Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Boarding-House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's location on Gummersbacher Straße, a busy street in Cologne's Eifel district, may expose lower floors to traffic noise. The lift is located on every floor, so you won't need to worry about long walks to access rooms on higher floors.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the lift, as they may be more prone to noise from the constant traffic on Gummersbacher Straße, which is a major road in the area.

🪟

Best views

Rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, but be aware that the hotel's location in a urban area means that the views may be partially obstructed by nearby buildings.

😴

Quietest floors

4th floor and above

🔊 Noise notes

Be prepared for potential street noise from Gummersbacher Straße, which is a busy road in the Eifel district of Cologne.

Insider tips

Check-in and check-out are handled by the hotel's reception desk, located on the ground floor. Be prepared to show your ID and payment method. If you're driving, be aware that parking options may be limited in the area, and consider using a nearby public parking garage for more convenient access.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🏦
Where to exchange

Use ATM withdrawals from bank-owned machines (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Köln/Bonn Airport and tourist centres – they mark up heavily.

💳
Cards & contactless

Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in supermarkets, chain stores, and sit-down restaurants; many smaller cafés and bakeries are cash-only, so keep €20–€50 in your wallet.

🪙
Tipping etiquette

Round up to the next euro in cafés and bakeries. In restaurants, 5–10% rounded up to a neat total is standard (e.g., €18.50 → €20). Taxis: round up to the nearest euro. Hotel porters: €1–2 per bag.

🌮
Street food & cheap eats

The area around Ebertplatz has several kebab and pizza stands. Zülpicher Platz and near the university (east of 50679) have clusters of cheap Imbiss wagons.

🛒
Budget groceries

Aldi, Netto, and Lidl are the budget supermarket chains — all within a 10–15 minute walk from most points in 50679.

👕
Affordable clothes

For budget shopping, head to the C&A department store or H&M on Schildergasse in central Köln (15 minutes by tram). No market stalls for clothing in this postal district.

🎫
Cheapest way around

A single-ticket KVB tram/bus ride is €3.00; a 24-hour group ticket (up to 5 people) costs €9.40 and covers the inner city. From the airport, take S-Bahn line S13 (€5.00 single) instead of the Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe airport bus (€10+).

💡
Money-saving tips

Buy a VRS 24-hour ticket for unlimited travel if you’ll take more than two tram rides. Eat at Imbiss stands (Kebab, Currywurst) rather than sit-down restaurants for lunch. Stick to tap water (Leitungswasser, free in your accommodation) and avoid bottled water at shops.
