It was about 30 mins walk to the cathedral xmas market and other markets were all about 15-20 mins if you prefer to walk. There are plenty of restaurants and shops closeby
Clean and tidy. Nice interior and personel. Lot of place downstairs to sit with friends and family to enjoy the evening. Take a cards with U and Monopoly!
Room was very comfortable and huge for our family of 4. Very clean and service was friendly. We didnt have breakfast but the breakfast area looked lovely
Everything about this hotel was fantastic from the breakfast, to the staff and the location of the hotel as well! Well priced and very quirky - perfect.
Conveniently located near Barbarossa Platz tram lines. 4 stop from the Central Station. Room was compact but modern and well appointed. Funky abd pleasant lobby. I was able to park my bike in the secured garage.
There was complimentary mulled wine in the reception area which was a nice touch. Location is great, right by tram stop
Ok hotel, nice position in the city centre, friendly staff. Breakfast is ok. They also have a parking
Excellent hotel. Reception team are very good, helpful and knowledgeable the city. The room is lovely. One of the best hotels I have stayed in in Cologne. Clean, warm, a good bed and very clean room and bathroom.
Clean room, close to city center
This property went above my expectations, the rooms were very decent and cosy.Wonderful customer service and walkable to all the beautiful sightseeing areas of Koln.I would recommend over and over.
The location from the hotel to the main attractions is perfect. You can reach Old Town and the Rhine river in about 5 minutes. The Cathedral and train station was about a 12-15 minute walk
I definitely enjoyed my stay at this property. The staff were very friendly, especially the gentleman working the front desk. The room was really clean and the neighborhood was quiet

The location is fantastic—just a 15-minute walk from the central station, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby where you can grab a great meal
The hotel itself is quiet and cozy, and the breakfasts were really good too. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back if I visit Cologne again
I will certainly stay in Hotel Esplanade next times i visit the city. I was given a nice clean and quiet room, moreover i especially enjoyed the breakfast and the convenient location.
The staff was very nice and the breakfast was amazing. The balcony we had (2+1 room) was really big with a great view. There's also a lot of culinary options near the hotel.
This is a really great hotel—I’d happily recommend it to anyone! The room was spotless, and the bathroom was very clean as well
I have stayed at the Esplanade Hotel in Cologne many times over the years - I always stay there and I’m never disappointed - great location, great welcome and service
The room was spotless with a very comfortable bed. A balcony is available upon request for smokers. Parking is available for €16 per day. It's close to the center (15-minute walk). The staff were very welcoming.
Nice single room top floor with balcony central enough to reach everything on foot
The owners are very friendly and accommodating; we felt very comfortable. The room wasn't quite ready upon arrival, but they took care of it quickly and easily. We would definitely come back.
Excellent, very convenient to go anywhere. I would consider it again when traveling for business. I was a little disappointed that there was no breakfast
Great room with balcony
Great little room with balcony, clean and spacious bathroom. Everything within easy walking distance. I had a very good stay.
I hope that breakfast will be available next time, which would save us business travelers time

Great hotel for our few days in Cologne.
Very friendly & helpful staff.
Walking distance to main train station & Dom.
Coffee delicious.
Most importantly great water pressure in shower & comfortable beds!!
Nice large, clean and quiet room for 3 (#15). With space for 3 pieces of luggage. Heating towel rack; which was great as the staff did not clean the room between nights. A bit of rust stain around the shower door
The Hotel Windsor is greatly located (very close from the center), the room is clean and the reception is incredibly kind.
The staff is super welcoming and so nice, I enjoyed each conversation. Interior of the reception and hotel in general is nice old style, loved it. The room was spacious enough, clean and light, comfortable
Very roomy, clean and comfortable. The lift is small and stairs are steep, no big deal. Dinner recommendation was on point! Only down side is trying to find parking to check in
The parking garage is half a block away and once accessed super easy. Totally recommend staying here!
