inexpensive and central location but the previous guest(s) smoked in the room and no possibilities to get an other one.
Staff were very helpful and professional. The rooms are alright but could use more electrical outlets, there were only two. Also, the push button shower takes a good 5 minutes to warm the water
Location of the hotel very convenient, close to train station, close to the centre and Cathedral. The Room was clean with a fantastic view over the Rhine River and parrots on the trees in the evening and in the morning
And the best breakfast is the best so far to compare with other hotels. The only thing was a bit annoying, waiting time for elevators in the morning (to busy)
But if you ok with stairs, that's not a problem, just use staircase
I'm not sure if the higher-end rooms are kept cleaner or have more recently refurbished interiors, but the entry-level experience was spacious, poorly lit and lacking modern amenities such as easily accessible power sockets or a shower that could maintain a consistent temperature
The main drawbacks were the location, a bit far from the city center, which was less convenient for quick outings, and the €20 daily parking fee, which felt high
I stayed at Radission BLU in Cologne for the second time. The room was very good, close to the exhibition hall, very convenient to go out, the bar in the lobby was also very good, with a lot of drinks
I stayed at the Radisson Blu Hotel Cologne during a business trip and had a great experience. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing
The location couldn’t be better, right across the street from the convention center, which saved us from early mornings and long commutes
At first, I was a little confused about needing to put the room keycard in the slot near the door for power—I even ended up taking my first shower in the dark before asking the front desk (who explained it with a smile)
I would have preferred a queen or king bed instead of two twins pushed together since you do sink a little in the middle, but honestly that was minor compared to how great everything else was
Took a short break in Cologne during weekend. Marriott is a nice place to stay with five minutes walk from the central station. Easy to find on arrival and easy for your departure by catching a train to airport
Location is great. Minutes of walk to the Central Station and Church. Shopping area is within walking distance. Highly recommend for tourists!
We had the Continental breakfast in the Executive lounge and it was excellent with everything you could want. I do have to say that the parking was extremely tight so if you have a bigger car be careful and take it slow
Stayed here overnight so that we could enjoy a little bit of the city, visit the Musical Moulin Rouge which was right around the corner and not have to take a 2-hour drive to get home late at night
The 2nd night was a Friday so there was a bit more noise from neighbouring rooms, loud slams from the doors, probably the door brackets are a bit aggressive, but to be expected from a weekend
It was a great decision to stay here, the people were outstanding and extremely helpful and professional. The room was very functional and clean with everything you need on hand

The hotel is nice and has parking for a fee. It is not far from the city center, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to eat Chinese food
The location is a bit far from the city center, which may not be ideal if you plan to explore the downtown area frequently. Check-in is only available after 3:00 PM, which felt a bit inconvenient
Great hotel with good room and facilities. Slightly far from city center requiring about a 30 to 40min walk.
The room is clean and spacious,
Facilities: comfortable and convenient
Sanitation: very clean
Environment: quiet, convenient transportation, convenient parking, there is a free parking space at night behind the hotel building, pay attention to the parking signs
Decently priced hotel, with top notch service and distance from the city,
A few friends that paid as much for their hotels as we did ended up in quite a crappy place, so in comparison this nice and clean hotel lived up to our expectations, if anything, it was even better!
This hotel is very new and well-equipped. It is a very cost-effective hotel in Europe. The transportation is convenient overall, but if you use public transportation, you should be careful when you come back at night
Excellent service by professional hosts. Fantastic breakfasts and spacious rooms with fitting facilities
Friendly staff, good location, clean and tidy. Probably will be there again.
The breakfast is very good, except that there are fewer vegetables, the fruits and bread are super delicious
The room is spacious and bright, the service is friendly, the location is convenient, about 10 minutes walk from Cologne Cathedral, and it is also close to Cologne Exhibition Hall by taxi. The breakfast is pretty good
Quality, practical for the congress participation and good service.
Just near the Dom and old city of Koln, perfect location
Everything was great. We liked everything. Good location. Everything is nearby. The staff is friendly.

