City Hotel Köln - Cologne

Bathroom and shower was extremely small, otherwise good value for money. The hotel does not really have any public areas - just the breakfast room.

The hotel was very nice and cozy. the receptionist very helpful and efficient. i stayed in the small apartment just across the street and it was very comfortable although a bit small

The hotel has no lift

Dobbel room with breakfast. For the price very well. Quiet hotel in walking distance from the town center.

Hotel is really good. It was my third time in Koln and my first time in this hotel. Excellent position, near the main places of interest. It is 10 minutes far from the Dome on foot. Area is really good. Excellent staff. Our room had some troubles with shower and hot water but they have offered us to change room. They are really nice with us during all days we have been in the city. Congratulation to the staff. So i reccomend this hotel and when I'll come back in Koln certainly I'll go again in City Hotel Koln. Alessandro Dente

Clean, comfortable no-frills hotel. Excellent location in a quiet street close to the Neumarkt and tram routes. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast included delicious fresh rolls and perfectly cooked eggs, and it was nice having free wi-fi. On the last night of my stay I discovered that the walls are thin, as I could hear the TV in the next-door room - when it got late, I had to ask my neighbour to turn it down. That was my only reservation about this hotel.

The hotel is very quiet even though it's located in the city center, just 400m away from the nearest underground station (Neumarkt). Very comfortable room, bright and big. The bathroom had a tub. The staff was very nice, we spoke in english. Delicious breakfast with a good selection of food. The parking lot is not surveilled, and it's not free.

Good clean hotel, with reasonably helpful staff. Located a slightly awkward distance from city centre, too close to feel that taking metro is worthwhile, but a fair walk. No airconditioning, which was a slight issue as we stayed during a heatwave; however, a quiet street so having window open wasn´t a big issue.

Nice, little hotel near the city center 10 minutes walk to the Koeln Dome. Good welcoming staff.

We have been to Cologne 3 times. But we stayed in this Hotel the first time. The staff was friendly, the accommodation was perfect. The room was clean and it was very quiet. We like such small and comfortable hotels in Germany. The hotel is located not far from the Dom, 20 min. walk to the rail-way-station Hauptbahnhof. If we come to Cologne next year, we shall stay at this hotel.

This was a very austere hotel. Did not have wifi in rooms, as suggested by ad. Otherwise, nothing wrong with it.

The hotel is not far from the train station, if you like to walk it takes 15 - 20 min and there are shops and churches all the way down to the hotel to keep you busy. The staff is nice and competent however they only speak few English but I managed with a mix of German, English and gestures. There is no lift in the hotel, so for those who carry heavy bags it may be a problem if your room is on the third floor as mine was, but since I was there only for a night I only had a small bag so it was ok. My room was clean and had a correct size for one person but I could hear the TV of my neighbour, doors opening and closing, shower... The breakfast was ok and the lady who takes care of it was really obliging.

Very friendly and helpful staff and a good standard of accomodation especially considering the low prices.

Pequeño hotel familiar muy bien ubicado cerca de la plaza y metro Neumarkt,en un buen barrio.No tiene ascensor.Habitaciones espaciosas y comodas. Comedor agradable, Desayuno incluido muy bueno. Ambiente grato.

The Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was good, close to many attractions.

THE BAIN IS TO SMALL. THE LOCATION IS IN ONE STREET VERY QUITE AND VERY NEAR TO CENTRE

The rooms are very new and comfortable. More spacious bathrooms and a lift would increase the value of this property fivefold. The breakfast was simple yet delicious!

Fairly basic hotel, staff friendly but didn't speak English. Went for the xmas markets and found this to be a good location for visiting them (we walked from railway station though there is a tram). If you go for the xmas markets the cathedral one has loads of diffent food to buy and the most unusual one is the one on the boat

The room was very small and cold. The shared bath was with 2 doors in 2 rooms so u must keep the door closed if u don't wanna someone get in while u r sleeping or while u r away.

Excellent value hotel. Friendly, welcoming staff. Breakfast was excellent. Location is good for shopping, bars, transport links.All round a fab place to stay

Hello, I had great time on Koln during a week end, and this hotel : perfect welcoming, the youngest girl speaks english very well, very quiet, very clean. 10/10 for me. Emmanuel (from Paris).

Nothing spectacular but a perfectly acceptable hotel convenient for public transport and walking distance to the city center. The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. They have recently re decorated and the hotel is better than the photos

Very small toilets. very small. especially the shower. and i'm a big guy. nice breakfast. they speak good english. very important when traveling to germany. always a problem for me

Everything fine: friendly and helpful people, a nice room and a good breakfast. The inner city is also easily reachable by foot. What needs one more?

