Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse
Staying at Mercure Hotel Koeln Belfortstrasse was a truly enjoyable experience. The on-site dining options were excellent—especially the breakfast, which offered a great variety and delicious quality. The staff went above and beyond with their warm and attentive service, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Despite being located in a bustling area, the hotel itself felt peaceful and quiet, offering a nice retreat from the city’s noise—a real 'calm in the chaos.' The only minor downside is that getting around requires a short taxi ride from the front door, as public transport access isn’t the most convenient nearby. But honestly, everything else more than makes up for it. With such a welcoming atmosphere, clean rooms, and fantastic value, this place is highly recommended. A little lower price would have made it perfect!

My business trip to Cologne was a great experience overall, and staying at The New Yorker Hotel Köln-Messe made it even better. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just a short 20-minute subway ride from the exhibition center, making commuting seamless both ways. I appreciated the on-site gym, which, while not large, had everything I needed for a solid workout. I used it almost every morning before heading out, and it really helped me stay energized throughout the day. Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, well-prepared, and varied, with excellent local breads and jams that paired perfectly with my coffee. Pricing is surprisingly reasonable for Europe, offering great value without compromising comfort or service. This hotel delivers a perfect balance of convenience, quality, and affordability—definitely my go-to choice for future trips to Cologne.

The breakfast buffet was fantastic—wide variety, fresh ingredients, and plenty of local treats. Staff were friendly, helpful, and made check-in feel welcoming.

I was absolutely thrilled—this stay exceeded all my expectations! I booked a single room for attending meetings at the convention center, and from the moment I arrived, everything felt just right. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and I appreciated the complimentary fruits in the lobby. My compact room was surprisingly spacious and perfectly organized—plenty of room for all my belongings, which made packing and unpacking a breeze. The management clearly understands what travelers need. The bathroom is thoughtfully designed, with excellent shower water pressure that’s easy to adjust. I didn’t have breakfast, so I can’t speak to the taste, but the dining area is large and well-lit, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I’ll be sharing real footage of my experience on my YouTube channel, “the W by LJ”—because seeing it is believing. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for double rooms, which are just as spacious and comfortable. A top-tier choice for both business and leisure travelers.

There are plenty of dining options nearby, making it easy to enjoy local cuisine without going far. I especially appreciated the free morning coffee and pastry, a nice little touch that made the stay even better. The only minor downside was discovering after check-in that there’s a 50% discount at a partnered parking garage—this info should definitely be highlighted on the website to avoid confusion. Overall, the hotel offers great value, excellent service, and a central spot perfect for exploring the city.
The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
We've stayed at the Burns before, but this visit to The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Cologne was truly exceptional. Our biggest highlight was meeting Marcel Deux at reception—he was incredibly friendly, witty, and highly professional. When we expressed dissatisfaction with our Junior Suite 704, he immediately arranged a room change to Suite 92 with zero hassle. His genuine willingness to help made a lasting impression. The hotel’s central location is perfect for exploring the city—just a short walk to the train station and plenty of great dining options nearby.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The only thing I’d suggest improving is the lack of breakfast included. As a business traveler who’s often on the go, having a quick morning meal available would save valuable time. That said, the hotel still offers outstanding value and comfort. I’d definitely consider staying here again on future trips.
Eden Hotel Früh am Dom
This hotel is absolutely flawless—location couldn’t be better, just a short walk from Cologne Cathedral and surrounded by great local vibes. Even though the room’s air conditioning can’t be adjusted, the space still felt incredibly comfortable thanks to the included fan, extra lighting, and well-sized furniture. What really stands out is the collaboration with Früh Beer—there’s a themed gift shop on the ground floor, beer-themed decor throughout the rooms, and right next door is a cozy local pub. It’s such a fun, authentic touch that makes the stay feel more immersive. The neighborhood is lively, convenient, and full of charm. If you’re looking for a unique, memorable experience in Cologne, this is the perfect place to stay.