Simply lovely! Just a great hotel in a great location. I am usually very picky, but this one was flawless to me. Spacious clean room with a modern design and everything looks new. Huge car garage right next to the hotel
Gorgeous hotel, service was mediocre but still helpful. Rooms are massive and everything was clean and working properly, would definitely book again. Location was great too with loads of food options.
Very clean and comfy hotel, felt very luxurious as well. AC was great and room was so spacious. Good spot in Cologne where most things are nearby or 15ish minutes away walking
Good sound isolation in the rooms and silent airco. The room itself is not expensive. And the area is very hip, we found many nice bars and restaurants around
Great location, modern and clean rooms. Internet is not good, other than that everything is great.
Really satisfied with my stay. room was quite big. The staff are also super nice and helpful :)
Koln, Marzellenstrasse 13-17 (in the centre) 🧭 Map
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hilton Cologne is the perfect mix of comfort, style, and location. Just steps away from the Cologne Cathedral and the main train station, you really can’t beat the convenience
The staff are amazing and the rooms are very nice, I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a Junior Suite as a Gold member and they also celebrated my birthday with cake, wine and other treats in the room which was most appreciated
The shower area in the room is slightly too tiny to move around. The room is very nice and comfy. The staffs are also very nice and friendly
Great location next to train station and the cathedral. Rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. Staff were very polite and service oriented. 4 check-in terminals but only 2 opeators during the busy period from 2
Unfortunately, unlike some of the other hiltons, there is no water dispensary in the hallway and water is not complimentary unless you are Honors silver and above
Great location, this Hilton has great sized rooms, comfortable beds and perfect service. Ideal for families and for those travelling via train as the station is only a 5 min walk
Absolutely incredible stay at Holiday Inn Express Cologne (Köln), highly recommend staying here :)
Parking is great for those that are travelling by car, the car park is directly next to/ underneath the hotel
You can access it through reception, no long walks to find your car. The room was amazing with fantastic views of the city which I've included. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was amazing
Great contentious experience while staying at Holiday Inn Express, Colonge, Germany. The amibition, helpful staff, thoughtfully designed the services that required at each occasion of the daily needs
Rooms on the smallish side but spotless. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast is typical continental but very filling and freshly prepared
Ideal location and easy to reach the place in minimum time using public transportation. I strongly recommend people worth staying for the value price
The staff here are brilliant and they'll look after you. We will certainly he returning to Köln and certainly be returning to this hotel
Impressed with the location and the service. The only downside was the room was specified to have a city view and we were located on the 3rd floor with a view of the flat roof with vents making a noise 24/7
Front desk could be a little more friendly. Bathroom very small and need to take shower in very small bath not nice would prefer a normal shower
It is so small I dont know how a german can fit into the bath / shower???all the rest was good and the breakfast is very good buffet
Will definitely stay here again on my next trip!
The service it’s good and nice Rome
Pros:
- location
- Bed
Cons:
- very outdated and not well maintained
- room looked old and claustrophobic
- gym looks like a museum and equipment not useful for fitness
- Tidy room but not clean (showerhead and bathroom were not clean)
- arrogant attitude of receptionists (especially the checking out one)
Koln, Severinstr. 199, Einfahrt Tiefgarage, Kleine Spitzengasse (in the centre) 🧭 Map
Great place to stay..just above the station with mere minutes to walk . Nice room and splendid breakfast offerings. Room does not provide toothbrush 🪥 so bring one . No slippers if you feel that you need.
The hotel is located nearby bus and underground station.so we go to sightseeing places conveniently.breakfast is wonderful. The staff are professional and kind .
Rooms were great, comfortable bed, I understand that it's normal in Germany for separate duvets but still odd for me however many times I visit
Great location! 10 min walk to the cathedral and local bars and restaurants.
The hotel is excellent, comfortable, and clean, with spacious rooms. It is conveniently located near the city center, just 10-15 minutes by train to and from Cologne Cathedral. The price is relatively affordable.
Hotel is located not far from center, it has spacious rooms and staff were really nice.
