Gasthaus Wessel
Run by the Wessel family with the warmth of devoted hosts who greet arrivals with a cold Kölsch and easy conversation, this characterful Cologne guesthouse charms with individually decorated rooms, among them a blue room, a black-and-white room, and a rose room, alongside hearty, inventive home cooking from Frau Wessel and the kind of attentive, personal touches, such as a fruit bowl on the bedside and a dessert waiting in the room's fridge, that make guests feel less like paying visitors and more like welcome family.
