This place is privatly owned and situated right in the middle of the old part of town. So beware, that it is hard to reach by car, since its a pedestrian only zone. Best advice: Drive into the "Gross Sankt Martin" parking facilities. Its a new small building right in between older parts of the city. Interior rather modern and stylish, but very quaint and peacefull choice of meaterials and colors. Rooms are spacefull, very comfortable, large glas windows go back to a nice courtyard (church). I would highly recommend this place to every first time visitor, since you really in the middle of everything but still in a quiet surrounding. Due tu the courtyard and people trafficing it can get a little noisy at night, but noting really serious. Breakfast is very good. Restaurants are nearby.

I stayed at the Lint Hotel for a week. The staff in particular were very friendly and helpful; I was especially impressed by them. The location is also fantastic - a short stroll down the street to the restaurants and walk along the river, close to the Dom and other city attractions. Even in the midst of the big CSD celebrations, it was also surprisingly quiet in the back room off the street. If you want five-star accommodations, perhaps this is not the hotel for you. But it is clean and pleasant, reasonably priced and in a great spot.

My wife and I wanted a base to visit the Christmas Markets. The Lint hotel is situated in a quiet, narrow cobbled street in the Old Town within easy walking distance of the train and coach stations, five of the six Christmas markets, the Dom, several museums, the fabulous shopping areas, and good, reasonably priced eating houses.
The young hotel staff were very welcoming,spoke good english and made us welcome. (A replacement light bulb was fitted almost immediately in our room.) The rooms are accessed by a fairly steep spiral staircase, minimally but more than adequately and comfortably furnished with modern built in units. The rooms have their own thermostats to ensure a very pleasant temperature.
Self-service breakfast is good and substantial.(Coffee could have been hotter.)

A fantastic find in the heart of Cologne. We selected this hotel for its location and reviews, and weren't disappointed. Myself, my husband and my daughter , along with another couple, have just spent 2 nights at the lint for the christmas markets. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance of all the sights, and the station, and very central for the markets.

All the staff were extremely friendly, and went out of there way to help us. We were travelling with our 16 month old daughter, and the hotel managed to rustle up a fantastic travel cot for us to use.

The rooms are compact but adequate, and very warm and cosy! Breakfast is the usual continental style, but beautifully layed out, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

We had some lovely meals, The X11 apostles just around the corner (italian) served us an excellent evening meal, and we discovered a local gem near to the chocolate museum called the "witches house", serving fantastic local dishes. The pub looks uninspiring from the outside , but the warm welcome and food made up our initial misgivings.