Koln, Hohe Straße 30A 50667 Köln,Hohe Straße (in the centre) 🧭 Map
It is very close to the city center and can be reached on foot. Check in at 3 pm. If you arrive early, you can store your luggage for free. The service staff is very enthusiastic. I will choose this hotel next time.
Also the fact that we needed to wait for half an hour for check in because reception was empty didn't make it better. The location is in the very center of the city though
Disposable slippers are also provided (it's not as environmentally friendly as Europe, so don't have high expectations for slippers)
There are many restaurants nearby, as well as a Vietnamese pho shop (3 minutes' walk away)
It's only a 10-minute walk from the main train station. It's very convenient to go everywhere. There's a supermarket, subway, and tram downstairs, and it's a 2-minute walk to the shopping street
Great location. Everything is within easy reach and it's quiet. They have a handheld hairdryer and disposable slippers. The bed is huge and comfortable.
The location is convenient and the room is clean and quiet. The space is great too. It is also very convenient to walk to the exhibition venue.
I stayed here whilst touring Cologne. The hotel is located on the ring and is some 20 minutes walk to the cathedral/station/centre. I had a comfortable and good sized room
Everything's great.. Central in Cologne and super fast on the Dom, Altschtadt and especially in the middle of Cologne... Nice room. Come on, Is happy to recommend the re.. more..
We can arrange their parking area with fair price. Furniture is a little bit old style but room was clean and there was no noise You can walk to Dom in 10 mins
A special mention goes to Nina, who was at the breakfast each morning. Her warm and friendly demeanor, combined with her hard-working nature, truly made the experience memorable
There are a lot of good restaurants near the hotel Family can select this hotel. We have a 6 year’s old daughter and she walks every locations without any complaints
The restaurant is really cozy, the food was delicious, and the service was very friendly and attentive! We all enjoyed our meals very much, and the food was beautifully presented
Nice hotel near Central Train station in Köln. The Lobby is nice, looks like a 3-4 stars hotel . At reception was a ok man from India. The hotel is good and the price ok , like 80 euro .
Beautiful room near St Ursala's. Short walk from Central train station.
The classical setting has a sense of historical depth.
We checked in before 15:00 completely free of charge. The rooms are clean, the linens are crisp white, and the rooms are beautifully decorated with designer touches
We were delighted with the hotel and the location. It’s a beautiful historic building and very well located, but still on a lovely and quiet street of Cologne
The multi-level lighting is lovely! The only downside is that since we're from Russia and our cards aren't accepted, we had trouble paying the 4
Koln, Theodor-Hürth-Straße 2-4 (2 km from centre) 🧭 Map
This is a value for money hotel around 15 minutes walk from central Cologne. The staff couldn't be more helpful on arrival ensuring we had a room even though we were 4 hours early for the official check in time
This is a lovely quiet hotel within walking distance of the busy central Cologne. The staff couldn't be more helpful, even ensuring we had a room on arrival 4 hours before the official check in time
Id definitely recommend if you want the peace away from the hustle and bustle of central Cologne
The only thing, which is nothing really is the room tvs did not have an English speaking channel which made for a long night if you're not wanting night life. But as said, if that's the only negative it's all good
We were offered refreshments as we waited, very friendly first impression of Cologne. The room was extremely clean, towels changed every day. Supermarkets, cafes etc within a few minutes walk
We were even offered refreshments while we waited. The room is clean and the towels etc changed every day. Supermarkets, cafes etc within easy walking distance
This little hotel is cheap and cheerful! So close to all main attractions. Room was spotless with excellent air con and a lovely balcony. Breakfast was tasty with something for all tastes
Nice little hotel 5 minute walk from the main train station. Easy to find and a great price for downtown Cologne. Rooms are clean and comfortable. A great place to spend a night when traveling.
Great little hotel very close to the city centre, cathedral and train station. Very clean and pleasant staff.
