Where to stay in Koln

We had a great stay at 25hours The Circle, a hotel that blends style, comfort, and personality — occasionally with a little more personality than strictly necessary. Service & Atmosphere The staff were warm, efficient, and genuinely helpful. The relaxed, friendly attitude made the stay easy from start to finish. Breakfast The breakfast was excellent — generous, fresh, and above the usual hotel standard...

Very nice hotel. The rooms are quiet and nicely decorated in an original way. Access to the sauna is included in the price so one can relax in the evening. The restaurant on 8th floor provides tasty and original food and features a decent wine list. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

Really enjoyed the co-working space here! The atmosphere is cozy and well-designed, and the team is always friendly and ready to help. It might not be the perfect setup for everyone in terms of comfort, but the staff truly go above and beyond to make it a great experience. The fact that the co-working area is free is a huge bonus. I was so happy with my time here that when my family visited Cologne...

Perfect hotel for me and the other half to use as a base to explore Kolne. It's located a few minutes walk south of the Belgian Quarter which has plenty of cafes and bars. 5 minutes to the west there is a decent shopping district with plenty of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. If you like Asian food you're well catered for. The hotel itself is modern welcoming and well set out with a quirky...

It's too hip for me personally. Lots of cool features, but a few basics are missing, like a suitcase rack, an enclosed shower area, and better lighting for the mirror on the sink.

The hotel room was great, had a good layout. Their shampoo and body gel had a great smell. The hotel has a sense of design.

As a Globalist, I was upgraded to a suite overlooking the Rhine — every evening I would sit by the window and watch the bridge glowing under the sunset. Those moments alone were worth the stay. Breakfast was exceptional, both in quality and variety, easily among the best I’ve had in Europe. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, creating a sense of welcome that felt effortless. The complimentary...

Awesome stay! If you have the points, definitely choose the Club Floor. It's only 3,000 more points per night but an excellent value. We got a room facing the cathedral, etc. it was spectacular. The staff were top notch.

We were pleasantly surprised by the Hyatt Regency Cologne Hotel’s convenient location and comfortable rooms, and the staff was very accommodating… The hotel exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean, stylish, and comfortable, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, attentive, and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere… The hotel's amenities were also...

nice people, but hotel little old

I was fully satisfied with our stay at this hotel everything from start to finish was great! The location is simply unbeatable, offering the most stunning view of the Cologne Bridge and the Kölner Dom. Waking up to that skyline was a real highlight of the trip. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we especially appreciated having both a shower and a bathtub separated, a small luxury that made...

I stayed here with family in May 2025. We were checked in by a lovely lady, Isabelle from Brazil, who was very kind and welcoming. We were given upgrades on both rooms and offered complimentary breakfast as members of the loyalty program. The stay was wonderful and the views of the city and the Rhine just amazing. Coincidentally, Isabelle also checked us out after the stay and again, we had a very...

To arena, perfect to stay! Also to the city center, easily to get there by tram. Staffs are all nice and helpful.

It is on the west side of the exhibition center, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the north entrance. There is shampoo, but no conditioner. There is hand sanitizer and body lotion, but no soap. There is a kettle. The weather is super dry. The same temperature is about 10 degrees higher than that in coastal cities in China.

Overall, the living environment is quite comfortable and acceptable.

Very good, a visiting customer from China, hope to stay again next time!

The room I booked for the exhibition is across the street from the exhibition hall, which is very convenient. The restaurant and bar inside are good value for money, and there is also a sauna. The only thing is that the hotel's underground parking lot is too expensive at 32 euros a day. Others are ok.

The hotel is very close to the Cologne Exhibition Hall, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. The receptionist is very friendly. The room is clean and sanitary, and there is plenty of hot water. Disadvantages: Breakfast is a bit expensive at 28 euros; the quilt is too thin and too short (but not cold). Summary: I will choose this place again when I attend the Cologne Exhibition next time.

Very spacious rooms, and the whole place has the feel of a luxury hotel. As a family we really looked forward to a hotel breakfast together, and this was a bit disappointing. Despite requesting gluten free options three days in advance, we were faced with a grumpy response when asking for them on the day and then offered a plate with three stale rice cakes. We did then also receive four rolls and the...

We had a good stay at Ameron . Before our stay we were offered an upgrade including parking. It was definitely worth the extra cost. The view was amazing looking out over Köln. Good value for money. A bit outside of the city centre but nice and calm. Also close to the freeway

The stay was quite nice. 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. 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...

