Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"Very tidy hotel with friendly and helpful staff."

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

8/10 Good

"Hotel was in a great location and was very clean. Staff were very friendly and the hotel was in wonderful . I only gave it a 4 because the room was pretty stuffy even though we turned the air all the way down it didn't seem to get very coo and we are hot natured . Otherwise everything was perfect!"

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, location fine, parking easy. Decent bar area. Only criticism is the self check in desk is a bit inefficient. Had two staff who could have done the check in, in seconds, stood there watching us fumble around. Self check in should exist for when staff aren’t around (late arrivals) or away from the mann check in desk to make more “slots available” during peak times. Having 3 computers and 2 staff telling people how to use the computers and not able to check you in on their own computer is just silly. We also had to queue to check out to get parking validated, which seems like something a computer system you had to use to pay for parking could have done during check in… didn’t ruin the stay but several of our party commented on how woefully inefficient the existing process is."

HansaDom Hotel Köln Central by Mayburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and spotless the bath was full length and deep I did not have any issues at all with this property apart from one Minor thing The shower curtain was to along However the next hotel I stayed in was the absolute reverse But that is another story As a traveller I would recommend this establishment I would recommend staying there again"