I went here in August with a friend and we really appreciate the kindness of the staff that give us some suggestions about the city, the cleanliness of the room (also it was very beautiful), the lovely breakfast and it isn't very expensive for the services they offer
Furthermore, the hotel is near to the city centre and the neighborhood is nice!
I recommend you this place and if I come back I will for sure stay here again!
The service facilities are very good, but there is one thing I am not satisfied with: the price on their own website is lower than the price on Ctrip! I felt a little unhappy when I found out
Clean room, perhaps due for a makeover. Friendly staff, delicious food. Family-run hotel. Very centrally located in the city. Definitely recommended.
Our family of four were very happy with our two night stay here whilst in Cologne. The hotel is in a great location and in walking distance to all the citys attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful also
This was our second visit, and I love every detail: the location, the service, and the food. for me, the food is the best part. I love German cuisine, and the restaurant is wonderful
It is a very old hotel but we were comfortable and all slept well. A kettle with coffee making facilities in the room would have been a great addition
Room was older and smaller but definitely clean with a good restaurant below that we ate at a couple of times
I highly recommend it! And we will definitely be back
Our team visited Cologne for Trade Fair and explored the hotels around there. Finally we found this hotel match our need with quality , location and budget set. Our score for this hotel
1)
The hotel is situated at around 5 minute walk from the Train Station. We arrived the hotel by a late ICE train at night, there is no problem regarding safety or ease of access
The reception is 24 hours manned, and has a self-service drink kiosk which you find rare to be free on European budget hotel chains. Overall lovely staff and big hotel
Note this hotel has only stair access, but to be fair for the price we paid for it is totally acceptable
It's very affordable, and the location is convenient — only an 8-minute walk to Cologne Cathedral.
During exhibition periods, the room rates are very high, and the facilities don't match the price. However, it's fairly clean, and you can get free water, tea, and coffee downstairs. Luggage storage is also available
A perfect stay in central Cologne
The room was spotless and very comfortable.
Upon entering the hotel, I was immediately struck by the impeccable design and attention to detail in the room. Every aspect of the decor seemed to have been carefully chosen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere
The room looked like the pictures and was very large. I rented one of the apartments. Super convenient to the train and there's a grocery store one block behind the hotel
This is a lovely hotel, situated right by the main train station. The city center is easily accessible on foot. The valet parking service was reliable and extremely convenient. Plus, there's a fantastic rooftop bar.
Stunning Rooftop Bar at Savoy Hotel Cologne – A Hidden Gem with Amazing Views
We didn’t stay at the Savoy Hotel Cologne, but we visited their rooftop bar, and it was absolutely worth it! The bar is open to visitors, not just hotel guests, which makes it a perfect hidden gem in the city
The rooftop terrace offers incredible panoramic views of Cologne, including a breathtaking view of the Cologne Cathedral. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed, perfect for sunset drinks or a special night out
Thank you dear staff of the Hotel in the water tower. You have conjured up of me and my wife an incredible, amazing weekend. We always come back gladly and can recommend the Hotel in the water tower full
My family stayed at the Wasserturm hotel for three weeks over the Christmas holidays and had a lovely time. This was our second time staying at the hotel in 2025 and everything was exceptional
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Most staff members spoke multiple languages which was very helpful with our international family members. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious
I highly recommend the two story suites with amazing views of the city. Cleaning staff were thorough and helpful as we were traveling with our small pets
The design of the hotel is truly unique and makes the stay feel special—you really notice that this is not a standard hotel. The breakfast was very rich and high quality, with a great variety and excellent service
The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the rooftop bar was a great way to finish out each day. The rooms were also very clean and offered the basics of what you need
Small bathroom but great water pressure for the shower. So close to the cathedral that you can almost feel the bells. Two parking garages close by for parking
Tl;dr: had a nice time, good location for a good price, but if you're looking for more than a place to sleep, try somewhere else. Pros: Great location in the old town area, central to Cologne
Excellent location and friendly staff.
