Superb Boutique Hotel

Superb boutique hotel within walking distance of the city attractions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable if a little too minimalist. Would definitely recommend the Qvest as a place to stay in Cologne.

This is a hidden gem...

This hotel is located in a fantastic spot - very close to everything but in a very quiet square. The building is stunning, and the rooms have a great premium feel to them. Staff were exceptionally good at both reception and the bar. We stayed in a large suite on the ground floor, which was very impressive. There's a great restaurant out on the square, too.

Loved this hotel. In a lovely quiet square next to a beautiful church. Very clean and spacious room and comfy bed. The building was stunning and gave it a special feel. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Cologne is a very walkable city and the hotel is only a ten minute walk from the main train station. We'd stay again.

I have stayed at the Qvest several times; it’s a beautiful boutique hotel located on a beautiful plaza across from an historic church. Quiet but easy walking and access to transport and key neighborhoods.

We booked 2 suites. The room was clean and spacious, but decor very stark and minimalist. The bathroom is black and dark. The amount of lights in the room could be increased. There's a great coffee machine in the room, but no milk. No shower cap in the room or at the front desk. The hotel lobby has one very interesting sofa, which is hugely uncomfortable. All in all very chic, but lacking warmth and life.

Nice hotel with short distances

We stayed here for few nights during our longer trip in Europe. The hotel was really well maintained and looked posh. Room was in excellent condition and only flaw that I saw was the lack of AC. This could make the rooms a little bit too hot on warm summer days. I do understand that because the hotel is a historical building, installing AC would ruin the excellent looks and the overall experience. But overall we were really, really satisfied on the experience and can recommend the place!