When we were going to get to the hotel from the garage we rang the bell for the reception to let us in, then we were told that we should use our room card (not in a kind way). 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. We called to see if we could get a baby...

I was looking forward to this hotel, first the check in process took a while, the receptionist was not very friendly. In return the room was very clean, spacious and the breakfast was varied.

Booked this hotel with my colleagues on a business trip. We stayed for one night and thought it was good, so we booked another night. It was mainly because it was close to our business location. The hotel has a good location and convenient transportation. Thumbs up 👍

Front desk women no intrested for work

This hotel is a very good option for the ones who will fly from Cologne airport.

Stayed here for one night to catch a flight the next day. The hotel is not big but relatively clean. It is relatively close to the airport. The shuttle service is very good and convenient, whether it is pick-up or drop-off!

Short walk from the airport. Friendly staff; Lea-Marie and Parvina were able to offer early check-in. Spacious room, cleanly kept. Good amenities and ample natural light.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel, in some sense not even 3 stars... • Although located superclose to the airport the sound insulation is not sufficient, rooms looking east (airport direction) are very noisy until the last flights (sometime around 1 am). • The bathroom seemed refurbished, but some parts were be kept, that were old and worn. • General cleanliness is okay, as is the breakfast. • There's...

The hotel is located minutes from the airport and they provide a free shuttle. All driver and reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities are simple, but everything you need for an overnight business stay; clean & quiet room, clean bathroom, air conditioner, work desk, wifi and a nice view from my room of the airport.

we need to be near the center of Koln.there were two kind of staffs in the hotel office.very nice men and girls working there.nice experience

Hotel wasn't great, the room was too small especially the toile and bathroom. Location was good .

The location slightly far from the central station and other sightseeing , yet it walkable . There is a tram station infront Of this hotel which will be handy if someone don’t wish to walk much .

Clean, good location and decent enough especially for the price. Easy check in and check out, and accessible to loads of areas.

Good budget hotel for a quick stay with a fairly good breakfast layout. Staff is helpful and courteous. Had a wonderful stay.

This one is just okay. It does the job. It's not a big room, but for the most part it has everything you'd expect. I am a tea addict and there was no kettle. Apparently that's a Germany-wide thing? Which is weird to me personally, because if you step into a Rossmann or a Rewe, you'll get mountains of tea. And yet I had to go back to the reception each time.

Nice hotel at walking distance to Koelnmesse

Overall it was a good experience.

The overall environment is good

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.

OK for one night but with a heater that doesn't get warm enough it's a disaster, I was freezing in the room. It wasn't nice. The faucet could do with a new one. And then they put a bottle of water out there without a bottle opener. Not justified for the price in my opinion.

breakfast was ok but boring the same stuff every day, The staff at reception were brilliant and in the foyer you had a popcorn machine and sweets which was a nice touch. It was nice to have a swimming pool and the sauna you had to tell the staff to turn it on an hour before wanting to use. My room being cleaned when I asked for it and being done properly when I complained about it. The coffee was never...

A very pleasant hotel but the pillows were too thin and the duvets too narrow. Very friendly staff.

Ten from York fire Christmas markets and pals birthday. Rooms were great excellent showers. Breakfast covered all the bases. Staff on reception very helpful. Sorted out Koln Cards for us and 2 taxis back to airport. Would like to return in summer to wander by the river. Thank you.

Laid back hotel, with expectational service. The rooms are nice and big. Washroom's a big plus. Wish they could've had a little refrigerator in the room. All in all, loved the stay and would 100% recommend.

Although it is a little far from the station, there are many restaurants nearby, so it was convenient. There are only stairs on some floors, so it is a little difficult to move large luggage. However, the staff will help you move your luggage. I had a very comfortable stay.

I think your experiences will vary depending on the room you’re assigned. Based on other people’s pictures, I realize some guests are assigned modern, renovated rooms, while others (like me) are assigned old, rundown, spartan rooms. I was particularly surprised by: - the many steps in between the room, the elevator, and the reception. Definitely an accessibility issue. - the NOISE coming from the...

The room we stayed in this time was in Zone 2. The room size was good and overall comfortable. The price was only RMB 100 more expensive than a single room. But the check-in time was 3pm, which was a bit too late.

This experience is really good! The product is the same as described, beyond expectations, and well done. The seller's service is particularly good, and the responses are timely and patient. All questions are answered, and the communication is very smooth. Overall, the price-performance ratio is very high, and the experience is very satisfactory. It completely meets my expectations. I will come again...

