Haus Wessel

Here Wessel and Frau Wessel were very welcoming, and couldn't do enough for you. Very near to tram stop for a 20-minute journey in to the city centre.

We really enjoyed our long weekend stay at Hotel Wessel. The hosts were lovely and caring. They found time to chat with us and made us feel like family. They greeted us with a glass of local beer. The guesthouse and the restaurant were nicely decorated with interesting antique items. Almost like being in a museum! The facilities were clean and comfortable. Local specialties served. The room had everything you might possibly need during your stay. The breakfast was delicious.

Parking might be a challenge. Street parking is free, but sparse. Make sure to prearrange parking if you are driving. The hotel is in a driving distance to downtown Cologne.

The person in charge is adorable, nice, great

Remember the past

Haus Wessel is the quintessential German gasthaus. Old school charm with a host and hostess that went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our stay. We arrived as guests and left as friends. Train station a short walk away for trips into the city/cathedral/restaurants/shopping.

Nice and very friendly owners Interesting vibe inside the house Own bathroom

The location is about 25 min on the tram from the city center. Install KVB app on the phone and register there upfront to be able to buy tickets. There are no ticket machines on a lot of the tram stops. And it is very convenient and cheaper in the app.

The Wessels are the loveliest, most accommodating people. We had bikes to store, had to leave early on a Sunday morning and they made this work. They set everything ready so we could have coffee first thing, made us a big packed breakfast (that lasted us our entire day of travelling). The hotel is very traditional which makes it really comfortable. The location is in a village setting with cycle paths and woods nearby, an approximate 30 min. Ride to the Koln/Bonn Airport. Would have been super easy and sll on cycle paths except for the road maintenance underway.

The Wessels were so sweet and friendly, and the whole experience was a highlight of our trip rather than just a place to sleep.

Amazing traditional German guest house. Herr Wessel and his wife were incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was exactly what a German Gasthaus should provide. Absolutely perfect. Rooms were comfortable and well kept. Refrigerator was even stocked with affordable drinks and a "night cap" dessert! Local area had great restaurants, including the one with the hotel, within easy walking distance. Much safer and quieter than staying downtown and paying for parking. Much better to stay here, take a quick train ride directly to the city and avoid all the traffic.
