Best Hotels in Koln

breakfast was probably one of the best we have experienced in Europe. One downside was the disappointing so called fitness suite

im sorry to say a treadmill,a couple of exercise bikes & a multigym doesnt really add up to a suite. Also the changing rooms need addressing as there was only 2 booths to get changed in

It was quite an affair with accommodations also provided by the hotel with 5 Star service. Great memories throughout Deutschland and Austria

There is no river view from the window.it is not as expected .

Good location, cool lobby, and clean rooms. We stayed for 2 nights. Staff were very accommodating and provided extra items like dental and shaving kits. Also gave us muesli for not using room cleaning service.

Near to the altstadt and subway. Lots of bars and restaurants around. Nice hotel but some facilities are old, great reception desk. Good sauna and swimming pool. Break fast was ok

We had the Continental breakfast in the Executive lounge and it was excellent with everything you could want. I do have to say that the parking was extremely tight so if you have a bigger car be careful and take it slow

Hotel is clean n not far from train station. So is near to the Koln Catheral . Nearby also hv a restaurant that serve the best pork knuckle.

Location is excellent too within walking distance of almost everything you would like to see

Took a short break in Cologne during weekend. Marriott is a nice place to stay with five minutes walk from the central station. Easy to find on arrival and easy for your departure by catching a train to airport

GOOD LOCATION, CLEAN AND NICE HOTEL.

- Convenient location with short walking distance to the train station; very busy surroundings with restaurants and bars. just wish there is an Expresso coffee machine in the room instead of some instant coffees

Great hotel. Good location. Large rooms. Delicious food. There are all necessary services.

Location is perfect- right next to the Lanxess, and not too far from Cologne airport. The rooms are spacious, spotless and modern. The lobby is comfortable and an easy place to relax before or after the day

Perfect for a two day stay, specially if you are going to an event in the Koln Lanxess Arena. Not much to do close by, but perfect walking distance from the venue, subway, and some restaurants

The temperature could be controlled perfectly and also had automatic electric blinds. Had a small fridge, iron, dryer and everything. One of the most luxurious hotels I have ever stayed in

The room facilities and cleanliness were perfect. The hotel staff were all kind and helpful. I had a very comfortable stay. I would like to stay here again in future. Thanks!

Love this hotel, stayed here for the second time this weekend. Large quiet room, humongous comfy bed, and fantastic breakfast buffet! Service is good and parking is expensive (€20) but secure

This place is ok and price for the room especially with the location in connection to Christmas markets was excellent. The breakfast situation is pretty terrible

Small but clean and stylish rooms. Awesome bar area and great breakfast spread, really also good spread for vegans

I had a great stay at Motel One Köln-Neumarkt. The hotel is in a fantastic location, conveniently close to the city center and right near public transport, making it easy to explore the area

The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made my stay pleasant and relaxing

They have one little bar of food and many many people coming down at the same time. We decided on the second day to go out and find breakfast. The room was small but ok for 2 nights

We loved our stay in Motel One! The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. The location is great - all the main sightseeings are in walkable distance. The breakfast is really good too with lots of options

Absolutely incredible stay at Holiday Inn Express Cologne (Köln), highly recommend staying here :) Parking is great for those that are travelling by car, the car park is directly next to/ underneath the hotel

You can access it through reception, no long walks to find your car. The room was amazing with fantastic views of the city which I've included. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was amazing

Great contentious experience while staying at Holiday Inn Express, Colonge, Germany. The amibition, helpful staff, thoughtfully designed the services that required at each occasion of the daily needs

Rooms on the smallish side but spotless. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast is typical continental but very filling and freshly prepared

Ideal location and easy to reach the place in minimum time using public transportation. I strongly recommend people worth staying for the value price

The staff here are brilliant and they'll look after you. We will certainly he returning to Köln and certainly be returning to this hotel

My fiancé and I stayed here July 2025 to attend a wedding just outside Cologne. Everything about our stay was excellent and we felt we received great value for money

