Top Cologne Hotel Reviews

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

10/10 Excellent

"Truly excellent ♥️"

Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel great informative staff. Excellent water stop with both still and sparkling water available 24/7. So good to return yo the hotel for a cold glass of water. Sauna and gym looked great though didn't use and didn't use restaurant either. Great price for great hotel walkable to city centre. Highly recommend."

a&o Köln Neumarkt

8/10 Good

"We booked this not realising it was a hostel so feared the worst. The reception staff was lovely and friendly the amenities on offer seemed to be brilliant for travellers - pool table, vending machines, breakfast deals, laundry room etc. Few downsides - no air con so the corridors had an odour our room has a huge window that"

Premier Inn Köln City Mediapark

8/10 Good

"Premier Inn almost always best value for money. Travelling as a family of 4, the room was huge and clean. Breakfast was excellent as always. Vending machines in the lobby were out of action so had to purchase 2 bottles of water from the night reception for 13 euros! Car park was very small and the bays were very tight for most cars so so many of them were cutting into the bay next to them."

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff, including the breakfast area, was very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more pleasant. The breakfast is really good, but I would suggest having some cakes, the only thing was missing for my taste. the rest, it is fantastic."

Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel with great facilities. The bedroom was very comfortable, quiet and good air con. We loved the breakfast for the variety and most important for us that it was gluten free friendly. A special shout out for excellent male waitor in rooftop restaurant, very good at his job. Also food was super."

Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom was amazing, and not long enough! The room was absolutely beautiful with plenty of space, and the staff was so welcoming and friendly! It's an excellent location right around the corner from the train station and the Dom and shopping! This will always be our go to hotel when visiting Cologne!"
