“A good hotel in the middel of Old Cologne”

A very nice hotel with friendly staff. The swimming pool was great. I did'nt try their breakfast as I found a bit expensive.

“A Room with a Pool...and a Shower”

This hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the central area of Cologne, very near the river. Its most impressive features were the oversized swimming pool and sauna. Lobby and common areas are also very nice. Indoor garage parking was convenient, secure, and affordable. Hotel staff are very accommodating, and the rooms are nice. The only thing that we found odd was that the shower stall was located in the main sleeping area, just a few feet from one of the beds. This made for a lot of laughter, but could be awkward for some guests. Thankfully, there is a separate water closet.

“Very clean, nice service”

This hotel was great...very modern and very clean. Hotel room was small but fine for two people. The staff was accomodating and friendly. It's enough off the beaten path that you're not surrounded by tourists, but an easy walk to the excitement of Koln.

“Good city break hotel”

Nice clean hotel with friendly staff in a good location. Waiking distance to attractions.

“Very impressed”

Spent 3 nights on romantic break. Very impressed overall with quality. The sauna and pool were very welcome. Staff were helpful, polite and professional. No problems at all. Would definitely stay here again. Bit of a walk to the Dom for those with impediments, but otherwise, a reasonable stroll. Very close to the Christmas markets, but found them expensive compared to the high street department stores. Hotel is definitely to be recommended.

“Good Hotel”

This is a good hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The hotel room I stayed in was in an annexe next to the hotel and did involve a 2 storey climb with no lift. The room itself was well equipped, there was a kitchenette and a double bed (single duvets though). Room was clean, modern and comfortable. Internet access available wirelessly so good for the busuness traveller. walking distance to the man squares and restaurants.

“Hotel Lyskirchen. On the banks of the Rhine down a side street in Cologne”

Remember this is a basic 4 star hotel and there was a discounted rate when I booked and for the money it was good value.Located not in the centre of Cologne but within 10 to 15 minutes maximum walk to the Cathedral (turn right out of hotel and walk along the Rhine embankment and look for the spires of the cathedral is the best way to get to the centre of town). On embankment close to Hotel is Chocolate Museum & Olympic Sports Museum are worth a visit. Breakfast in hotel expensive and wouldn't recommend it for every day of your trip.Disappointed with cooked breakfast which was warmed up particularly scrambled egg. Biggest disappointment particularly for avid sports fans, no English channels on TV in rooms when we visited.Did make enquiries about buying channels but was told not available due to reception problems. If you don't like feathered pillows make sure you ask for an alternative. Overall hotel is fine, clean and quiet and for the same price would stay again. Didn't come into contact with hotel staff much but were pleasant and helpful when we did. As for Cologne, you need a reason to visit. We went for a football match and for the Christmas markets which were crowded and expensive but certaintly put you in the Christmas mood.Cathedral definately worth a visit.

“Extremely noisy”

The hotel itself was good. Unfortunately there was constant noise from a building site nearby. Furthermore the traffic noise was very intrusive and occured throughout the night. Sadly this would mean I would not stay at the hotel again.
