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."

Hotel Merian ★★★

📍 Allerheiligenstraße 17, Cologne

"Friendly hotel close to the station and Cathedral. Was a little bit noisy with it being close to the road, but perfectly adequate. Receptionist was helpful and friendly. The elevator was a little small and only went to the 4th floor , but walking up to the 5th floor wasn’t an issue."

Leonardo Hotel Köln ★★★★

📍 Waldecker Str. 11-15, Cologne

"The room is big and clean. It is a must-stay every time I go on a business trip. The scenery outside the room is very beautiful. You can see the Cologne Cathedral. It is recommended to stay here. It is a little far from the city."

Lindner Hotel Cologne am Dom
9.0 (58 reviews)

Lindner Hotel Cologne am Dom ★★★★

📍 Stolkgasse, An den Dominikanern 4a, Cologne

"The hotel is in a good location, just a 5-minute walk to Cologne Cathedral. We went there again at night to take pictures of the night view. The environment here is good and quiet, the shower has a large amount of water, the breakfast is rich, and there is a paid parking lot in the underground, which is very convenient. Everything is quite satisfactory"

8.9 (230 reviews)

Mercure Hotel Severinshof Koeln City ★★★★

📍 Einfahrt Tiefgarage, Severinstraße 199, Cologne

"It's a relatively new generation of mercure hotel, compared with Dusseldorf. The overall environment and facilities are better than it. while the price as well"

Urban Loft Cologne
8.8 (123 reviews)

Urban Loft Cologne ★★★★

📍 Eigelstein 41, Cologne

"As a frequent traveler, I found this hotel to have a very distinct character. The pros are: 1. It's quite close to the station, though still a six or seven-minute walk; 2. The decor is very stylish, with thoughtful design and quality materials, and well-considered placement of outlets and lighting; 3. The bedding and pillows are excellent; 4. The rooftop offers an unbeatable view. However, the cons are equally obvious: 1. The double-layered curtains don't block out light and are covered in stains. It was so disgusting that we even cleaned them with alcohol ourselves; 2. The double room only came with one chair. They could easily add a folding chair; 3. The water pressure is incredibly strong, which is great, but because the floor is too flat and the shower partition isn't wide enough, water splashes all over the floor during a normal shower; 4. There are no water glasses or a kettle in the room. You have to go downstairs to get water. In Germany, this is typically the setup you'd find in a cheaper business hotel, but this hotel's price point isn't cheap. Other brand hotels at this price usually have kettles and coffee machines in the rooms. This was the worst hotel in terms of value for money (price vs. amenities) during my entire European trip. And because I had to get hot water at least twice a day, one staff member was extremely impatient, even openly showing it, which was terrible service; 5. Coffee is actually free from 11:30 PM to 11:30 AM, but the staff didn't proactively mention it. One even claimed it wasn't free after 6:00 AM and required payment. I feel the hotel could really improve on this point; they should just be more generous. I wouldn't consider staying at a hotel like this again unless the price was a third lower. Also, breakfast is 19 Euros per person. The information on Ctrip is completely wrong and it's very mediocre, not worth it. You can buy good bread and organic cold cuts from the supermarket and bakery next door for less than five Euros."

Dorint An der Messe Köln Hotels in Cologne

Dorint An der Messe Köln

"Luckily my trip is for leisure, otherwise, if it was a business trip, I would immediately check-out, reason, internet is horribly and disappointingly slow. and what’s with the vault/safe is useless. i will never use a credit card just to lock or open a safe. what if it compromises y data, besides what if i don’t have a credit card that means, i can’t use the safe? not very intuitive."

Hyatt Regency Cologne Hotels in Cologne

Hyatt Regency 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."

Premier Inn Koln City Sud Hotels in Cologne

Premier Inn Koln City Sud

"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 am Dom ★★★★
"The hotel is nice, but slightly outdated. On the plus side, it's conveniently located, close to the train station and Cologne Cathedral. The staff is wonderful; one of the receptionists spoke Russian at check-out, which was unexpected and very nice. You can leave your suitcases when you check out. Excellent breakfasts. The bed is good. On the minus side, some things were a bit dirty, like the carpet, the bathtub, and the kettle inside."
