NH Collection Köln Mediapark
My stay at this hotel in Cologne was a solid, no-frills choice that delivered on practicality without any major surprises. The location is convenient—just a 5-minute walk to the nearest bus stop—and getting to major attractions like Cologne Cathedral or the old town is straightforward by public transit or taxi. There are small grocery stores and casual eateries nearby, making it easy to grab essentials or a quick bite. The room size is just right for solo travelers, though couples might find it a bit tight. While some furnishings show minor signs of wear, everything was clean and well-maintained. The bedding was comfortable—not too firm, not too soft—and I slept well. The bathroom features good separation between wet and dry areas, with consistent hot water supply. Basic toiletries were provided, so if you have specific skincare needs, bring your own. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient during check-in and check-out, and they offered helpful directions when asked, though there wasn’t any proactive guidance on local recommendations or extra services like luggage storage. Breakfast was a simple buffet with standard items: bread, ham, eggs, coffee, and juice. It’s nothing fancy, but it satisfied hunger and kept things simple. Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly base in Cologne with easy access to transport and city highlights, this hotel hits the mark. It’s ideal for travelers who value functionality over luxury and want a hassle-free place to rest after a day exploring.

The hotel’s ambiance is elegant and peaceful, with well-maintained rooms and a welcoming atmosphere.

This double charge was unexpected and not clearly explained, which was disappointing. Other than that, everything else was top-notch—service, cleanliness, comfort—truly a strong value for the price.

Hotel Imperial
Hotel Imperial in Cologne-Ehrenfeld is a charming little gem with excellent value for money. Despite its compact size, it’s incredibly convenient—just a 15-minute U-Bahn ride (lines 3 and 4) from major attractions like the trade fair grounds and Lanxess Arena, making it a smart alternative to more expensive city-center hotels. The rooms are a bit dated but spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with air conditioning that came in handy during summer visits. Breakfast looked appealing, though at €18 per person, it felt a bit pricey—we’d rather grab something on the go. On the plus side, the hotel offers parking spots for guests at €25 per night, which is steep but totally justified given how hard and costly street parking can be in Ehrenfeld after 9 PM. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely recommend this cozy, well-located hotel.
