Stayed in hotel for one night during a weekend of Christmas Market exploring in Cologne…read more Hotel is a little bit hard to find and is located in a quite residential area. Parking was also confusing as there are no signs pointing you in the right direction. It looks like they revamped an old apartment building to create the hotel. Room was small but comfortable and bathroom was tastefully done. We even had a balcony which was nice. Hotel is about 15-20 minute drive to the center so I would not stay here without a car. Staff was not overly friendly. We asked them about parking near the markets and was pointed to a flyer. Elevator should be replaced, it is very old and kind of creepy (you can only be three people). Overall not bad if passing through especially for the price but I would probably not stay again.

I think this Dorint has the best relation between price, location and quality. As a matter of fact it is just 20 meters from the entrance of the Cologne messe, it is not expensive and it has nice rooms. Breakfast is very good and with a wide choice. There are two restaurants: a buffet one and a more elegant one where you can have good meat. It also has a gym with the essential stuff to exercise.

Just paid my third leisure visit to this hotel, this time for the famous Cologne Christmas Markets…read more Good location near Rudolfplatz but within walking distance of most of the visitor attractions. Rooms comfortable and staff helpful. Beware some rooms experience some street noise. Excellent buffet breakfast.

We booked the room on Hotels.com for 500€ for four nights in a superior room - which means,…read moreapparently, the room is wider, and you get a bottle of water every day, as well as the use of bathrobes and those flat paper (?) slippers. The cleanliness, smell, ventilation, and modernity of the room were all good; it has the nice big German window that opens all the way, and view into a courtyard. Pool, sauna; a small, modern, air-conditioned gym, and Internet was included, though the latter was pretty slow. It was quiet, except when housekeeping and other guests slammed their doors, and even though the building seems to be under construction - there is scaffolding in front and big plastic sheets so you can't see the nice European look of the hotel. Two concerns: The two male staff we encountered, who seemed to be in their 40's or so, were a bit curt and almost reproachful, and one of them had a huge rip in his work shirt, such that when he raised his right arm to yet again explain where the elevator was, we got a view of his whole armpit. Also, thanks to their bad attitude, two young boys they were training adopted the same distanced, couldn't-care-less nonchalance when asked a question. The other issue regards the pool. After less than five minutes in it, I started feeling dizzy. I went back to the room and showered; couldn't get a slight sliminess from my skin; and I still feel dizzy and nauseous now, an hour later. There could be a problem with the balance of chemicals, or maybe it's due to poor ventilation?... They should check that out. And you should think twice about using the pool, and just go for a walk along the Rhine instead. Or head to the Dom at dusk for a free outdoor piano concert. Unforgettable.