I did not get to stay at City Hotel Koln ultimately because after spending TWO HOURS locating the hotel (because the map provided on Venere was REALLY BAD - the hotel was not even on the map!), I was told by the hotel that they were fully booked. Even when I had a confirmed reservation. They did however put me in another hotel which was 5 minutes away. Which was fine but I was very upset about the map on Venere, and the unconfirmed "confirmed room" If you intend to stay there, it is a FIVE MINUTE WALK from Nieumarkt train station (2 stops from Centraal). Look for Laach straat, it is near Commerzbank. When you are in Laach straat, it will lead into Clemmenstraat, where the hotel is. Because I did not stay in the hotel, I have given everything an average rating so as not to spoil its overall rating. But just note that it is not representative of a guest's stay. I just really felt I should give some warning to those who are interested to stay in this hotel Oh by the way I also called the hotel to let them know I was lost but the operator hardly spoke English and gave me the wrong directions. Thus the 2 hour hike

Very nice hotel with clean room. Excellent breakfast and friendly and helpful staff. Make sure you have very good directions if arriving by car as one-way streets and streeet naming conventions in Cologne can be very confusing.

Aug 2007; room (123) clean, quiet, spacious. Rooms differ, so ask. Location superb but hard to find; get good map. Only two-subway stops from Dom. 100 € per night was okay for room we got. Some were less. No elevator; quiet area. Good bar. We are US expats, very experienced and would stay here again.

The friendly and helpful staff created a really welcoming atmosphere, and despite the window and door of the room needing some maintenance, the room itself was bright, spotless and very quiet.

Very nice room, close to Neumarkt. About 20 mins walk to cathedral. Lots of restaurants and places to eat within 10 mins walk. Great place - I'd stay here again without a doubt!

Bathroom very small

If you can know better Cologne with out take public transports this is the best place!!!

Very good hotel, very good breakfast, very good position! We will return!

Clean and comfortable. Very good value.

Les + : propreté, prix, tranquilité pour un centre-ville Les - : pas d'ascenseur, salle de bain exigüe

The staff was kind. I could walk to the central station,or use the underground. It was very convenient. But there was no lift in the Hotel.

Bien situado y comunicado, buena relación calidad precio. Lo peor: no tener ascensor teniendo 3 pisos ni aire acondicionado, aunque no fue necesario en nuestra estancia. No tiene recepción 24 horas. Las dos recepcionistas muy amables, ambas hablaban inglés y una incluso hablaba algo de español.

The staff were great and the breakfast was good but we asked for a room with a full double bed and so we were put across the road in an apartment and this was just okay. It was very sparcelly furnished and equipped.And even though we had a double bed we still had 2 separate duvets which we find is quite a quaint German/ Swiss thing. The area was not the best and it is quite a walk from all the attractions. I cannot comment on what the rooms in the hotel itself are like as we didn't get to see them.

Wanderful staff, nice rooms, good location

We were very happy with this hotel. It was about a five minute walk from the Neumarkt tram/U station which was just a couple of stops from the cathedral area. We also could walk all the way to the cathedral in about 20 minutes. A shopping/cafe district was within walking distance as well. The room was pretty small, but very clean, with nice wood floors and a door that opened to the roof. The bathroom was also very clean and modern and had a tub. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the breakfast both mornings was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

City Hotel Koln is small but intimate hotel. It is on a quiet side street but a pleasant 15 minute walk to the Dom and 5 minutes to the major shopping area, there are many resturants and cafes in the area. But the main plus is the hotel manager, Anneliese, she is so cheerful and helpful we fell in love with the hotel the first day. Breakfast and the rooms are typical European and the bathroom is very modern. Our room was one flight up above the bar/resturant but it never disturbed us. The only negative is there is no elevator. We would definitely stay there again.

We stayed 1 night. I had not anticipated that the hotel did not have a lobby. You enter from the street into a corridor. At a "cashier"-type window located next to a doorway leading to the restaurant you register before being shown to your room up the winding stairway. I didn't see any elevators and managing the stairs with bulky luggage could be problematic. Otherwise, the room was very clean & tidy w/french doors leading out to a rooftop. Breakfast was included consisting of traditional European cold assortment of cerials , cheeses and rolls along with hard boiled eggs.

The Hotel is located at walking distance to the shopping district, and generally to everywhere in town including the railway station and the main Cathedral. Rooms was absolutely as espected, very confortable, quite and clean. Something to underline is the breakfast buffet in the morning, wow. You can really have enough food to be full until dinner time :-) Maybe if I would have to find something to say is about the bathroom, which is a kind of small, but I would strongly raccomend this Hotel anyway.

