About
Hotel Am Chlodwigplatz
Hotel Am Chlodwigplatz sits on a quiet street in Cologne's Südstadt quarter, five minutes on foot from the medieval Severinstorburg gate. The 18-room property offers city views, allergy-free rooms, and a non-smoking policy throughout. Guests can check in quickly and store luggage before exploring.
The hotel's location is its strongest asset: a tram stop is just outside, linking to the city centre and beyond, while the surrounding streets are packed with cafés, restaurants, and shops. Rooms are classically furnished with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and heating, and the staff consistently earns top marks for friendliness.