Koln, Hohenzollernring 79-83 (in the centre) 🧭 Map
They have an own concept called "lean luxury", two completely opposite words meaning in real life that: the walls are "industrial style", there's no carpet, the ambiance is cold (low temperature as well as figuratively cold), the sink is literally 1 meter away from the bed and you have to do your own check-in on a screen at the bar
I don't think I ever had such mixed feelings about a hotel I've stayed in. It is nice on the outside, it is well placed, the inner yard is quiet, it's got parking, it's clean
But the breakfast feels a little incomplete and the personal could be a bit more helpful. All in all, Ruby is an amazing bar & lounge that has a hotel attached to it
The bar downstairs (that serves as a reception) is really good, cocktails are amazing and I'm all in for the "free drink" offer instead of daily room cleaning
But they provide some non-essentials as a Marshall speaker and a Marshall guitar amp, in case you wanna grab a guitar from the bar and "jam" in your room
but it misses some essential things that would make it a very good hotel, especially when traveling for work
The highlight of our stay was the service of the whole team and the breakfast. The breakfast buffet offered a very nice and tasty variety. All staff members were very helpful and kind dealing with our requests
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was impressed by the warm hospitality of the staff. The room was wider and cleaner than the photos, and the bedding was soft and I was able to get a good night's sleep
Using the sauna costs an extra charge per person which might not be common in other hotels we visited. On the other hand, it probably helps to keep the sauna in good shape
I stayed in the annex hotel not main hotel booking and would have been a better experience as I had to cross the street to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast
Fantastic Hotel,Service was excellent and rooms were very clean and beds comfortable
The only disadvantage was that it's located in a building across the street from the main building where the lobby, restaurant and pool are located
The good:
Great location in central neighborhood of Koln with lots of restaurants and bars around. I walked here from the train station, no problem. Breakfast buffet is really good
The hotel is located 15 minutes' walk from the main train station, which is very convenient. The front desk reception is warm and friendly. The room is large enough, clean and tidy
Very huge hotel, loved the location and amenities. Perfect place to stay last minute in cologne
- Great location - The sauna is very nice - Good sized rooms - Easy check in - Nice gym
- The mattresses were very hard (this may be a pro for you depending on your preferences) - shower water temperature was not consistent
Staff is generally willing to help and speaks English well (this is not always the case here)
The bad:
My room was really noisy until 3-4AM, given that it was facing a very busy small street with bars and clubs
The safe in the room also didn’t work but that got fixed while I was out for dinner
The location is close to the riverside, 800 meters from the Lindt Chocolate Museum and 2 km from the city center. The family room is quite spacious and includes a bathtub
Great hotel in a good location. Staff was excellent and so was the breakfast. A little off the city Center but very close to chocolate museum. We had a great time and strongly recommend!
My wife and I stayed in Cologne for one night and were lucky to meet Simge at the reception
The breakfast was a good, with a wide variety of options to choose from. One drawback is the location, it’s a bit far from the city center, which might be inconvenient for some travelers
Best place for families near the city center by 25 min walk
She was very friendly and helpful, even drawing us a small route on the city map so we could discover all the hidden treasures :) Thank you, Simge — hope our paths cross again someday!
Would recommend this hotel the rooms were nice the only downside they were warm and even with the AC on low every night was not able to cool the room down, The staff were amazing so helpful, there is not too much to do on the media park, a walk in to the center is about 20 minutes the tram is Christophstr
/Mediapark and this about 5 min away, Hansaring train station just under 10. with been out of the center is nice and quiet. I would look to stay again if i was to return to Koln
The staff was very accommodating to all our needs. The room was clean and more spacious than expected, with a good city view. The breakfast was lovely with some menu options that we tried and loved as well
The front desk staff was friendly and professional but the people who make the experience very special are the breakfast staff and John the guest relations manager so a million thanks to them
The service and rooms were great. The selection at the breakfast was good. I really liked the idea of the voucher for the hotel bar for every night you don’t want to have your room cleaned
Everything what we needed was within walking distance. If you plan to use the gym, bring light and airy clothing as the space is also connected to the sauna which makes it quite warm
Stayed at this hotel many times and the team have been brilliant every time. Shahrzad was a faultless host providing great service and wonderful recommendations throughout the stay
Lift available at a different entrance as the main entrance has steps. The rooms were great, amenities were great and the view was awesome. Also loved the aesthetic of the hotel
With the chocolate museum next door and the old town a small walk away, this hotel is a brilliant location for those wanting to discover Cologne!
