Haus Enteresan

What a great place. We only stayed 1 night in Koln, visiting the cathedral and chocolate museum. We chose this hotel because it was cheap and had availability - but actually it was a superb little find. Totally recommended. The “party trick” for the room we had was an unexpected roof terrace!!! So nice - has a bench and a nice sitting area under cover as well as a bench outside on the roof. Lovely view. We didn’t have time to do so but would be great for a quiet evening with a book and a bottle of wine!! Our room fitted the 3 of us - mum, dad and daughter - and the people in the cafe downstairs are so friendly! We arrived first thing, and they were happy for us to drop our bags way before check in, which was nice. Had a lovely coffee and ice cream when we arrived and prices very reasonable for the ice creams - which were delicious!! The room itself has quite a compact private bathroom with a shower, and shampoo /conditioner and towels which were all nice - proper bottles, not those little things. Super clean. Linen and towels were also super clean and nice. tea/coffee kitchenette appears to be shared with one other apartment, but we didn’t see anyone there. Milk was on hand in the fridge and in a carton rather than having to “ration” each cup like in most hotels. Everything was really nice. To be clear, the room is clean and functional - not what you would call “posh”, but practical and was very nice for us. I tend to prefer the “down-to-earth” places, like this - and this was super quirky and nice. The people who run this place had clearly put in a real effort to make it nice and to keep it nice. Thank you!! Location is spot on for seeing the sights - everything is in walking distance. Lovely restaurants and cafes and bars - so much choice, (although the restaurant we picked was quite pricey). This hotel was great though!! And the staff were super nice and friendly also. Roof terrace is the icing on the cake!
