Hotel Leonet in Koln

Disappointed in standard of hotel, on arrival was told all parking was booked out. Room on 3rd floor was small with unwanted extra bed taking up spare space. Bathroom was adequate with shower over bath which had a high step in and no handholds barely adequate shower curtain did not stop water spilling onto floor.
Noisy location next to lift and noise from adjacent hotel late into night twice with patrons waking us up at 2am on return to room's.
Breakfast was ok with reasonable choice, plenty of black coffee.
Overall would not choose to stay again even at budget pricing.

Good hotel and easy transportation, but not recommend to go out after 10 pm if you travel with family

3 days 2 nights trip to Cologne with a friend. Nice place to stay. Good German breakfast. Not in the town centre, but if you don’t mind a little extra walk compared to expensive hotel in town centre, you should be fine. Very old-fashioned elevator. Be mindful if you bring loads of luggage.

Quiet place not far away from the main spots in Cologne. Staff is very kind. Breakfast is very simple though it is included.

Everything was great. The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and beautifully decorated.

I read the reviews and was honestly scared to book this hotel, but overall, most of the reviews were exaggerated In my opinion.

Sure, the hotel is a bit old and the rooms have standard moquettes and old showers, but rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. There's no AC or fridge in most rooms unless you book the Comfort triple. But, if you visit during colder days or during the winter for a few nights, it's not bad. Rooms are clean, despite the reviews I was surprised to find clean rooms and good smell.

Service is good, nice people, friendly staff (though 1 or 2 guys spoke terrible English...), most of the clerks and employees are nice and friendly. Breakfast is a little small...not much choice but good quality of food, juices and such, I had an early checkout and couldn't get a breakfast bag even if I had paid, a shame, but it's no big issue as it was cheap to have the breakfast included with the room.

As for the location, it's great. Very close to trams (9, 12, 15...) and a very central location, 20 minute walk from the Dom (10 minutes with public transport ) and a 7 minute walk from the Neumarkt. Zülpicher Platz is a very nice area to have a quick bite or buy something nice for yourself.

Overall, for what you pay, the hotel is good. I wouldn't suggest a longer stay, but for short trips up to 4 or 5 nights.