Anastasia was awesome! She is so kind and patient and she helped me with many confusing situations from public transit to my car rental questions! Thank you Anastasia! The room itself is of a good size, and very functional

They were so helpful helping us figure out the best way to our wedding venue, and they arranged a later check-out time for us

The breakfast was decent as we we are able to have some hot scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries and coffee before heading off to the wedding in the morning. The location was fantastic- walking distance from the train station

The hotel also allowed us to store our luggage there after check-out as we had an evening flight, and lent us an umbrella as it was raining outside

The thing that stood out most at this hotel was the polite, helpful and friendly staff - particularly Christian and Rifqi

Review: We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The facilities were good, and the beds were comfortable. Additionally, the proximity to public transportation made it very easy to reach the city

I was there for 10+ days on a business visit. It is easy to get to the hotel and many places within walking distance, including public transport. What bummed me were the extra charges for parking and breakfast

It is difficult to use a room card when we have not checked in yet. The room itself was okay, nothing personal and good for staying overnight. However, the bathroom floor was not clean

However, the air conditioning did not work properly, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a good experience with some room for improvement

Had I known I would have to pay for breakfast, I'd have stayed at a Hilton where I get free breakfast and preferred parking with diamond status. Otherwise, the hotel staff were very nice and welcoming

The room we were assigned afterwards was clean and had a lovely bed and a spacious bathroom with a good shower. We would have liked a small mini fridge in the room (but hey, you can't have everything)

Excellent stay at this hotel, very comfy beds and a really clean room. Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful including Thore who made a lasting impression with his helpfulness and conversation with us

Otherwise very good and only one stop away from the Central Station

When we asked about leaving our bags in the hotel after checkout due to a late flight we were told that as members (had signed us up with consent at check in) we could have a later checkout which was a godsend

We loved it! Had a great experience. Everyone was kind and friendly, service for breakfast was fabulous, along with the food, and the room was nice and clean. Would absolutely stay again.

Friendly service at the reception desk, comfortable rooms and a very good bar to grab a bite or a drink. The only improvement would be a better fitness area, is almost non existent now

Thank you to all of the team at NH media park and I look forward to staying again

I loved that they offered free coffee and water in the lobby, such a nice touch. The room had double windows, so even though it’s close to the station, it was completely quiet once the windows were shut

I had a great stay at this hotel! It’s just a short walk from the train station, which made everything super convenient. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly

Great little hotel, pretty trendy. Amazing rooftop garden with views of the city and Dom. Super convenient location next to the Central Station, walking distance from the old town, museums and central shopping district

Great stay! The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short walk from the train station. The rooftop area is a lovely bonus, perfect for relaxing

The location of the hotel is very good(close to the railway station and cathedral area). I can say that rooms are not big but they are okay

Went just to take a mini holiday for the weekend. The rooms with a view of the cathedral and the train station are louder because they face the streets. I should not have paid extra for the view option

The hotel is clean and tidy, Best Western uniform standard

Great hotel with good room and facilities. Slightly far from city center requiring about a 30 to 40min walk.

This hotel is very new and well-equipped. It is a very cost-effective hotel in Europe. The transportation is convenient overall, but if you use public transportation, you should be careful when you come back at night

You will pass a very dark park. The nearest supermarket is 14 minutes away on foot. If you need anything, you can buy it when you pass by the supermarket and bring it back to the hotel

Breakfast: it's done in buffet form, to my surprise there was a very friendly cook that will make you a very delicious omelet to your wishes. Definitely a hotel to go back to!

