Effelsberg Holidays from £335

Very nice and quiet, friendly staff. Is a bit of a time capsule back to the 90's but not a bad thing!

Good breakfast but bathroom moldy.

Staff location amenities

The hotel is located in a quiet side-street in Cologne, seemingly well away from any shops, bars, restaurants. The largest drawback however was that the hotel only served breakfast, had no lounge or bar area to chill & relax, & so could really only be used for sleeping & breakfast. However, we soon located a very good - reasonably expensive - steakhouse near bye, & a collection of resturarnts about 15 minutes easy stroll away. I was attending a trade fair at the Cologne Messe, which was around 10mins away by cab, circa £16 each way. My wife used the time I was away at the show to walk along the Rhine, into Cologne centre, easy 25mins walk to the Cathedral. Nice hotel, but would not use again because of the dining/bar situation.

Great place, not near regular tourist stuff but accessible enough! The staff was nice and the rooms were spacious. We had a 3 person room and it was perfect! Had parking. Didn’t try the dining options.