Although the location is a bit far from the city center, the environment is very beautiful. It seems like there is a forest around it. It is especially popular with retired people who want to take a walk after breakfast and another walk after dinner.

Next to the river and forest. The room is decent and quiet all the time. It would be much better if you could provide free parking.

Located in the suburbs of Cologne, not far from the city center, the transportation is relatively convenient. The main reason is that the surrounding environment of the hotel is very good, with a large forest, lush and green, walking around and looking around, the mood is also comfortable, the breakfast is relatively average.

Overall it’s OK, a high-consumption city in Germany!

We had what is called a deluxe room on the website. The price was okay and the staff was great. The room was not in a great condition. Long black hair on the floor in the bathroom, white and yellow paste on the walls of the bedroom, dust on the coffee machine. We did not have the time or the energy to tell the staff that the room needed cleaning, so they haven’t had a chance to do anything about it...

Gedlich Racing on Tour - Jaumann's Hotel, Cologne/Germany

Super cool, very kind to their clients, helpful with the smile! Thank you Katrin! Great hotel and modern.

Nice quiet hotel. Excellent staff and hospitality.

Excellent 4 🌟 hotel with comfortable Rooms and friendly Services. Highly recommended.

It's a quiet, clean and lovely small hotel with modern looking rooms and very nice staff. I stayed for a week in the spring of 2013 around the Easter holiday and they even gave a chocolate bunny for a gift! It's a fair half an hour walk from the train station into downtown Cologne.

Just location. Anything else is under average. Small rooms, smell in corridors, bath appliances need renovation, etc.

The most noticeable about this hotel is the friendliness of the reception personnel. 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). Check in quickly, asked for a room not facing the train station and got one on the 10th floor. Today checking out another very friendly...

They should change all their bed mattresses as they are old and cause very bad back pain. We told them about this issue, but they did nothing to solve it.

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.

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!

The hotel is very cautious about security. Before entering, need to press doorbell then the staff will allow you to enter. Also, need to use hotel card to enter into residential area. Impressive to have a small balcony & bathtub in a small room.

The hotel also comes with a bathtub, a refrigerator, and a bottle of water. There's a delicious German pub downstairs. However, the hotel's location isn't very convenient; the nearest subway station is about a 10-minute walk, and the cobblestone streets make it difficult to lug a suitcase. Overall, however, it's a good stay.

The room door barely opened. The bathroom needed a thorough cleaning. Dirty grout and walls. The climate control couldn't get it from 27.5 degrees to 24.5 degrees Celsius; the maximum setting was -3 degrees Celsius. The room was nice and spacious with two large beds and a cot. It was a bit noisy, though, as you could hear conversations downstairs on the terrace. We were woken up around 9:00 by...

The location was suitable for the fair. The room was a bit small but extremely clean. The food was adequate.

Basically everything is DIY but for this fees I would say rather fair. I believe I will choose this hotel again next time. So far so good

Remember to arrange check-in in advance, or be sure to request a twin bed if necessary

A comfortable hotel in Cologne-Mülheim, offering reasonable rates even during trade fairs if booked early. A lovely brewery restaurant is located in the same block. Very good breakfast. Easily accessible by public transportation.

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a very enjoyable experience. The location is excellent — close to everything and very convenient for exploring Cologne. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well prepared. The staff were helpful and provided alternative pillows when we requested them, which made our stay even more comfortable. The hotel itself is well maintained and pleasant throughout. Breakfast...

We stayed at this new hotel for one night during our visit to Cologne. The hotel is quite new and modern. It's close to the centre and 15-20 minutes walk to the Cologne cathedral. We were offered a room upgrade to a larger room and a free breakfast due to our Marriott status, which made our experience even more pleasant. The room was super silent and made it a great place to sleep comfortably. The...

We stayed two nights at the Courtyard by Marriott Cologne and overall had a good experience. Thanks to Platinum status, we received a nice corner room — spacious and surprisingly quiet despite facing the street. The room was comfortable, though the interior is a bit dated: simple furnishings, carpet flooring, and the space easily could have accommodated a small sofa. Still, everything was clean and...

Amazing trip with great service and hospitality. The staff were very attentive to every request and provide us a solution

I stayed only one night for a business trip and overall it was perfect. The staff was very helpful, professional, and solution-oriented, always trying to assist. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and functional, with good showers and everything well maintained. Breakfast was very good, although it would be even better if fresh orange juice were offered instead of bottled. That is really the only high...

