Where to stay in Buchheim
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Buchheim works as a plain residential base in Köln rather than a place people travel to see. Its rooms lie among ordinary housing on the Mülheim-borough side of the city, near the parish church of St Mauritius rather than any waterfront or headline sight. The mood is plain.
If you would rather sleep cheaply in a workaday Köln quarter and commute to the centre, Buchheim leaves you among the everyday streets of the Mülheim borough.
