Top Cologne Hotel Reviews

CityClass Hotel am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and updated hotel in a great location, exactly as hoped."

Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"Very tidy hotel with friendly and helpful staff."

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

8/10 Good

"Hotel was in a great location and was very clean. Staff were very friendly and the hotel was in wonderful . I only gave it a 4 because the room was pretty stuffy even though we turned the air all the way down it didn't seem to get very coo and we are hot natured . Otherwise everything was perfect!"

Maritim Hotel Köln

8/10 Good

"The room was fabulous and parking was fairly easy. Elevators took a while and a lot of places closed, including the pool."

CityClass Hotel Alter Markt

10/10 Excellent

"This location is perfect for exploring Cologne. We could not have been happier with our choice."

Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom

8/10 Good

"We dropped off our luggage early. Our rooms were not ready, but of course we did not expect them to be because it wasn't 3:00 pm yet. We went out and came back to the hotel around 3:30. Neither room was ready. Hmmm. The kind man at the front/concierge desk offered us drink vouchers for the wait and promised the rooms would be ready in 15-20 minutes. Okay. We went away and came back about an hour later. Rooms STILL not ready, but the front desk said they would be ready in about 5 min. When we finally did get into our rooms, our luggage, which was supposed to be waiting for us, was not there and we had to call the front desk to ask for it. Our room had robes but no slippers; oddly, our traveling companions' room did have slippers. The rooms were lovely and quiet but the shower sprayed water everywhere. Bar service was wonderful. I'd probably stay here again but honestly was annoyed that our rooms were not ready for over 1.5 hours past check-in time."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific hotel and an amazing staff."

ibis budget Köln Messe

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great budget hotel, super convenient location for an event."

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, location fine, parking easy. Decent bar area. Only criticism is the self check in desk is a bit inefficient. Had two staff who could have done the check in, in seconds, stood there watching us fumble around. Self check in should exist for when staff aren’t around (late arrivals) or away from the mann check in desk to make more “slots available” during peak times. Having 3 computers and 2 staff telling people how to use the computers and not able to check you in on their own computer is just silly. We also had to queue to check out to get parking validated, which seems like something a computer system you had to use to pay for parking could have done during check in… didn’t ruin the stay but several of our party commented on how woefully inefficient the existing process is."
