Cologne - fun on the Rhone (lol)
Sorry about the title...I couldn’t resist it! This was our 2nd hotel of our 10 hotel Euro road-trip. The hotel is opposite the exhibition centre and I am sure it is packed during those times so I’m glad that we weren’t there then! The room was quite small overlooking the inner courtyard so was quiet although considering the lack of occupancy, they could have given us a room looking over the back of the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located for the city via and only takes 10 minutes to get to. The city offers a multitude of attractions, not least the Rhone tour. The hotel offers a really wonderful spa and chillout area plus the hyper invigorating shaved ice to pour over your head after the inferno of the sauna!! There is also a choice of shower units with different spouts and temperatures, but I have found that this is pretty standard with high-quality German hotels. They really do this very well and as long as you don’t mind the nakedness, it’s a lot of fun! The breakfast that was included was very tasty but the room was extremely stuffy. To be honest we did have a good laugh at the ridiculous varieties of food that some of the Oriental guests insisted on piling onto their plates at the same time, but hey, each to their own! Avoid the omelettes made by the work-experience lad...dreadful! When we return to Koln, I will definitely check their rates first. PS: The internet cost is a downright rip-off but strangely enough they offer 3 channels of 24hr non-stop porn for free!!!
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Pre-book your Rhone cruise with Expedia as it was cheaper but be prepared for a very long queue. The restaurants situated around the riverboats all offer fantastic menus. You must try the traditional Saxe Fleischer with saukraut and fried potatoes or the amazing Schweinsaxe with pickled cabbage and creamed potatoes..plus a stein of Weiss bier!! There is so much to see, to do, to eat and to drink that we will definitely return!

16 night stay
As an English speaking American in a large German city, the staff at the Dorint went above and beyond to assist with all our needs. All of the desk staff spoke English remarkably well, as well as the wait staff in the restaurants. The pool/spa area is super. Just one comment for families... many of the young men who used the spa, did so au naturel, as is common (I’m told) in Germany. (I saw no women do the same.) I actually saw very few children at the hotel during our stay. The restaurant food was excellent, although a little pricy.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
The incredible tram system runs right outside the front door of the hotel. Using this system to get around the city cost us around 6 euros a day. It’s a little confusing at first, but the staff will help you learn the ropes.
