Astor & Aparthotel
Trust me, this is the place to stay. As someone who’s picky about hotels, I was initially skeptical about the incredibly low rate—thought it might be too good to be true. But from the moment we arrived, every single detail exceeded expectations. The staff were professional yet genuinely warm; we ran into different team members throughout our day and evening, each one greeting us with a smile and checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The rooms were immaculately clean—really, truly spotless—and the beds were so comfortable we slept like babies. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just steps from the subway, making exploring Cologne effortless. If I had to find a tiny flaw, it’s the shower setup—the folding glass door over the tub feels a bit precarious when stepping in and out, especially if you’re not used to European designs. But honestly, that’s a minuscule downside in an otherwise flawless experience. This hotel checked every box and then some. I’d book it again in a heartbeat without even browsing another property.
Hotel am Augustinerplatz
Located just steps away from a lively and vibrant area, Hotel am Augustinerplatz offers great convenience for exploring Cologne. The price is fair for the location, making it an excellent choice for a short stay of one or two nights. While the room is modest in terms of amenities—basic furnishings with limited facilities—it’s clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Ideal for travelers who prioritize location over luxury, this hotel delivers exactly what you’d expect: a quiet, reliable base in the heart of the city. If you're looking for a no-frills place to rest after a day of sightseeing, this is a solid pick. Definitely worth considering if you're on a budget and want to be close to everything.
Mauritius Hotel & Therme
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the subway and surrounded by a peaceful, scenic area. I keep coming back because it just feels like a home away from home. The ambiance is calming, the staff are friendly, and everything about this place feels thoughtfully designed. It's not just a hotel; it's an experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a little bit of luxury without the hassle. Definitely planning to return.
A-Partment • Köln- Mediapark
This apartment was an absolute disaster—definitely not worth even one star. The photos online bear no resemblance to the actual condition of the unit. I trusted the platform despite seeing numerous negative reviews, and regret it deeply. From the moment we entered, there was a strong, unpleasant odor, and the entire floor was sticky and gross. My wife only sat on the edge of the bed to change her shoes when it collapsed under her weight. After leaving for a meeting, we returned to find an overwhelming chlorine smell. A highly aggressive drain cleaner was left on the counter, and the sink contained a foul-smelling sludge—clearly someone had been inside while we were away trying to unclog the drain. I tried repeatedly to contact the landlord with zero response. With no other options available, we ended up laying the mattresses directly on the floor to sleep, but only with windows open and the kitchen door shut to avoid health risks. The kitchen was unusable: the sink didn’t drain, the kettle and microwave were broken, there was no pot for boiling water, and the utensils were filthy and poorly maintained. Even after two days of staying, nothing was fixed. This place felt like a neglected, stinking, rundown mess—something I’ve never experienced before. To date, the landlord has still not responded to any of my messages. Avoid this apartment at all costs.
MesseHotel Köln-Deutz
I had to change my flight and needed to cancel one night's stay, and the platform handled the refund process smoothly—only 10% was deducted by the hotel, while the rest was fully refunded through them. While the hotel’s refund policy is a bit rigid, I can’t complain overall. The room was clean, quiet, and beautifully located with amazing views from the window. It’s just a short walk to both the Cologne Exhibition Centre and Deutz Train Station, making it super convenient for travel. The area feels peaceful and well-kept, perfect for a relaxing stay. Even though breakfast wasn’t anything special, everything else made up for it. Great value, highly recommend for business or leisure travelers.
Ibis Koeln Centrum
Staying at Ibis Koeln Centrum was a perfect choice for us since we wanted to be right in the heart of Cologne. The hotel’s location is ideal—just a short walk from major attractions and a quick subway ride away from everything else. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, with both male and female team members offering warm, professional service. Their positive attitude made our check-in and check-out smooth and pleasant. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with all the essentials we needed. It’s a great value for money option, and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cologne.
Cerano City Hotel Köln am Dom
This hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the Cologne Cathedral, making it ideal for exploring the city center on foot. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. We appreciated the option to park nearby with a small additional fee, which was worth it for the convenience. Clean rooms, great location, and excellent service all added up to a flawless experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cologne.
TheClouth
The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the subway and surrounded by great local spots. The room standard is excellent, with clean, modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. I didn’t receive my access code in advance, but the staff were incredibly helpful and guided me through check-in manually—no stress at all. Once set up, everything worked smoothly via the app, making the entire process seamless. It’s clear the hotel invests in user-friendly tech and hospitality. A top-notch experience overall, and I’d definitely stay here again.
Mauritius Komfort Hotel in der Altstadt
I arrived at the hotel much earlier than my check-in time—around 8:30 AM—but was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed and checked in right away, no hassle at all. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering assistance with luggage and a refreshing drink. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with spotless rooms and a cozy vibe that made me feel right at home. Located in the heart of Cologne’s old town, the hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring nearby attractions—just a short walk or quick subway ride away. The cleanliness, service, and overall comfort made this stay unforgettable. If you're looking for a quiet, well-located base in Cologne with excellent value, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back.
Hotel Windsor
Stayed at Hotel Windsor in Cologne on June 2nd, booked a spacious family room for four. The room was generously sized, spotless, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for our group. The elevator is compact and the stairs are steep, but honestly, it didn’t bother us at all. Dinner recommendations were spot-on—flavorful, well-prepared, and absolutely worth trying. The only minor hiccup was locating parking upon arrival: the garage is just half a block away, but once you find it, access is smooth and straightforward. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Cologne—it’s a standout choice!
Numa Cologne Ehrenfeld
Staying at Numa Cologne Ehrenfeld was a delightful surprise. The view from the window is absolutely beautiful—lush greenery and charming streetscape stretching out right before your eyes, creating a peaceful retreat amidst the city. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring downtown Cologne, with public transit just a few minutes away. The hotel itself is spotless, well-maintained, and staff are genuinely welcoming. With such a great location, excellent views, and a warm atmosphere, this place offers fantastic value. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Cologne.
Opera Hotel Köln
Staying at Opera Hotel Köln was a fantastic experience, especially given its unbeatable location just a 10-minute walk from the train station—perfect for travelers on the move. The room is compact but well-designed, with a bed that’s neither too soft nor too firm—ideal for a good night’s sleep. Cleanliness is top-notch; every corner felt spotless and freshly maintained, which really added to the comfort. Despite its size, the hotel delivers great value for money and offers a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cologne—convenient, clean, and thoughtfully run.
