Top Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum Hotel Reviews

Mercure Hotel Severinshof Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast and bar. Great location to the city with a tram stop outside."

Mauritius Hotel & Therme

8/10 Good

"Pretty good."

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable and convenient hotel for a short visit to Koln for a couple of days with my son. Great choice of food in the hotel breakfast buffet, although there were also good local cafe options a short walk from the hotel too. Easy to walk into the city centre (15-25 mins walk) to the major tourist areas/sights. Hotel has a decent amount of on-site parking, although it costs €23 Euros per day, and the entrance to it does involve you having to go around the back of the hotel and down a one-way side road to get to it. We took a wrong turn initially, so had to do another loop to access it. We stayed on the top (17th floor) and there was a great view of the river & skyline from the room. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area."