The rooms are well designed with beautiful artwork, the breakfast choice is ace, and the rooftop views are calming after sundown
Overall very happy and would go back again if ever in Cologne
A good location to stay at to be able to access most central destinations with public transport. Clean rooms and nice sound proofing. I have already stayed at this hotel twice and it is my go to when coming to Cologne
I loved the service! The people working there were really nice. And at the reception they have water and a few snacks for people waiting:) So it was really nice!
It's close to the transtation. It's clean and quiet. The reception service is good. I would stay here next time.
Good services and located old town
The cleanliness and facilities provided match with it room charges.
The breakfast of the hotel was very expensive. It's about HKD300 per head. The hotel should work something on it for the convenience of the customers
Hotel has great location. However be aware that even if you selected a twin beds it is not guaranteed. We were annoyed by this. Since this waa one of the reasons we selelected this hotel.
Unpleasant staff at reception, 26 Euros per night for parking, and basic rooms. Overall an average experience.
Breakfast
The breakfast was excellent — generous, fresh, and above the usual hotel standard. Boasting a surprisingly broad selection of bread, cheeses, charcuterie, fruit - and hot options
The room was great and we had a mini bar with nuts, chocolate, beers and sparkling water included in the price. Could've used a kettle and some tea coffe in the room but no big deal
We had a great stay at 25hours The Circle, a hotel that blends style, comfort, and personality — occasionally with a little more personality than strictly necessary
Service & Atmosphere
The staff were warm, efficient, and genuinely helpful. The relaxed, friendly attitude made the stay easy from start to finish
Overall, 25hours The Circle delivers good service, an exceptional breakfast, and a design aesthetic that’s eccentric but on the sweet side of it
Even with the eccentric décor, the essentials are done right: good bed, smart layout, and quiet at night
It is worth noting that if you get off at Cologne Central Station, you need to walk to the hotel from the bridge, but this also brings an advantage, that is, quietness and safety
As a Globalist, I was upgraded to a suite overlooking the Rhine — every evening I would sit by the window and watch the bridge glowing under the sunset. Those moments alone were worth the stay
The rooms were clean, stylish, and comfortable, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, attentive, and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere…
The hotel's amenities were also excellent, including a beautiful pool and a relaxing spa…
The hotel's location was very very very great, close to shops and restaurants, the Dom, museums, bridge and the Triangle…
...
Breakfast was exceptional, both in quality and variety, easily among the best I’ve had in Europe. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, creating a sense of welcome that felt effortless
Awesome stay! If you have the points, definitely choose the Club Floor. It's only 3,000 more points per night but an excellent value.
We got a room facing the cathedral, etc. it was spectacular. The staff were top notch.
We were pleasantly surprised by the Hyatt Regency Cologne Hotel’s convenient location and comfortable rooms, and the staff was very accommodating…
The hotel exceeded our expectations
Koln, Deutz-Mulheimer Strasse 22-24 (2 km from centre) 🧭 Map
I book this hotel every time I come to an exhibition. The hotel is very close to the exhibition center and you can walk there. The transportation is convenient and the environment is very good
To arena, perfect to stay!
Also to the city center, easily to get there by tram.
Staffs are all nice and helpful.
It is on the west side of the exhibition center, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the north entrance. There is shampoo, but no conditioner. There is hand sanitizer and body lotion, but no soap
The hotel is very close to the Cologne Exhibition Hall, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. The receptionist is very friendly. The room is clean and sanitary, and there is plenty of hot water
Disadvantages: Breakfast is a bit expensive at 28 euros; the quilt is too thin and too short (but not cold). Summary: I will choose this place again when I attend the Cologne Exhibition next time
The room I booked for the exhibition is across the street from the exhibition hall, which is very convenient. The restaurant and bar inside are good value for money, and there is also a sauna
