Hi! I recently stayed at your hotel and had such a pleasant experience. The ambience was amazing, the room had a great view, and everything felt so fresh and clean. The AC worked perfectly, the bed was super comfy, and the bathroom was spotless. I really appreciated the nice ventilation and the calm, refreshing smell in the room.
The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. I even found myself taking extra pictures because the place was just that beautiful! Thank you for such a wonderful stay I’d definitely love to come back.
Absolutely recommendable!
we got a nice size room on 7th floor to the rear (overlooking the train station was not an issue for us since an overnighter only and we had only 200mtr to walk for our Dinner
Yes, it is next to the train station and together with 2 other hotels. but can't hear anything.
We choose this one because it offered best price and 2 breaky includ the room price.
for us travelling by car was also convenient to drive to the hotel and park the car very close by

This hotel was the perfect base for exploring Cologne and made for a relaxing stay with its modern and quiet location. This hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk to the major attractions in Cologne and many good restaurants. It is not far from the Cologne Cathedral, Hay Market and Old Market and the hotel is a stone's throw to the chocolate museum.
The room was nicely appointed and very trendy. It had a mini fridge, coffee/tea station with a variety of tea, complimentary sparkling water, a couple of chairs, a long counter for the sink/desk and a large TV. There is enough lighting for the room and plenty of counter space for our things but we only had an outlet on one side of the bed.
The shower was very nice with good water pressure and individual bath products for body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We aren't sold on the scent but felt very clean afterwards. There is a window separating the bathroom from the rest of the room that is painted over but one of the previous guests had made a peephole which was not an issue for us.
Staff were friendly and helpful at this hotel. Check in was smooth and they gave us some chocolate and three cards. They did not explain the cards to us but it turns out they can get a complimentary coffee, beer, wine or soft drink at the bar - we did not realize this until the next day but they did allow us to take some fritz cola for the road.
The breakfast was excellent. Lots of little unexpected surprises like the herb cream cheese for bread, fresh egg salad, and wild garlic cheese. They had a good selection of hot items with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, meatballs, hash browns, mushrooms and some vegetable balls. The cold items were good too with a variety of deli meats, cheeses, a muesli/yogurt bowl station. They had some juices, loose leaf teas and coffee machines.
We didn't book for amenities but we were surprised with what the hotel offered. They have a rooftop terrace which gives a pretty good view of the surrounding area, a lobby bar where you can relax, a fitness room and a sauna. They also have a welcome station that they stock with fresh fruit, pastries and flavoured water that you can drop in at any time. The art side of the hotel was interesting with a nice open layout in the lobby area that let in lots of lighting and some nice decor throughout the hotel. The hotel has a safe and secure underground parking garage that cost 25 euros for the night when we stayed. Only issue we had with the garage is that it is a bit tight down there and it was tricky to get out because someone chose to park in the area where cars can turnaround.
This is a good hotel in a good area and we felt the price was good for our budget when we stayed in Cologne.
The hotel is in a great location, making it convenient for guests. However, there is no gym, which could be a drawback for those who prioritize fitness. Additionally, some room facilities could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
The hotel is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Düsseldorf train station. The room was quite nice, a standard double room. The front desk service was excellent; they were able to store our luggage, which is very helpful for weekend visitors looking to explore the area. The hotel also features a garden at the back, great for a leisurely walk. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
Great hotel. 5mis walk from arrivals. There is no parking on site. Rooms are modern with comfortable bedding. No aircraft noise. Friendly bar and restaurant staff
The hotel is located directly on a busy street.
I had thought that we would be bothered by the street.
Well, I didn't hear anything. On the 5th floor it was so quiet. We could sleep wonderfully.
Tip. If you check in before 3 pm, you can choose your room.
With an additional charge, you could also look out into a garden.
However, you don't have to.
Furthermore, the room was clean and there was enough choice at breakfast.
I will definitely go back.
Good hygiene that was up to standards. There was a working airconditioning and a good blowdryer. The location was okay since it’s close to the places we wanted to visit, but if you want to go to Little Tokyo or Altstadt you have to pass the train station, which feels shady and unsafe at night. I also missed toothpaste and slippers in the room. Overall I had a nice experience!
Very conveniently situated next to the train station and the main street. Rooms are clean and practical, breakfast is pretty good. We stayed with our 2 year old, which came for free. We had to bring our own travel cot but the room was specious enough to put the cot.
My favourite hotel in the whole of my Europe Trip thus far… As expected of a Marriot-branded hotel, the rooms we stayed in are spotlessly clean. Hotel provides pretty good detox water in the lobby. However though, it’s not quite conveniently located with a 10+ minutes walk from the train station (unlike what was stated in its listing) and not centrally located near cologne’s main attractions.

Iichikokiku⭐ Hotel Review: Merian Hotel, Cologne
I stayed at Merian Hotel in Cologne, and I must say — the location and price were unbeatable!
📍 Perfect Location
The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from Cologne Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom). It’s incredibly convenient if you’re traveling by train or planning to explore the old town on foot. You can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and major attractions in under 10 minutes.
💰 Excellent Value for Money
For such a prime central location, the room rate was very affordable. It’s rare to find a hotel this close to the station and city center at such a low price. The room was basic but clean, and included breakfast, which made it an even better deal.
🛏️ Room Tips
Rooms facing the street or train station might get a bit noisy, so I recommend asking for a quiet room facing the courtyard if you’re a light sleeper.

AAlexSecond time we went for this hotel in Brühl. Very convenient proximity to Phantasialand, clean room, and exceptional buffet breakfast. Best value for money ever, we will come back in this hotel again when we go to Phantasialand in the future.
GGuest UserExcellent room, service, breakfast and location. Go ahead, fabulous choice in accommodation. Cannot believe how spacious this hotel was compared to the Marriott hotels I stayed in previously.
GGuest UserLovely hotel. Very clean and smells nice. Rooms so quiet, can’t hear anything else. Got a lovely festive gingerbread too, thanks for having us xx
SSaadMohamedThe hotel is in a great location, making it convenient for guests. However, there is no gym, which could be a drawback for those who prioritize fitness. Additionally, some room facilities could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
GGuest UserThe hotel is a little outside, but a bus stop right in front of the hotel is available. The reception was not more occupied than we arrived, but check-in still worked super uncomplicated. The room was very spacious and everything needed was available. Have felt very well and liked to come back!
JJethro.THighly recommended Dusseldorf hotel! The front desk staff is very polite, warm and thoughtful. The hotel is just a 3-4 minute walk from Dusseldorf Train Station, with a superior location and convenient transportation. The hotel is also very new, clean and tidy with a sense of design. The rest environment in the lobby is also very good!
