FAQs

Before booking:

At the Haus am Dom, you book a spacious apartment while also receiving the service of a hotel. As hosts, we not only welcome you, but are also available to help and advise you during your stay. Our apartments are larger than rooms at most hotels – you have more space and also a small kitchen to cater for yourself. Regular cleaning of the apartment and free high-speed internet are included. The Haus am Dom combines the best of an apartment and a hotel.​​​​​​

This depends on the rate booked. If you have reserved an apartment that cannot be cancelled free of charge, you pay directly when making your booking. If you have booked a rate that can be cancelled free of charge up to 30 days before arrival, we will only charge your credit card 30 days before arrival. If you have booked free cancellation up to 1 day before arrival, payment will only be due at that point.

This depends on which channel you booked through.

The bed levy, bed tax, lodging tax, accommodation tax or culture and tourism tax is a tax that overnight establishments such as hotels have to pay to the municipality based on a statute. The city of Cologne charges a fee of 5% on the total price of the accommodation. Accommodation is exempt from taxation if it is absolutely necessary for professional reasons and if it takes place before 30 June 2024. From 1 July 2024, business stays will also be affected by the tax. As an apartment building, we therefore collect this tax and forward it to the city of Cologne. With the income from the tax, the city supports institutions in the fields of culture, education and tourism.

During your stay

Check-in is guaranteed from 3:00 p.m. Are you arriving in Cologne earlier than that? No problem. You are welcome to leave your luggage with us and explore the city unburdened.

Please give us your approximate arrival time, as our reception is not staffed all the time.

Check out is until 11:00 a.m. Even then, we can store your luggage with us so that you can still experience the city on your day of departure without having to carry heavy suitcases or bags with you.
