Steigenberger Hotel Köln

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

📍 Habsburgerring 9-13, Cologne
★★★★ 9.1 (184 reviews)

"The room is very big and clean. Very comfortable bed to have a good night sleep. However, only one bottle of water is provided for each check in (though we stayed for two nights). So had to purchase expensive water at the lobby."

LOGINN Hotel Köln Airport

LOGINN Hotel Köln Airport

📍 Am Bahnhof 91, Cologne

"The room was new and very clean."

Hilton Cologne

Hilton Cologne

📍 Marzellenstraße 13-17, Cologne
★★★★★ 8.9 (468 reviews)

"room size is ok, breakfast is ok, I would say this is a average hotel that not thing too good or bad. Free wifi and the speed is good, no bathtub, breakfast is the same everyday, very close to the Dom."

Dorint An der Messe Köln

Dorint An der Messe Köln

📍 Deutz-Mülheimer Str. 22-24, Cologne
★★★★ 8.7 (75 reviews)

"It would be good to know that the city of Cologne charges a high city tax in addition to the accommodation price, which has to be paid upfront at the front desk. The invoice is only provided after check-out. The internet was overloaded and didn't work, making the in-room tablet useless. The staff could only offer standard apologies like 'I'm sorry.' The price was outrageous for what was offered! It's an outdated 3-star hotel with a tiny TV. The coffee was from the cheapest instant powder. The towels need to be replaced; they're completely worn out, even after multiple changes. Next time, I'll stay in a better hotel and give the exorbitant price difference to a taxi driver instead."

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

📍 Pipinstraße 1, Cologne

"Good pricing and that’s about it."

Pullman Cologne

Pullman Cologne

📍 Helenenstraße 14, Cologne
★★★★ 9.3 (176 reviews)

"You would expect more from a trusted international brand like Pullman and as an Accor member, unfortunately the service was truly disappointing! Chose the brand despite the location being some distance away from Hbf. The hotel check-in reception spoilt our experience - cut us off extremely rudely when we tried to check in and said she can only deal with check outs at that time. There were no queue and no crowd at that moment and she refused to process any administration. WHope Pullman can step up the customer service experience in future."

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection

📍 Kurt-Hackenberg-Platz 1, Cologne
★★★★ 9.5 (132 reviews)

"This hotel's Cologne Cathedral view is absolutely breathtaking, but what was equally impressive were the location, service, and cleanliness. When I first arrived from the train station, I foolishly didn't look up the route properly and ended up dragging my heavy luggage up and down stairs, when I could have avoided them by taking a different path. Despite the difficult journey to the hotel, the staff greeted us so warmly and genuinely wished my sister a happy birthday that all my weariness turned into joy. And when we got to the room, we were greeted with such an amazing view and a beautiful room! Thanks to this, we had a wonderful time in Cologne for two days, listening to the bells of Cologne Cathedral. When checking out and heading back to the train station, I followed the staff's directions and found a flat, easy route back. Oh, the only minor inconveniences were the opaque glass in the bathroom and having to shower in the bathtub."

B&B HOTEL Köln-Messe

B&B HOTEL Köln-Messe

📍 Gummersbacher Str. 6, Cologne

"I didn't realize it was a HOSTEL when I booked, which was a bummer. It's very close to the train station and Cologne Cathedral, just a few hundred meters' walk, making transport, shopping, and dining incredibly convenient. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning. To be fair, many buildings in the old town don't have AC, and usually, it's fine. However, Cologne has been exceptionally hot these past few days, in the 30s°C, which was really unbearable. (Normally, it's only around 20°C this time of year, and AC wouldn't be needed at all.) The breakfast was very basic: a few types of bread, three kinds of cold cuts... and there were even signs prohibiting taking too much or wasting food. Honestly, it's not worth spending an extra hundred-plus for such a breakfast. Just a short walk away, McDonald's offers a much more satisfying meal for 10-15 euros. Also, check-in is self-service via a machine, and you have to scan a QR code for breakfast, which clearly saves on staff. However, the staff were relatively friendly and offered services like luggage storage."

25Hours Hotel Cologne The Circle Hotels in Cologne

25Hours Hotel Cologne The Circle

"Not too far from the center. This hotel is not a big 5-star hotel but it is a decent option if the city is very busy."

Eden Hotel Früh am Dom Hotels in Cologne

Eden Hotel Früh am Dom

"It was very conveniently located near Cologne Cathedral and the station. I only added breakfast once, but it was very delicious. There was a bar just below the hotel, serving fresh beer from "Fruh," the name of the hotel, which I went to for dinner (there was no discount). The Eisbein and fresh sausages were also very delicious. The room was spacious and clean. When I booked, I requested a non-smoking room near the elevator, and that was what I got, but I wish I had requested a room with a bathtub."

NH Collection Köln Mediapark Hotels in Cologne

"The hotel facilities are clean and the environment is pleasant. However, the front desk service needs improvement, especially when guests arrive early and cannot check in until the very last minute. Hope this can be improved!"

Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★
"Our stay at Steigenberger Hotel Cologne was completely unacceptable. The air conditioning in our room was freezing and malfunctioning, despite numerous requests to reception. Staff gave us conflicting information, empty promises, and failed to coordinate or resolve the issue. This constitutes a clear breach of the services promised at booking. Under consumer rights and hotel service regulations, we demand an immediate full refund for this stay. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to escalate the matter through legal and consumer protection channels. Unser Aufenthalt im Steigenberger Hotel Köln war völlig inakzeptabel. Die Klimaanlage in unserem Zimmer war eiskalt und funktionierte nicht, trotz zahlreicher Meldungen an die Rezeption. Das Personal gab widersprüchliche Informationen, leere Versprechen und unternahm keinerlei Maßnahmen, das Problem zu beheben. Dies stellt eine klare Verletzung der bei der Buchung zugesicherten Leistungen dar. Nach Verbraucherrechten und Hotelservice-Vorschriften fordern wir die sofortige vollständige Rückerstattung. Sollte dies nicht erfolgen, sehen wir uns gezwungen, rechtliche und verbraucherschutzrechtliche Schritte einzuleiten."

Pullman Cologne ★★★★
"It is the perfect place to spend your time in Köln, just a 15-minute walk to the famous cathedral and 10 minutes to the city centre. Many food spots nearby (a 4-5 minute walk). It has a parking garage, which is very convenient for us. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay at Pullman. Highly recommended! 👍 Ps. Stunning view from the hotel during sunsets. I believe the other side of the hotel offers a clear view of the cathedral."
