Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay!"

URBAN LOFT Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for the Cologne 2026 Major. Place was very clean (lounge area and room itself), AC worked great during the heatwave, quick walk to the train station and Cathedral. If I came back for Cologne 2027, I would 100% book this place again. Biggest downside in my opinion is the room not having a tiny little fridge."

NH Collection Köln Mediapark

8/10 Good

"The staff were welcoming and made an effort to be warm and friendly. The hotel was nice and everything was presented well. The room was clean with a comfortable bed. My only complaints are: 1. The bathroom floor was dirty. I spilt something and used a tissue to wipe it up. The tissue was filthy and showed it hadn’t been cleaned for a while. There were also lots of splashed water marks on the tiles. 2. Above the toilet, there was a strip of white painted wood, going across the wall. This strip was very dirty and it was obvious it hadn’t been cleaned for a while. It had a thick dusty coating with yellow marks in the groove against the wall. I had to clean it because I did not want to look at it throughout my stay. I had to put a bit of pressure on whilst cleaning the yellow marks. 3. The shower had half a door. As a result, I flooded the bathroom the first time I used it. During the showers after, I kept turning the shower on and off while I was using it, so the water would not build up and I could drain it out. Having said all that, would I stay here again… yes! A lovely hotel with seating outside, a good location and friendly staff. I wasn’t uncomfortable in the room, but their bathroom cleaning needs some attention."
