Urban Loft 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."
Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom ★★★★★
"Well located, very old rooms. Restaurant beautiful and sophisticated, unfortunately very few opinions and expensive"
Pullman Cologne ★★★★
"location is great, hotel seems slightly older but totally no issues for me at all. when going for global, premium hotels, you wont go wrong. room is clean and have all we need! most importantly the free mini bar is a nice touch! staff are friendly & welcoming too!"
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."
Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★
"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."
Stern am Rathaus ★★★
"The room was clean and tidy, and the service was excellent. They were very patient, especially since we couldn't communicate verbally. Thank you!"
La Belle 10
"Not Bad but no left"
Hotel Merian ★★★
"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."
Hyatt Regency Cologne ★★★★★
"It's located across from Cologne Cathedral, and looks spectacular lit up at night. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I was happy to have free water in the room, but perhaps because Germany is an environmentally advanced country, it was bottled water rather than plastic bottles. It's inconvenient to carry around, but it was enough for making tea in the room. If I had to say something negative, it would be that you have to cross a bridge to get to Cologne Cathedral and the station, but you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to the hotel entrance. It was a bit inconvenient to go up and down with a suitcase."

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."
Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse
"Slightly remote from main city, around 5 min walk to the nearest U-Bahn station, but overall cleanness and facilities were fine. Air con included"
Adina Apartment Hotel Cologne
"Hotel is tidy and best is the location where is very close the the exhibition centre and the subway station "Koln Messe". There are 2 nice restaurants just at around 50 meters far from the hotel."
Lindner Hotel Cologne am Dom
"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"
Mercure Hotel Koeln West
"Lovely hotel - nearby tram, great choice of good quality food at breakfast, small pool and sauna. Highly recommend."
Best Western Plus Hotel Koeln City
"The hotel is clean and tidy, Best Western uniform standard"
Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection by Hilton

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza
"The location is good, about a 20-minute walk from Cologne Cathedral. The surrounding environment is nice, the space layout is relatively reasonable, the storage settings are good, and the living is quite comfortable."
Leonardo Hotel Köln
"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."
LOGINN Hotel Köln Airport
"Good location, friendly staff."
Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection
"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."
Trip Inn Hotel Ariane
"Never come to this place!! This place is poorly maintained, the stopper of the sink is missing and there’s mosquitoes which wake me up during night. Ventilation is so bad. Only acceptable point of this place is the location. The toilet is broken, keep leaking water after flush. All in all, just simply a worst hotel. Can’t imagine how can they award a three stars."
art'otel Cologne
"Very friendly welcome. Great rooms with a spacious shower. The sink being in the room instead of the bathroom takes some getting used to."
Courtyard by Marriott Cologne
"Hotel staff very friendly, in a great ideal location near Alexanderplatz. We asked for a room overlooking the railway and TV tower, and the hotel were more than accomodating with this request. 10/10 would stay again!"
Classik Hotel Antonius
"A nice hotel for a city break. The location is very central. The rooms (we had a Prestige room) are spacious, except the bathroom is a bit small. Breakfast was good, standard fare. For the price, we would have expected a bit more variety."
NH Koeln Altstadt
"Very nice hotel in center near the river. Everything was great"