Came for the Christmas market and this is the perfect hotel for its location. For the room, very impressed with how spacious it is and the attic is wonderful. The only downside is there is no proper wardrobe for cloths
No staff really on site, a desk clerk for a few hours but nothing needed, the instructions are clear and they contacted me before our arrival. Our room was quite large with an upstairs loft!
Very close to the Cathedral and train station within one block. In the middle of all of the restaurants and historic area
Very close to the city Centre and able to walk around and get back to hotel fast. Enjoyed the ease of accessible accommodation
This hotel was perfect for me! It has a nice view on the sky terrace and the staff were all very friendly ☺️
Location very strategic. Near to a very lively hood.
Worth for money
Location is good. However the room is small especially the single bed. Is good for those just staying for 1N. Near to attractions, restautants/cafes/, shopping area.
Not suitable with kids the place is gud near station and cathedral but the hotel in it is to dirty ,no aircon or electric fan,no ref.
Koln, Engelbertstrasse 33-35, 50674 Keln, Germaniya (2 km from centre) 🧭 Map
The hotel has a kitchen and washing areas, so that provides some advantages against other places for longer visits, i recommend registering on their site for a better register process
It was quirky in that there were no keys you had to input your last name into a kiosk and then it gave you a code for the front door and a different one for your room. No elevator and a curved staircase
Decent price for this kind of hotel, clean rooms, efficient service, big bathrooms, soft beds, gets a bit hot in the summer
Breakfast not included but lots of restaurants and ATM in walking distance. Good water pressure in shower
Walking distance from the train station so very conveniently located and not too far to drag our luggage
Koln, Grosse Sandkaul 24, 50667 Keln, Germaniya (in the centre) 🧭 Map
In the center of Koln, top hotel if you are travelling alone (rooms are small but nice for one). Had a nice stay there.
Exceptionally clean room with a comfortable bed 🛏️. Great location for getting around. Little bit of noise from the café on the corner but nothing to bother me. Spotless bathroom and great shower
Great for the price, super close to the centre, clean room and comfy bed
Perfect for solo travel as we generally put up with a lot of inconvenience for not travelling with someone. I would do recommend this lovely place!
Very good location and very safe area. Comfortable rooms
Very nice, hospitable, everything was clean, in the middle of the city, the subway is not far, rewe to go in the vicinity of to 11 open, the room was very creative ;), a cloakroom for Jackets would be desirable, otherwise everything top
Koln, Brusseler Strasse 40-42 (2 km from centre) 🧭 Map
Apparently, they had arbitrarily chosen the tip. It said breakfast was included, but it also said 15 euros, so I was really confused. I asked three times and they confirmed it was
It is within 30 minutes' walk to the center of Cologne, the cathedral, El-De Haus and other famous churches and museums. It is also suitable for city walks
Room older, missing sockets, lamp broken, duscschlauch also broken... Central location, good price... a lot of bars surrounding
The room is the size of a normal budget hotel, with sufficient heating and windows that cannot be opened. Disposable toothbrushes and slippers are not provided as is common in Europe, so you need to bring your own
There is a heated towel rack to dry clothes, which is very convenient. The front desk staff is very friendly, and there are postcards on the 0th floor for you to pick up
The bathroom conditions are barely acceptable, not suitable for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder but suitable for those who want cost-effectiveness
Peacefully located close to public transport , this by far is a very convenient hotel one can find in Cologne. 1/2 stops away from the busy shopping centers and walking distance the most famous cathedral
I was really feeling safe and comfortable here and ii will be back for it's position: central, close to Laxess arena, train station and city center
The TV did not work for television or for HDMI input to use for working at the desk. Breakfast was not available to purchase when I stayed the night in April. Walkable to the city center and next to a major tram line
the furniture was cool, modified to give you more space: smaller door for bathroom give room for a larger bed and a nice wall mirror to get even more space
As I mentioned in title they were very honest, gentile and helpful. I chooses a single room and, I did not expected too much but
Large window for the same idea, good elevator, nice view over the bridge, like you will see in picture
