The Lanxess Arena is approximately 7 minutes on foot. The hotel is also close to a tram stop (line 14), which provides quick access to the city center and the famous Cologne Cathedral, about a 20-25 minute tram ride or a 25-minute walk. Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) lies about 12 km away. Nearby dining options include Restaurant Paparazzi (235 m away) and Bayer Gastronomie GmbH (329 m), although their ratings vary.

Reviews
However the decor seems a bit dated and I’ll be honest for the space it’s a bit on the steep side.
We stayed over night with our child and while they claim children can stay for free, they charge you extra if you actually want them to have a sofa bed made up. This fee is not disclosed up front.
The breakfast was an okay buffet with fresh hot and cold options including an excellent array of bread and spread but some terrible coffee.
The only positive aspect of my stay was the breakfast, which was delicious.
Also to the city center, easily to get there by tram.
Staffs are all nice and helpful.
The spa is also great, very modern and well maintained, and at 6€ an absolute bargain!