Bathroom sink is a bit high by using. We stay 5 rooms and 4 rooms have the same complain. Using Shower ok but not really comfortable.

Friendly staff at the front desk. There’s no pool (in case you see the pictures from old reviews). Our room was great. You can hear the tram but not enough to bother us. The hotel is right in front of the Arena and near tram station.

Can't say much about the service since I stayed there for only one night but feels not right to give more than 3 stars because I basically didn't experienced much. Breakfast was good, rooms were a little small but enough for one person. Sadly the TV didn't functioned perfectly. Netflix and many Channels weren't available but didn't mind it since it was just one night. Good bathroom. Location perfect...

Was here for the Chase Atlantic concert- PERFECT location since it was right across from the arena and I didn't have to worry about walking through Köln at night, which as a solo traveling 20± yo woman was beyond fantastic ~ ♡ Staff was really nice and accommodating + breakfast was top. Good variety. All in all, for the price I payed, location and staff i would definitely recommend again and come...

Perfect for those attending concerts at the Arena. Spacious, clean rooms, good-quality bedding, and new, well-maintained facilities. Good breakfast.

The perfect hotel for the arena. We went to see Incubus (30/04/2025). From the end of the gig to the hotel room, with a stop at reception for a bottle of water, it took just 8 minutes! Amazingly convenient. The staff were lovely. One star lost due to low power air conditioning and limited vegan breakfast options.

This is a four star hotel but offers nice service very close to a 5 star. Rooms are wide and sunny if you open the windows with a fresh breeze. You come back from work and find your rooms tidy and clean. No smell at all. Very calm atmosphere around. You can eat. Drink. In the hotel and you can go shopping around in many close-by places. I loved the nice employees. As well the Philippino lady who greets...

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. The room was lacking many of the standard amenities that other hotels offer. Even to the point you have to request room cleaning and hope to get it. We stayed 10 days and never received a room cleaning...

Not good I find it hard to understand how this property has a 4 star rating. Gym was a cupboard. Rooms only cleaned and refreshed on request. Aircon barely functioning. Breakfast overpriced and not good. Bathrooms poorly equipped. All of that said, the staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating.

Unique experience with very decent dining options in and around the property. There was no housekeeping service though and staff could have been a little more polite and helpful.

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!

Super easy check-in and check-out. Friendly staff. The frosted glass wall between the shower and the bed could be a bit confusing. We were very satisfied with everything.

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

the room is on the smaller side but more than enough for a solo traveller. the bed is super comfortable, probably the most comfortable hotel bed i've ever slept in. everything is clean and there is air conditioning. right next to the river and close to the old town and cathedral.

Usual stay. I stay often in this hotel. It is a good match of price and quality

First of all, it’s a great location — not too crowded, close to the train station, and just a short walk to the river, the Chocolate Museum, and the canal. The room was clean, and the service was decent.

The hotel manager is friendly During my stay, I enjoyed the view of the Rhine River and used the indoor pool well ^^ It is right in front of the harbor district and close to the cathedral, so the location is good.

Lyskirchen Köln is such a good choice even the locals and traveling Germans recommend it. The location is 5-7 minutes away from the Chocolate Museum and roughly 15 minutes from the cathedral and central station. You can easily walk to the restaurants (including a nice Thai place called Krua Thai) and bars and reach the Roman museum and Hohenzollern bridge without much effort. The rooms at Lyskirchen...

It wasn’t the best experience for several reasons. First of all, the room lacked some small but important details — for example, there was no kettle. Secondly, the cleanliness was not up to standard; there was noticeable dirt, especially in the bathroom. Towels are not changed daily (the room is cleaned only every three days), which is quite surprising for a four-star hotel — it’s the first time we...

I enjoyed the room overall — it was clean, comfortable, and nicely kept. The bed was a bit small for a double, and while I found it okay, my partner didn’t love it, so I’d say the comfort level was “medium.” We stayed on the 6th floor and had a nice view over the city, which was a great bonus. The bathroom was good, modern and clean. The location is convenient: not right in the center, but an easy...

Loved the neighborhood of this hotel and the walkability to the cathedral. Rooms were basic but clean and quiet. Big bonus was the breakfast- my kids loved it!

The hotel is in a great location and parking with electric charge option. The staff are great but there were some problems with room keys and getting our freezer packs back. Rooms have no kettle (although we were able to get one) not fridges. Good breakfast if included. Overall an okay place to stay.

