1460 Veranstaltungsraum

Function room facility

👍👍 Many thanks to the 1460 team! We celebrated a surprise party there with around 50 people and the location and the team were simply outstanding.

Da Mai (Chinesische Küche)

Chinese restaurant

👍👍 Delicious. Finding vegan dumplings made from organic spelled flour was the first surprise. Next was the salad. It was fresh, diverse in the best sense of the word and came with a blackberry-lavender (!) dressing. The vegan dumplings were filled with spinach and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious. Don'...

BonBon Cologne

Fashion accessories store

👍👍 Me and my girlfriend found this super cosy place by chance walking around the city while looking for a quiet place to enjoy a nice espresso. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better setting. What made the place stand out from other crowded touristic places, apart from the excellent coffee, was...

Body Beauty Bar

Facial spa

👍👍 I am the owner and am happy about every honest review. I love hanging out with you at the bar and offering you soothing body and beauty treatments.

Legend Hotel

Hotel

👍👍 Wirklich ein sehr schönes modern eingerichtetes Hotel. Wir waren für eine Übernachtung dort und haben es nicht bereut. Die Lage ist einfach perfekt. Wir haben zum alten Markt mit offenem Fenster geschlafen und die Lautstärke hielt sich bei unserem Aufenthalt in Grenzen. Besonders toll fanden wir die...

Nico's kneipe

Pub

👍👍 A small but nice pub. The owners are very warm and seem to have a big heart, also for Ukrainians. We will definitely visit this pub again next time we are in Cologne! A big “thank you” for everything.

Café Pronto

Coffee shop

👍👍 Great for a short stop. Great espresso, café and cappuccino. Very chic little stop. The product range will be expanded in the summer. If you're in town, just stop by in front of the sports check. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Bar

Stadt Treff

Bar

😠 I'm still completely speechless. I've never experienced something like that in a Cologne pub. Oh, what am I saying... I've never experienced something like that anywhere in the world. You want to enjoy a delicious, cool Kölsch on a beautiful summer evening BUT you can't get Kölsch. WHY? Because only...

FISCHWERK

Fish store

😠 Eine bodenlose Frechheit!! Nicht zu empfehlen!!! Dieses Backfischbrötchen für € 4,50!!!! Bitte kauft dort nicht! Weniger geht nicht und das für den Preis! Ein Fischstäbchen zwischen einem Billigbrötchen für €4,50.

LOUIS Cafe am Dom

Cafe

👍👍 My absolute favourite Café in cologne. The place is decorated very well and the atmosphere is very cozy, you feel instantly welcomed. I often come here to study, or just to drink a coffee/ bubble tea and catch up with friends. The cake selection is super delicious, I’ve tried many of them and all of...

Zur Kaiserin

Bar

😠 Very unfriendly host, rude and rude. Foreigners are not welcome here. It became violent when we asked why we weren't being served. An innkeeper like that doesn't belong in Cologne. I would sabotage a bar like that with that kind of attitude!
