Loved the conversion from monastery to hotel. Very classy. Really liked opening the window to see the garden and there is no need for the fan when you can open the window wide. The bed was good and the bathroom was nice and clean. Over all a nice room in a good location out of the busy center but still in a great lively area. Close to the river and in an area full of nice shops and restaurants and cafes.

Only little things. The magnifying mirror in the bathroom was too high and too far away to use. Only one plug next to each side of bed, luckily we had extra connection sockets with us. Unfortunately we had little choice with our dates and there was a gaming convention in the city so this was the MOST expensive hotel room we have ever had! As such we couldn’t afford the breakfast too, but the room looked beautiful . I would go back under normal prices.

St. Josef was the perfect, cozy stay for my work trip! Located in a beautiful area of the city (highly recommend checking out Haus Muller, the restaurant down the street), it was walking distance from the local train line and very close to the river. The room was clean and quiet, with a beautiful courtyard view. Highly recommend!

The breakfast was good (particularly the coffee) however there seemed to be some bees in the breakfast area. They also seemed to be enjoying the breakfast but I'd rather they did so outside. ;) The doors were left open for the breeze as my stay was in the summer, so their presence was understandable.

Absolutely fantastic establishment! I have nothing but praise for this hotel - from the reception, through the superb cleanliness, until the very little request you are treated truly like the most exquisite guest. Should I even mention the incredible premises of the convent that speak for themselves (incredibly atmospheric!). The hotel is newly renovated, superbly comfortable (even the smallest of rooms) and in a perfect location close to the city center of Cologne as well as the modern port area and Rhine. You won't want to stay anywhere else.

The only downside is the noise coming from the street and from the corridor. Also maybe the lack of curtains - jalousie windows didn't do the trick.

Large single mattress was comfortable enough and the shower had a nice stone floor. The high ceilings made the room feel bigger than it was.

The lack of a safe in the room was odd. They also didn’t service my room. The desk was very rickety (it kind of folded down from the wall and was not well secured) so not suitable if you needed to work. Internet was fine of the first day but very patchy on the second day.

Everything was nice. The room exceeded my expectations, we had a beautiful inside garden view from our room. Definitely, I will recommend this property to my friends :)

If you are travelling with your friend, an open bathroom and toilet can be an issue.

The hotel is located about 20 minutes walk away from the city centre in a pleasant neighbourhood. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast in the refectory of the original monastery.

The single room on the top floor - under the roof - was tiny, especially the bathroom. Since I'm small, I fitted but it might be inconvenient for a taller person. However, it was OK for one night.

Nice location, in a quiet neighborhood, very well connected by public transport. The building is clean and welcoming and has the charm of an old structure. The room is clean and comfortable, particularly the mattress.

The room is a bit small for 2 people and there is only one chair. Duvets are very warm and that makes it necessary to sleep with an open window. The pillows are too big and soft (but this is a personal opinion). No small shower hose and the water jet is somewhat weak.

Breakfast is pretty good. The hotel is placed in the old city part and it is nice to walk around. Moreover there are plenty of restaurants available nearby for the different taste. The hotel staff is very polite and helpful.

i would recommend to separate a bathroom and bedroom with a door. I was staying in room No 301 and it was quite uncomfortable that the bed directly looks to the toilet. And there is no option to hide this view.

This lovely, welcoming hotel has a delightful feel. The room was spacious and had a delightful view over the courtyard and chapel. Breakfast was very good and good value, served in the chapel. There was good space to layer up before heading out. There were so many eating options nearby. We really enjoyed this hotel.

Breakfast tables were a little cramped.

Really friendly staff, I had a cosy rooftop room which was lovely, very quiet so I could sleep well! Excellent location within walking distance of the cathedral and city centre and just what I needed as a base for exploring the area around Cologne.

The showerhead was fixed much higher than I could reach and so the stream of water didn't actually go on me but instead soaked the floor, it felt unfair for the cleaners and as a vertically challenged person, it was more effort to shower than I appreciated! It'd be great if these were height adjustable.
