning.) Almost all staff was friendly, except reception, while this is the first impression you have from the hotel.

  • 5/5 monica c. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a very nice hotel, close to the city center, and the cathedral. You have to walk aprox. 900 meters to the cathedral and the train station. The rooms are very clean, the breakfast is rich and diversified. The staff is very friendly and kind.

    Used to be a hospital. Breakfast is good. Rooms are nice and classical. They have a really huge hall where the reception is located at one end. Reminds me of some movie scene in my mind.

  • 4/5 snigdha s. 1 year ago on Google
    My 2-night stay in this hotel was pleasant. The rooms are cozy, sufficiently sized with a smart usage of space (storage area and locker neatly concealed behind a pull out door). Their breakfast spread is one of the best ones I have had in Europe (mashed sweet potato, zucchini and pumpkin spreads, other than the staple European breakfast..) I guess they don't take the health of their guests lightly, not surprising as there stood once a hospital on these very grounds where the hotel today stands :-) A special mention of the very friendly hosts at the reception.

    Nice hotel in good location with friendly service. The only thing which I couldn't believe it's that there was no ham during breakfast. When I asked for it, they said that it is catholic hotel and they don't eat meat on Fridays... And that gave me very strange feeling about hospitality of this place...

  • 1/5 Fidan A. 1 year ago on Google
    There is an alarm clock in the room, and the staff doesn't care to check if it is on. So i was woken at 6 a.m. and then every 30 min every time with different tune by this awesome special feature of this wonderful hotel. And this at the day of a very important event.... never again!

  • 5/5 Gary Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, good staff, good price, I couldn't wake up for the breakfast which is included in my booking, the staff just arranged the lunch box for me instead, which is really sweet and the lunch box is even delicious, thanks for the nice experience :)

  • 3/5 Ruth G. 1 year ago on Google
    Quaint catholic hotel. Rooms are okay. The heating could have been turned on before our arrival, first night was very cold. Blankets are a tad short. Good shower. Breakfast okay, lousy coffee though.

  • 4/5 George B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean and comfortable rooms. good variety for breakfast. Thank you see you soon again.

  • 5/5 Lawrence M. 1 year ago on Google
    Well run hotel with modern rooms and very good breakfast buffet. It is a religious organization, so be prepared for prayers everywhere.

  • 5/5 Hardeep Singh S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a very big, clean hotel in the middle of city and very reasonable price of rooms. It costs 60€/person/night with breakfast.

  • 5/5 ME [is] YOU [. 1 year ago on Google
    A perfect place for a conference and some nasty stuff since somebody important seems to live in the neighborhood

  • 4/5 y 1 year ago on Google
    The cleaner kept knocking and rushing us to check out that I ended up forgetting some of my belongings in our room :'( I'm going to be sad about this for a long time. Their breakfast also has limited options if you're vegetarian/vegan. Other than that, though, the location is good (walking distance from many tourist spots), and the staff are all helpful and nice.

  • 4/5 Hasan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the biggest room u will experience in Europe. Good friendly staff. Wifi needs improvement. No coffee kettle in the room

  • 4/5 Teddy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice hotel, situated in a former hospital. Staff are friendly, location and prices are good.

  • 5/5 Tatiana V. 3 years ago on Google
    We stayed in a large junior suite. The staff was very welcoming and the reception works 24/7. The breakfast was fresh and healthy! We got a good price deal from booking com and it was great! The only small minus is that the furniture is not stylish at all
