Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The room was comfortable with modern updates. The waterfall showerhead was worth the price of admission."

Hilton Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice hotel just steps away from the Köln Cathedral and about a 10 min walk to the “Love lock bridge”. Lots of upscale shopping nearby if you’re into that. Staff was friendly and helpful. We did order room service twice; the 2nd order never came but they did refund the cost. Parking was onsite with easy access to the hotel via lift."

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was around a 20 minute walk from the station and centre but could easily be reached by tram. Hotel was clean & modern. The room was a little small but plenty big enough for 2 of us for 2 nights. We had food & drinks and they were reasonably priced for a hotel. Check in was a little slow due to volume of people but we expected that due to the time. I believe you can check in in advance but we weren't aware before hand. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Would recommend & would stay again"

Dorint An der Messe Köln

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could be better is colder air conditions when we sleep at night. Other than that that, it was perfect!"

Maritim Hotel Köln

8/10 Good

"The building itself is quite unique. The hotel was nice but the rooms were very dated and the bed was very small (smaller than a queen). There are lots of great restaurants in the neighbourhood. The pool was a highlight. Staff were friendly and helpful."

Novotel Köln City