Great Great hotel, you can found everyrhing what you need for short stays. Only my concern is for pillows, one is very thick other one is very thin in the bed, I need some middle size. Location is very convenient, you can reach everywhere by walk. Due to the only one elevator in the building sometimes you are waiting for access.

Was only there for 1 night but found the hotel to be very clean and in a good area. I arrived at 9:30am thinking I would just have them check my bag until room was ready, but to my surprise they checked me in right away and was able to freshen up and relax before heading out to explore. I left my plug adapter in Frankfurt and they luckily had an adapter for me to borrow during my stay. Breakfast was...

There is a so cool hotel. Clean, calm, in center. Room was so clean and chic. Personal was so kimd and helpful. Especially thank you for everything reception personal that is Manuel. Breakfast is better than the other German hotels. Hotel is close to Colegne Catedral, mall and restaurant. Transport is so easy.

While it's a bit of a distance from the Cologne Exhibition Center, it's conveniently located right next to the subway station, making it very accessible. The facilities are great, and the surrounding area is very pleasant!

It was good in general. But some equipment was not working in order. And as the only elevator doesn’t have the sign from the floor side, it was a bit not convenient.

Great Location! Especially for night life. Pubs, restaurants, shops, supermarket, clubs everything very handy. Transportation too. The accommodation was offering everything needed.

The hotel is excellently located in Cologne. There are plenty of international restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

We had a night out before the titanic exhibition and wanted a hotel in a lively part of cologne. This Hotel in the Frieseviertel was perfect. Good quiet rooms, a healthy breakfast, friendly staff and nightlife just around the corner. We highly recommend the Päffgen Brewery down the road, and Scotia Whisky Store

Location is great, service was very nice and attentive too. The issue here is that the hotel is a time capsule from ´90s of last century. Additionally very inconsistent rooms. We had reserved two double bed rooms. One was double and second two single beds put together. One room had many cosmetics in bathroom rohe other just two half bottles of shampoo. In one room lamp had no bulb.

Everything was good, clean, and the reception was friendly.

I had a truly pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and professional, always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and fully equipped with everything I needed. The breakfast was varied and of high quality, served in a lovely dining area. The hotel’s location was excellent, offering easy access to local attractions and shopping centers. I...

I stayed at this hotel in July 2025 while attending a conference. It is very suitable for solo travelers. The room is quite small, as shown in the photos on the website, but it has everything you need. Considering the price, it is really a good deal. The hotel is very close to the conference center and just one stop away from Cologne Cathedral. I noticed some negative reviews about the front desk...

Our experience at this hotel was unfortunately quite disappointing. First, the lady at the front desk was rude and unwelcoming. When we asked if we could quickly grab something from our bags before storing them in the luggage room, she rolled her eyes at us and acted like we were a major inconvenience. Besides, one of us had an injury and needed a bandage, but the hotel didn’t even have a basic first...

We stayed in the two-bedroom for one night. I had booked and paid through Booking.com. As in the images, the shower cabin was in the room, the toilet part was separate. There was no problem with cleanliness, the staff at the reception were friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute walk from the tram stop, and it's also practical in terms of transportation.

Greta choice for the price and/ or if you wanna stay close to exhibition center. Good service

I read the reviews and was honestly scared to book this hotel, but overall, most of the reviews were exaggerated In my opinion. Sure, the hotel is a bit old and the rooms have standard moquettes and old showers, but rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. There's no AC or fridge in most rooms unless you book the Comfort triple. But, if you visit during colder days or during the winter for a few...

the room is clean, the owner is gentle and responsive. The only problem is there is no sound proof at all - considering this is a general flat problem, we can still bear with many random noises coming from outside or inside the building. But there are two permanent residents who share the flat with us cooking and talking to each other from 23pm to 1am, just outside our room. we felt weird to tell them...

The front desk staff was kind, the location was good, and the breakfast was delicious. The shower didn't have hot water, but it was hot that day so it wasn't a problem.

Even though a little bit outside the centre, the location is still at walking distance (25 minutes ) to the Dom. The hotel is a little dated but every thing is clean and in good working order. And the breakfast is great and plentiful. Very good value.

i booked this hotel because all other hotels in Köln with reasonable price were already fully booked. Don't expect much for the price you pay. Hotel is old and street is noisy, room is quite spacious.

This place was very nice. It’s not close the central station but surrounding area was very nice. It’s very close to kolumba museum. Staff and breakfast was very good.
