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.

We've stayed at the Burns before, but this visit to The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Cologne was truly exceptional.

Staying at this hotel was a great way to explore Cologne. The price was fair, the location was excellent—just steps from trams and buses—and the staff provided very friendly service. One thing to note: there’s no air conditioning in the rooms, but it didn’t affect our comfort at all. If you prefer sleeping with the window open, ask for a room facing the back side of the building, as the front-facing ones can be noisy due to street traffic. Cologne is a big city with over a million residents, so things are lively even on Sundays! Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it.

Our stay at Kaiser Am Wiener Platz was disappointing overall. We waited a full 45 minutes for check-in despite being told it would only take 15 minutes—this was misleading and frustrating. The staff member who finally arrived claimed she didn’t know our arrival time, which simply isn’t believable. Breakfast was underwhelming—very basic with only a few bread rolls available, and no coffee left by the time we got there. Not even a simple apology was offered. The rooms themselves were spacious and clean, but lacked air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable during warmer hours. The keycard is ridiculously large and doesn’t fit in any small bag or purse. The hotel feels outdated, and the service was notably unfriendly. While the location is decent, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. I won’t be returning, and I’d hesitate recommending this place to others.
