Steigenberger Hotel Köln
9.1 (205 reviews)

Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★

📍 Habsburgerring 9-13, Cologne

"Beautiful hotel, with very spacious and well-maintained rooms. The staff were always kind and helpful, and the breakfast was truly excellent. Highly recommended property. The only minor drawback: you can hear some outside noise because the windows aren't perfectly soundproofed."

Hyatt Regency Cologne
9.4 (105 reviews)

Hyatt Regency Cologne ★★★★★

📍 Kennedy-Ufer 2A, Cologne

"Stayed as a couple at Club King Double room for 5 nights during the Amphi Festival. Pros: - Unbeatable location, walking distance to everything while not within the Old Town which is way too touristy. Five-minute walk from the train that takes you straight to the airport. - Room 99% soundproof, very private and peaceful (stayed at the Club floor, 6/6). - Amazing bed. - Full-size working desk in the room. - Daytime service very professional, helpful, and friendly. - The Club Floor lounge has it's own very good breakfast buffet (included with the Club rooms at no extra cost - apart from the higher cost of the Club room itself - so you might skip paying extra for the regular breakfast at the restaurant). Also daytime tea with cake and an evening snack are served as well. The snack could become your legitimate dinner if you need it, as there are hot options and appetizers. Amazing view of the cathedral from the Lounge. - The food was amazing. Cons: - The night shift staff is not at the same level as the day shift, so try to resolve your matters during the day. - Some visible wear and tear in the room (not important to me, but might bother some who expect everything to be 100% at this price point). Overall: - Highly recommend, would stay again."

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection ★★★★

📍 Kurt-Hackenberg-Platz 1, Cologne

"An absolutely wonderful experience! The hotel and service were top-notch, the surroundings beautiful, and the location incredibly convenient. We could even see the back of the cathedral, and it's very close to the Rhine River. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip!"

Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse
8.6 (40 reviews)

Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse ★★★★

📍 Belfortstraße 9, Cologne

"Our stay at the Mercure Hotel exceeded all our expectations. Really good location, close to many amenities. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Very friendly staff and a great choice of breakfast options. Would definitely visit again and recommend this hotel to anyone 🙂💫"

Cologne Marriott Hotel
9.0 (333 reviews)

Cologne Marriott Hotel ★★★★★

📍 Johannisstraße 76-80, Cologne

"The facilities are showing their age, especially the bathroom. There's only a bathtub, and showering in it felt inconvenient and somewhat unsafe due to how slippery it was. Cleanliness was acceptable. The location is excellent, less than a 5-minute walk from the train station. The breakfast service was a bit uncomfortable; you couldn't serve yourself coffee, and staff would clear plates before we were finished eating, which made us feel rushed and quite uneasy. I suppose they might have thought this was attentive service."

Premier Inn Koln City Sud
8.6 (137 reviews)

Premier Inn Koln City Sud ★★★

📍 Perlengraben 2, Cologne

"This stay was a truly fantastic experience, earning a five-star rating! The hotel's location is a real plus. It's right next to the subway station and a few minutes' walk from the shopping district and food court, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. The most surprising thing was the service. The front desk clerk greeted us with a smile throughout, checking us in quickly, and proactively recommended nearby hidden gems and must-try restaurants, even providing tips on avoiding pitfalls. He was incredibly thoughtful. The room exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The sheets and duvet cover had a subtle fragrance and were wrinkle-free. The bedding was as soft as a cloud, making it impossible to get up. The soundproofing was excellent, so I couldn't hear any outside noise at night, and I slept soundly until I woke up naturally, completely free of fatigue. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, complete with toiletries, and the hot water supply was always available."

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza Hotels in Cologne

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza

"The room was nice and clean, and it was quite close to the city center, within walking distance. There were lots of DM (Direct Mail) stores nearby; I always buy throat lozenges from DM stores when I have a cold."

NH Collection Köln Mediapark Hotels in Cologne

NH Collection Köln Mediapark

"The hotel I stayed in during my time in Cologne was generally a decent, practical choice, with no major flaws, but also a few surprises. The location was convenient, about a five-minute walk from the nearby bus stop. Tourist attractions like Cologne Cathedral and the Old Town are easily accessible by public transportation or taxi. Small supermarkets and small eateries are nearby, making daily groceries and meals convenient. The room was of moderate size, spacious enough for a single occupancy but a bit cramped for a double. The furniture and furnishings showed some signs of use, but were generally clean and tidy, and the bedding was perfectly soft, ensuring a pleasant sleep. The bathroom had a nice, dry/wet area with a reliable hot water supply. The toiletries were basic, but those with skincare needs are advised to bring their own. Regarding service, the front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Check-in and check-out were both prompt and helpful. They patiently answered questions about directions to attractions, but they didn't proactively offer any extra touches (such as local recommendations or extended luggage storage). Breakfast is a simple buffet with basic items like bread, ham, eggs, coffee, and juice. The taste is quite satisfactory and can satisfy your hunger, but those who seek a richer meal may find it a bit monotonous. Overall, if you are looking for convenient travel in Cologne and a good value accommodation, this hotel meets basic needs and is suitable for travelers who value practicality over luxury."

Hyatt Regency Cologne ★★★★★
"It's located across from Cologne Cathedral, and looks spectacular lit up at night. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I was happy to have free water in the room, but perhaps because Germany is an environmentally advanced country, it was bottled water rather than plastic bottles. It's inconvenient to carry around, but it was enough for making tea in the room. If I had to say something negative, it would be that you have to cross a bridge to get to Cologne Cathedral and the station, but you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to the hotel entrance. It was a bit inconvenient to go up and down with a suitcase."

"They don’t even provide free water or a kettle. They also make you pay 50 euros upfront, which is annoying, since it could simply be charged at checkout, as is normal if you consume anything from the minibar."

"Rooms in Europe are generally quite small; with two large suitcases, there was barely any room to walk. The environment and hygiene were good, and the facilities were standard, though there were no slippers or toiletries provided."

Cologne Marriott Hotel ★★★★★
"It's an easy 5-8 minute walk from the rear exit of Cologne Central Station. Cologne Cathedral and the Ludwig Museum are just a 10-minute stroll away, perfect for conveniently and affordably viewing Picasso's masterpieces. The location is excellent. The rooms are spacious and bright, and housekeeping kept them notably clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast spread was quite generous and varied. Outside of major exhibition periods, it truly offers unbeatable value for money. Highly recommended!"
