Guels Holidays from £177

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.

Lovely, quiet location right by the river. Local shops are a 5 mins walk away. Nice breakfast set-up where you can sit inside, or outside on a lovely balcony with a few tables.

Vintage room vibes. Breakfast was good with varied options. Nice staff.

This hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the train station and cathedral. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area too. The room we had was for three. It was very small but what more do you need? The bathroom was small too and the shower didn’t drain but we told them and they said they would send someone in to look. There is also a very small elevator which was useful since we were on the fourth floor. The staff was very accommodating as well. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

Good breakfast but bathroom moldy.
