Premier Inn Köln City Süd

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

8/10 Good
"Bog standard premier inn with some confusing lifts.... Staff were friendly on arrival and stored our bags.... was some confusion with staff on checkin but all sorted. Rooms were adequate and as expected. Location was good. Breakfast was typical Premier Inn. Worked well. Would not want to stay more than a few days though."
