Hotel Ahl Meerkatzen ★★★

📍 Mathiasstraße 21, Cologne

"After settling down for sleep, i was awakened by insects crawling on my face! Upon pulling back the sheets, I discovered live insects crawling on the mattress, the pillow and on my person (see attached photo). I informed the staff at the front desk immediately, around 3am, but the resolution provided at the time was wholly inadequate… A new room with a broken bathroom light and no apology."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★

📍 Habsburgerring 9-13, Cologne

"The hotel outside look a bit old but inside the room look very nice the room is big have alot Lots of space. The problem is when I arrive to the hotel around 13.00 the staff in morning shift very unpolite. We when there to put our bag and will go out for sightseeing but the words that she said to me very unpolite way. We know check in time is 15.00 we just want to keep our bag. She said it not check in this yet and she say you want to put your bag here? and I answer her yes that why am here she very unfriendly. She even not check my book. We are going out for sightseeing and come back around 16.30 the receptionist in the afternoon the lady who checking in me very friendly and helpful. After check in the room was nice but in the hotel the provider only 1 bottle of water. I call to receptionist the man pick up my phone I was asking more bottle of water he said hotel set only 1 bottle if you need more you have to pay i was shocked with his answer because in pullman Köln the have complimentary 2 bottles of water but this hotel give only 1 and this hotel no slippers in the room also if compare with pullman Köln I prefer pullman Köln is better. I don't know why this hotel get top 10 in the application of trip.com and Ranked 4th of trip.com."

Limehome Köln Friesenplatz - Digital Access
7.7 (50 reviews)

Limehome Köln Friesenplatz - Digital Access ★★★

📍 Friesenpl. 15, Cologne

"Otherwise, the hotel was fine! Everything was neat. Checking in via the online system was a bit tricky, though. Moreover, they ask for ID again that you have to scan, and apparently the entrance and room number have separate codes. It should be easier if, once the booking is confirmed, we can get the link directly and enter our details, rather than me having to call the hotel and ask how to check in. Maybe I did it wrong, but that was the only downside."

Hilton Cologne
8.8 (490 reviews)

Hilton Cologne ★★★★★

📍 Marzellenstraße 13-17, Cologne

"The room was in a terrible state; there were mysterious, sticky stains on the floor, and the hotel offered no compensation even after I had reported the issue."

Ibis Koeln Centrum
8.4 (46 reviews)

Ibis Koeln Centrum ★★★

📍 Neue Weyerstraße 4, Cologne

"The room was a bit small, but it was fine for a business trip."

"A very well-maintained, comfortable, modern hotel with a spa, which we didn't use. The tram to the city center is just around the corner. Very good breakfast."

V8 Hotel Köln at Motorworld Hotels in Cologne

V8 Hotel Köln at Motorworld

"The best part of the stay was the desk attendants ( Olga and Constance). They did everything they could to make the stay the best it could be.  Overall the room was way overpriced for what it offered. The room was lacking many of the standard amenities that other hotels offer. Even to the point you have to request room cleaning and hope to get it. We stayed 10 days and never received a room cleaning although we requested it."

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection Hotels in Cologne

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection

"This hotel's Cologne Cathedral view is absolutely breathtaking, but what was equally impressive were the location, service, and cleanliness. When I first arrived from the train station, I foolishly didn't look up the route properly and ended up dragging my heavy luggage up and down stairs, when I could have avoided them by taking a different path. Despite the difficult journey to the hotel, the staff greeted us so warmly and genuinely wished my sister a happy birthday that all my weariness turned into joy. And when we got to the room, we were greeted with such an amazing view and a beautiful room! Thanks to this, we had a wonderful time in Cologne for two days, listening to the bells of Cologne Cathedral. When checking out and heading back to the train station, I followed the staff's directions and found a flat, easy route back. Oh, the only minor inconveniences were the opaque glass in the bathroom and having to shower in the bathtub."

Best Western Plus Hotel Koeln City Hotels in Cologne

Best Western Plus Hotel Koeln City

"The hotel is nice and has parking for a fee. It is not far from the city center, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to eat Chinese food. It is far from the cathedral and shopping street, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk."

Hotel am Augustinerplatz Hotels in Cologne

Hotel am Augustinerplatz

"Absolutely Not a 4-Star Hotel – Avoid This Place! This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. It absolutely does not deserve 4 stars — I’d give it half star, maybe 1 at best. 1- Reception was a disaster. I waited over an hour because they couldn’t find my reservation. No apology, no compensation — just pure incompetence. 2-I paid €100 extra to upgrade from a tiny single bed to a double bed — only to find it was just two singles pushed together. Completely unacceptable for the price. 3-Reception closes at night. No one to assist, and there was no phone number provided in the room for help or room service. Total lack of basic hotel service. 4-The room had no amenities. No tea, no coffee, not even a kettle. The bathroom was cramped, and room service doesn’t even exist. 5-The swimming pool? It’s not in the building — it’s in another one nearby. Misleading and inconvenient. This place is a joke compared to what it advertises. Don’t waste your money. Don’t come here. There are far better options nearby"

B&B HOTEL Köln-City Hotels in Cologne

B&B HOTEL Köln-City

"The best thing about this hotel is how kind all the front desk staff are. They were very friendly, and even though I checked in late at night, they greeted me with a smile and even provided a map and gave me detailed information about nearby tourist spots. I went to a cafe across from the hotel that they recommended I visit in the morning, and it was fantastic. The room was clean and the shower had hot water, which was great. The only downside is that the shower curtain was a bit short, causing a flood after showering…"

Garner Hotel Cologne - Engelbertz by IHG ★★
"Very helpful staff who helps to log my IHG membership. But I couldn't find people to help with room supplies on Saturday evening after 20:30, though it didn't happen on Sunday. The room is cleaner than usual ones in Europe but it's tiny, just enough for one person. The room is rather stuffy but you'll hear the noise throughout the night if you open the window. Kettle unavailable in the room.  "

Pullman Cologne ★★★★
"You would expect more from a trusted international brand like Pullman and as an Accor member, unfortunately the service was truly disappointing! Chose the brand despite the location being some distance away from Hbf. The hotel check-in reception spoilt our experience - cut us off extremely rudely when we tried to check in and said she can only deal with check outs at that time. There were no queue and no crowd at that moment and she refused to process any administration. WHope Pullman can step up the customer service experience in future."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★
"The room is very big and clean. Very comfortable bed to have a good night sleep. However, only one bottle of water is provided for each check in (though we stayed for two nights). So had to purchase expensive water at the lobby."

Limehome Köln Friesenplatz - Digital Access ★★★
"Great location, a 25-minute walk from the train station. It's quiet, you can't hear your neighbors, and contactless check-in is very convenient. Easy to find. Close to the metro and shops. Across the street, there's a fantastic shawarma place with huge portions."

Hilton Cologne ★★★★★
"They don’t even provide free water or a kettle. They also make you pay 50 euros upfront, which is annoying, since it could simply be charged at checkout, as is normal if you consume anything from the minibar."

Ibis Koeln Centrum ★★★
"Location was good, everything was close by or within an ok walking distance, rooms are very small and beds are not brilliant feels like a cheap mattress with a topper chucked on top could feel where previous people had slept with the dents in the mattress, shower n toilet area very small but to be fair it was ok for the few nights we was there, few black hairs on the bathroom floor if i was to be picky but overall not a bad place"
