Hotels in Cologne

"Location perfect in the heart of Cologne. Doorlock didn’t work at first. Water boiler was full of bubbles when boiling water. WiFi password wasn’t communicated."

"This hotel was the perfect base for exploring Cologne and made for a relaxing stay with its modern and quiet location. This hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk to the major attractions in Cologne and many good restaurants. It is not far from the Cologne Cathedral, Hay Market and Old Market and the hotel is a stone's throw to the chocolate museum. The room was nicely appointed and very trendy. It had a mini fridge, coffee/tea station with a variety of tea, complimentary sparkling water, a couple of chairs, a long counter for the sink/desk and a large TV. There is enough lighting for the room and plenty of counter space for our things but we only had an outlet on one side of the bed. The shower was very nice with good water pressure and individual bath products for body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We aren't sold on the scent but felt very clean afterwards. There is a window separating the bathroom from the rest of the room that is painted over but one of the previous guests had made a peephole which was not an issue for us. Staff were friendly and helpful at this hotel. Check in was smooth and they gave us some chocolate and three cards. They did not explain the cards to us but it turns out they can get a complimentary coffee, beer, wine or soft drink at the bar - we did not realize this until the next day but they did allow us to take some fritz cola for the road. The breakfast was excellent. Lots of little unexpected surprises like the herb cream cheese for bread, fresh egg salad, and wild garlic cheese. They had a good selection of hot items with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, meatballs, hash browns, mushrooms and some vegetable balls. The cold items were good too with a variety of deli meats, cheeses, a muesli/yogurt bowl station. They had some juices, loose leaf teas and coffee machines. We didn't book for amenities but we were surprised with what the hotel offered. They have a rooftop terrace which gives a pretty good view of the surrounding area, a lobby bar where you can relax, a fitness room and a sauna. They also have a welcome station that they stock with fresh fruit, pastries and flavoured water that you can drop in at any time. The art side of the hotel was interesting with a nice open layout in the lobby area that let in lots of lighting and some nice decor throughout the hotel. The hotel has a safe and secure underground parking garage that cost 25 euros for the night when we stayed. Only issue we had with the garage is that it is a bit tight down there and it was tricky to get out because someone chose to park in the area where cars can turnaround. This is a good hotel in a good area and we felt the price was good for our budget when we stayed in Cologne."

"Overall a great hotel.room size was good.location was excellent.breakfast was probably one of the best we have experienced in Europe. One downside was the disappointing so called fitness suite..im sorry to say a treadmill,a couple of exercise bikes & a multigym doesnt really add up to a suite.. Also the changing rooms need addressing as there was only 2 booths to get changed in.. Still 9/10 for the Martim Hotel Koln.."

"Excellent location. Formerly an Interconti Hotel 5 stars. Therefore the rooms are very spacious and luxurious but unfortunately with many traces of use. A makeover is therefore certainly in order. Bathroom with bath and separate shower was fine. Parking right next to the hotel and Holmes Spa in the building. Everything at extra cost. Service generally friendly and helpful. Breakfast, if not booked in advance for 32.00 euros is too expensive. The hotel is more modern than the somewhat further away Hotel Maritim."

"It's an easy 5-8 minute walk from the rear exit of Cologne Central Station. Cologne Cathedral and the Ludwig Museum are just a 10-minute stroll away, perfect for conveniently and affordably viewing Picasso's masterpieces. The location is excellent. The rooms are spacious and bright, and housekeeping kept them notably clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast spread was quite generous and varied. Outside of major exhibition periods, it truly offers unbeatable value for money. Highly recommended!"

"We were here for a city break, the area is up and coming with plenty of building work going on but not disruptive. It's next to the smaller train station but has direct access to the airport, the main arena is nearby as well as the conference center. Hotel itself was clean and well designed, we had a small kitchenette in the room which was a bonus."

"Great location. About 10 mins walk from the central station and 5 mins away from the cathedral. Rooms were very spacious and modern for European standards. A kettle and mini fridge were provided. Loved their water pressure in their showers."

"My favourite hotel in the whole of my Europe Trip thus far… As expected of a Marriot-branded hotel, the rooms we stayed in are spotlessly clean. Hotel provides pretty good detox water in the lobby. However though, it’s not quite conveniently located with a 10+ minutes walk from the train station (unlike what was stated in its listing) and not centrally located near cologne’s main attractions."

"Front desk could be a little more friendly. Bathroom very small and need to take shower in very small bath not nice would prefer a normal shower. It is so small I dont know how a german can fit into the bath / shower???all the rest was good and the breakfast is very good buffet."

"The mattress was too hard and the guests next door were too loud."
