Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln ★★★★
"nice hotel and good location, good selection of breakfast."
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."
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."
Ameron Köln Hotel Regent ★★★★
"We were there with our dog. The reception was very dog-friendly. We found a dog bed, bowls, and dog biscuits in the room. Chromecast on the TV was great! Breakfast: lots of selection, fresh, and delicious."
25Hours Hotel Cologne The Circle ★★★★
"Very good interior design and modern hotel. Location is super good. Walkable distance to shopping area, to museums, to various attraction points, especially the cathedral church!"
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."
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 Severinshof Koeln City ★★★★
"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 ★★★★
"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
"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
"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."
Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse
"Our stay at the Mercure Hotel exceeded all our expectations. Really good location, close to many amenities. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Very friendly staff and a great choice of breakfast options. Would definitely visit again and recommend this hotel to anyone 🙂💫"
Adina Apartment Hotel Cologne
"Was okay for short term stay"
Hilton Cologne
"Spacious room. Hotel is close to the train station, Koln Cathedral and Ludwig Museum."
Mercure Hotel Koeln West
"Nice hotel. 20 minutes by to the centre by team. There is free parking in front of the hotel. The room is big"
Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom
"Good location, very historical"
Best Western Plus Hotel Koeln City
"The hotel is clean and tidy, Best Western uniform standard"
Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection
"An absolutely wonderful experience! The hotel and service were top-notch, the surroundings beautiful, and the location incredibly convenient. We could even see the back of the cathedral, and it's very close to the Rhine River. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip!"
Trip Inn Hotel Ariane
"Horrible dark hotel. Shower and location just ok. Asked for extra pillows housekeeping went home at 10pm. No coffee or snacks available no breakfast or kettle facility. Filthy dirty carpets in the hallways. Bad choice !"
Cologne Marriott Hotel
"The facilities are showing their age, especially the bathroom. There's only a bathtub, and showering in it felt inconvenient and somewhat unsafe due to how slippery it was. Cleanliness was acceptable. The location is excellent, less than a 5-minute walk from the train station. The breakfast service was a bit uncomfortable; you couldn't serve yourself coffee, and staff would clear plates before we were finished eating, which made us feel rushed and quite uneasy. I suppose they might have thought this was attentive service."
Hotel am Augustinerplatz
"Check in was easy, its a nice hotel right in the town and a walking distantie from the train station. The service was good but did not expect the wellness centrum to be alocated at a different building but still was nice to have use the faciliteiten."
Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza
"The room was nice and clean, and it was quite close to the city center, within walking distance. There were lots of DM (Direct Mail) stores nearby; I always buy throat lozenges from DM stores when I have a cold."
art'otel Cologne
"This place was absolutely fantastic. First off, the location was perfect – I could walk to everything in the city. The staff were friendly, and the room was great too. I'm leaving with nothing but good memories."
Legend Hotel
"No complaints from my colleague!"
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."
