“Ideal location”

We stayed in December at the time of the Christmas Market though this was not our prime reaon for visiting. The Cathedral and Shopping centre are only a short walk away through the Railway Station shopping area. The room was good value and included breakfast which was full of choices. Staff were friendly and helpful. Their car park at Euro 19 per 24 hrs was full but another was close by at Euro 15 per 24 hrs.

Area recommendations
This neighbourhood is convenient for the Railway Station and the sights.

“Ideal for visiting Koln”

Used this hotel for visiting the Christmas Markets Nov 2011. Very conveniently situated, only 5 mins walk from Koln Cathedral and right next to the train station Situated on a side street it is a quiet, comfortable hotel. Breakfast included. Bar a bit small but you are surrounded by drinking places elsewhere. Will visit markets again and will definately try to get this hotel.

Area recommendations
Koln Christmas Markets 2011. There are 7 markets to visit. The Dom market is 5 mins from hotel and was our overall favourite. Lots to buy and loads to eat/drink. Alt market/Heu Market are another 5 mins walk. Quite atmospheric but alt market was mainly eating places and the Heu is the smallest market but has an ice rink, so you can laugh at the people falling down whilst drinking your gluhwein.Rudolfplatz is the furthest from the cathedral, about 15 min walk but is well worth going to. Neumarkt is nearby and one of the most atmospheric, highly recommended but take your coat with the deepest pockets. Some stall prices are astronomic whilst others are not too bad. The floating market is a total waste of time full of tat. The last market is down by the chocolate museum, not much in this market but the Lindt shop more than made up for it and the hot chocolate is to die for! Overall we had a great time, highly recommended and we will be going back next year.

“Grand City Hotel, will definitely go back!”

The Grand City Hotel in Cologne is in a fantastic location. 2 minutes from the station, 5 minutes from the cathedral. Very good central position. Our room was very good, plenty of space for what we needed. and clean. Close to the river, shopping and easy acces to anywhere in the city via the station. The breakfasts are amazing, buffet style, full english or continental, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, the full works. Set us up for the day out. My wife and I went for a 3 night city break, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to get a good hotel so close to the centre and all the amenities. There weren't really any downsides to the hotel. The staff were very friendly and amenable. It has its own bar which was well stocked. We will definitely return here. First Class!!!

Area recommendations
Lots to do in Cologne.The Lindt chocolate museum/factory is well worth a visit. Next to the factory is a Noah's Ark, great for the kids. A boat trip down the Rhine is definitely reccomended but a lot of these trips are closed down in the autumn. We wanted to go on a trip to Koblenz but there werent any boats, although there were a few doing a round trips from one end of Cologne to the other. The zoo was fantastic, also a trip across the Rhine in a cable car should be added to the itinerary. The cathedral is amazing and if you can stand heights, a trip up to the top of the cathedral tower is worth the climb although the same spiral staircase gives access up and down, so it can get crowded. Cologne is a shopaholics dream, but can be quite expensive. Loads of cafe's, bars and restaurants. We didn't have a bad meal whilst we were there.
When to go
I have been to Cologne in the summer and winter. The Christmas market is a fantastic event and shouldn't be missed. Summertime in Cologne is equally good, lots to do and a lot going on around the river.
Getting there
We flew to Cologne/Bonn airport. It couldn't be easier to get into the centre of Cologne. There are trains every 20 minutes from the airport. The trip takes about 20 minutes.

“Ideal Location”

Very nice Hotel with very welcoming staff. The front desk took time in explaining the area to us which was a god send when we started exploring. The breakfast Buffet was great with plenty on offer. The FREE mini bar, water and fruit juice, in your room is a nice gesture also. Cologne Cathedral was amazing and what ever you do pay the €3.00 and climb to the top, by 533 steps, the views are fantastic. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from all serving good quality food. Also, if you have time, take a train to Bonn, 15 minute, and explore another beautiful city. All in all, a great City and you should have a great time. The only down side was the Smoking in the Bars and some places in the Hotel.

Events and shows
Early March is the festival, 5 Days, so avoid if you like peace and quite.

“Near train station”

The location of the hotel is convenient for travel by train. The accommodations are very average. There is no air conditioning. Our room was extremely hot. We found it difficult to sleep. The room was clean. The breakfast was very good. This would be a good 3 star hotel, not 4 star.

“Great Hotel”

At first the room that the receptionist gave us was BAD - as there was construction going on just outside the window. But we requested a different room and had to wait an hour before it was changed for us. The best thing was that we were allowed to stay until evening at no extra cost as our train was in the evening. Service was excellent, the staff wonderful.

Traveller's tip
There is a Michlen Star restaurant in a Water Tower - the best food I have ever tasted in 23 countries - You MUST have dinner in the Water Tower Restaurant!!!

“Ideal for a night, especially if arriving by train”

The hotel was across the road from the main train station and close to the centre of town. This made it ideal for a quick stay over with a morning's sight seeing. Friendly staff and pleasant decor. Only fault was the noisy air conditioning unit outside, which meant we kept windows shut.

“Grand City Hotel Köln Zentrum : à deux pas de la cathédrale”

Hôtel moderne et bien entretenu, dans une rue calme à deux pas de la cathédrale en traversant la gare ferroviaire. Petit déjeuner-buffet copieux et de bonne qualité. Chambres spatieuses. Eviter les chambres côté gare où l'on entend un peu les annonces et les trains.

Area recommendations
Flâner sur les bords du Rhin et prendre le téléphérique qui enjambe le fleuve : jolie vue garantie.