I was passing through Cologne and it was on the way and the location is perfect!

but it misses some essential things that would make it a very good hotel, especially when traveling for work

The bar downstairs (that serves as a reception) is really good, cocktails are amazing and I'm all in for the "free drink" offer instead of daily room cleaning

We had a fantastic stay at the Ruby Ella! The hotel's quirky industrial style with a music theme is both unique and stylish. It's the perfect place to soak up the festive atmosphere of Cologne's Christmas markets

Room was spotless and had decent amenities. Would much rather have had a TV I could connect to my own Netflix etc. than a pointless Marshall speaker. The Galley idea is great, but please provide proper tea

They have an own concept called "lean luxury", two completely opposite words meaning in real life that: the walls are "industrial style", there's no carpet, the ambiance is cold (low temperature as well as figuratively cold), the sink is literally 1 meter away from the bed and you have to do your own check-in on a screen at the bar

But the breakfast feels a little incomplete and the personal could be a bit more helpful. All in all, Ruby is an amazing bar & lounge that has a hotel attached to it

I was there a few years ago.And I can can was actually say it was one of the best hotels I have been too.

A bit out of the way it is for pedestrians, however, to the Duomo, a good piece has to be laid back but this is also not a Problem because of the way the river is all along very beautiful and worth a visit

Parking pricey if you use the hotel car park, but you might be lucky enough to be able to park outside. Breakfast also expensive for what you get. Nice clean friendly hotel though and would stay there again.

Very friendly staff, cozy rooms and good Kölsch. At the best a room in the backyard, as it can be on the main road the louder. The Internet was very fast.

Lovely rooms. Quiet and serene. Good hodpitality. Great breakfast.

Big Clean rooms. Good shower with presure enough to get clean. Fair prices both on room and Minibar. Good Service over All.

Highly recommended by friends, the experience was really good, the hygiene, service and facilities were beyond expectations, looking forward to staying next time😊.

This hotel is perfect in so many ways. Everything they do is elegant and efficient. The staff always smiled and spoke very good English

Dining is exceptional, with a gourmet restaurant and a sophisticated bar perfect for unwinding. The service is outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to make every moment unforgettable

I have been staying at the Excelsior for over 30 years. (next to the Cathedral) I look forward to my next visit. Thank you to Joseph and the wonderful staff for making my stay wonderful

The Excelsior Hotel in Cologne is a masterpiece of modern luxury and style. Located directly across from the iconic Cologne Cathedral, the views are simply breathtaking

The sleek, chic design of the interiors, combined with spacious, impeccably clean rooms and premium amenities, ensures a comfortable and elegant stay

so nice the hotel and the staff is so kind and also good the food that place

I loved ibis Koeln messe. It was so nice we almost extending our stay. It had a home feel and was just so peaceful. Breakfast was amazing. Loved everything about the hotel. The best ibis I have stayed.

Stayed here for one night as a stopover before onward journey. About a 15 minute walk from the nearest train station, which was okay. Room was comfortable and good air con, simple but did the job well

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I had booked for day use (10am-5pm) rather than overnight. My room wasn’t ready for my check in so they let have the room until 6pm instead which was great.

The ibis Köln Messe is a budget hotel located near the Koelnmesse exhibition center in Cologne, Germany. It's a popular choice for business travelers due to its proximity to the exhibition halls and the Lanxess Arena

provided in the room, but the front desk said that the water from the bathroom tap is drinkable. There is a restaurant on the first floor. The food is delicious but you have to pay to eat

Great location as it is only 1 min walk to the station. Love the service and the room as well. Good for short term stays. Would definitely come back here again!

Great hotel location, but room view wasn't very good. Excellent service from hotel staff and even provided a complimentary bottle of Prosecco for my birthday. Room was very hot and pillows not so good though

Entrance to the hotel is straight line walking a cross the Brenzlauer Platz, about 100 m. Two small downsides: The mattress of the bed should be renewed and replaced with a harder one

Excellent location, opp Central station. Staff friendly and attentive. Room is clean. Enjoy my stay. Only comment is toilet is small and the sink needs to change. Will return in future.

And their was some disturbing noise (I am sensitive to noise, in particular at night) from either the compressor or larger blower of some air-conditioning (mine AC was switched off)

Enter the hotel, be greeted with a friendly smile and "just wait a moment" as they were serving another guess trying hard and quit successful to speak in his mother tongue (French)

Very good hotel. Clean, good room and quiet. Close to the metro.

