Cologne Holidays from £390

Résidence de Diane was a charming and cozy place to stay. The gardens were beautiful and gave us tropical vibes. Raphael at the front desk was super friendly and apologetic about not being able to put our large family in adjacent suites as requested. One of our rooms had to be switched and they could only give us the largest suite which turned out to be an upgrade, so we liked it. It had two bedrooms, a spacious living room, full kitchen, bathroom, laundry room (washer/dryer), 3 TVs, sunny deck with a table, chairs, and sunbrella, plus drying racks, perfect for our needs. The second suite was smaller but very cozy, townhouse-style with a mezzanine and its own little patio. We loved the AC as it was very hot, the natural light, nice breakfast buffet, friendly housekeeping, cool gym, and pool area with loungers. It’s close to a bus stop and walking distance to Lidl and nice dining options. A few things could be improved: the large suite was echoey and a bit bare (a rug would help!), the kitchen lacked basics like dish soap, sponge, paper towels, and cooking tools like spatulas or cooking spoons. Only one dishwasher pod and one dishcloth were provided. In-room coffee pods weren’t great and kinda hard to use. No pool towels, and the pool isn’t super kid-friendly, there’s no shallow end, and the deck could use some TLC. A playground on the premises would’ve been a great addition for families. Still, we enjoyed our stay and would happily return again!

The location was perfect, accessible and full of character- shops and restaurants nearby as well as a quick walk to the Capitol area and in the front yard of St. S cathedral- beds were very comfortable and the towels soft and thick!

The room was lovely. Everything you need was there -- shampoo, conditioner, soap, a kettle, tea, coffee . . . I would have liked to have hotter water in the shower, with more water pressure. I didn't eat in the restaurant, but was happy to see it was open 24 hours.

Very confusing to get to rooms. If you take the wrong elevator you end up on disused meeting rooms. But parking was free and very convenient.

Location of the hotel is excellent. The staff is absolutely amazing . Ready to help with bags offering coffee etc . Parking near the hotel is not so easy. Would not recommend the breakfast.