I stayed in the annex hotel not  main hotel booking and would have been a better experience as I had to cross the street  to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast

The parking lot is at the mainbuilding and we stayed in the other building which is across the street and doesn't have the reception desk. It says there is parking provided but you still have to pay 23 euro for 24 hours

As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was impressed by the warm hospitality of the staff. The room was wider and cleaner than the photos, and the bedding was soft and I was able to get a good night's sleep

What a great hotel! Verry friendely People. Location is good because its not far to walk to everything. Breakfast was good lot of choice . En rooms verry clean . We will for sure Come back here .

The breakfast was varied and fresh, so I was satisfied every morning. Above all, the location was great, so I could walk to major tourist attractions and restaurants, which made my travel route very convenient

Great place to admire some of the greatest Formula 1 cars in the history. Surrounded by trophies and a collection of other suvenires creates good atmosphere. Some of other road going cars are amazing too

The best part of the stay was the desk attendants ( Olga and Constance). They did everything they could to make the stay the best it could be.   Overall the room was way overpriced for what it offered

Very nice hotel Friendly receptionist. Lots of details in the hotel. The shower was the very best. With side beams.

Not good I find it hard to understand how this property has a 4 star rating. Rooms only cleaned and refreshed on request. Breakfast overpriced and not good

Such a cool experience! We stayed in a themed room and it was well worth it. Loved seeing the Micheal Schumacher collection as well! Few restaurant options in the hotel as well, no need to leave! Would recommend!

Great, relaxed place with free entrance to the Schumacher collection. Definitely would recommend. Also a restaurant and shop where people are super friendly and you can relax.

Not so good. Little bit disappointed with the room.

Parking place but limited due to residential area

Lovely hotel, with great decor. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Very close to a lidl so fresh pastries each morning- a lot cheaper than the 13 euro surcharge for breakfast in the hotel

The location is very near to expo. I highly recommend for business travellers attending expo.

good hotel, nice and very gentle crew! Rooms are good, well equipment, but no luxury... The design in lobby, restaurant and bar is outstanding! The hotel is close to the exhibition center (15min walk) in a quite area...

Deluxe 2 person room is huge! And huge bathroom! Very nice to stay for the night in our way back home. We did not take breakfast so don’t know about that. Outside of center but tram 5 min walking around the corner

Staff friendly, room is good, Frankfurter station is 5-7 min walking, only minor issue is no tea or coffee machine and they are very costly if ordered a single cup in kitchen.

Food for breakfast was decent as there was choice in food. The room was of good size and was comfortable. I can recommend as a place to stay

Good location to get to trade fair by train, quicker than many downtown locations

Nice place with standard Ibiz rooms, very silent due to the location. Very easy to reach from the airport (1 station distance + short walk). Avoid kitchen, which is just proposing Flammkuchen and pizza

Rooms were nice and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Staff friendly and welcoming. Only 2 minute walk from the train station. With several fast food places near by.

If you're happy with Ibis hotels, you'll be happy with this one. Name is a bit confusing because not really at airport, one stop on train and short walk

the pillows were a little too soft for me but its in a great location! Right in the middle of town! Plenty of shops and grocery around and there is a market during the week. I would stay again it was a good price

Excellent, polite professional staff, very helpful. Comfy and clean rooms. Great selection at breakfast, good value for money

Clean. Tricky shower set up. Friendly staff. Great location near the airport.we had an early flight the following day this hotel worked perfectly.

Lovely management at reception. The rooms are well priced , with breakfast as an extra starting from 8 euros. Local shops are around the corner if you need anything

No kettle or microwave in my room, but was not needed from my end. Local tram stop is next door going directly into town, with the river Rhine a few meters away

I visited here for about 6 nights and it was great. They had a breakfast buffet every morning that was about $8. The rooms are decent and the beds firm