The staff was extremely helpful. My flight back to Budapest was cancelled, in the hotel there was no free room already for that extra night but they helped me to find another hotel in the city (it was Easter so all hotels were full in Köln). I am very grateful for their help. The hotel is clean and tidy and it is only 2 minutes walk from Neumarkt. Though it is actually in the city center it is still quiet. I can just recommend this hotel to anybody.

The Hotel was very smokey, both in the room and in the meeting area. This is why I rated the cleanliness lower, everything else was okay. Breakfast was included. Location was a few blocks away from metro stop and walking distance to old town.

Citycenter on short walking distance. Room is nice. Bathroom a bit small. Good price/quality relation.

It's a precious address in Colonia, with lovely employees, clean rooms and close to the center. And an excellent relationship between price/quality.

Really lovely cosy hotel, it is only small but staff are really welcoming, rooms are not very big but very clean, bathroom was spotless. Breakfast is cold buffet style with not much variety, however enough to keep you going through the morning. The Cuban bar is really nice, with a nice atmosphere in the evenings. The hotel is in an excellent position only about 300m from the main shopping area of cologne, same distance to the underground. I would recommend this hotel to most travellers, however the hotel does not have a lift and therefore not suitable for those with walking difficulties.

The overall stay was good. The poorest thing was the bath into the room, exactly like the one of an aircraft. The room was so quiet and the service attendants where so charming. Good breakfast (not amazing but good at all). No restaurant avaliable, but coming soon.

The hotel has no lift (elevator) which may be OK for the local traveler with little or no luggage, but not OK for those taking longer trips, thus carrying more luggage. Have no idea how a guest with an obvious physical impediment managed.

We are very satisfied, both with the room and the exellent service. Nice breakfast! The only negative, was the small bathroom!

The service attitude was grate, very kind, helpful, the breakfast was excelent

Realy nice room ! Le petit déjeuné était parfait, l'accueil impecable, la chambre à la déco soignée....

The location of the hotel is marvelous. Easy access to public transportation that will take you everywhere in the city. The hotel room was very large and comfortable the shower is a little tight. The buffet breakfast was more than I expected. The staff goes out of their way to help make your stay in Cologne memorable. The price for this room and this service is very very resonable. The only negitive is there is no elevator(lift). I would tell anyone planing to vist Cologne to stay at the City Hotel Koln. If you do go you will have the pleasure of meeting Ms. Annelise Pfeifer the most helpful person in the city of Cologne. Tell her I said Hello

Stayed two nights. Room clean but bathroom v small. Public area lacked a sitting room. Bar and dining room all in one with a single sofa for easy sitting only. OK for a night or two for sleeping but not for an extended stay as facilities are fairly basic.

Trés bien, parlent anglais, salle de bain très propre et chambres spacieuses.

Nicely decorated room, decent enough breakfast, and friendly staff. It's a bit out of the way, but not too far and all the main hotspots are easily accessible with a bit of walking. No complaints, and we would certainly stay here again.

Dieses Hotel ist nur zu empfehlen! Es sieht besser aus als auf den Fotos (siehe auch www.cityhotelkoeln.de), die Zimmer sind sehr schön und der Frühstücksraum gemütlich. Wir bekamen ein tolles Frühstücksbuffet mit Saft, Kaffee, Tee, Milch, frischen Brötchen und Brot, verschiedenem Aufschnitt und Gurken und Tomaten sowie Müsli und Eiern. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Innenstadt ist innerhalb weniger Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ein super Preis für dieses kleine schöne Hotel!

Staff are very nice and welcoming, don't be offput by the exterior, which looks dingy, once you climb up the stairs it's quite nice. the room was nicely furnished, comfortable, but the sound isolation between the rooms was not ideal. breakfast was nice. location seemed a residential neighborhood away from the river and the old town, but still within walking distance (15-20 mins) of the key tourist sights, including the old town and cathedral.

This hotel is very nice and employee is very helpful. The breakfast is very good. The room is big, clean and new. It's a litte bit difficult to find this hotel since we don't know how to orignize the stree name of Germany, but it's doesn't matter because the German is very warmful and a young girl showed us about the position of this hotel. So it's very good hotel.

This hotel looks much better in real life than in the photos on line. Our room was extremely clean and modern. The hotel is near public transportation and the staff was wonderful. The only downside was that the website said it offered airport transportation, which it doesn't, and it also said that the hotel was air conditioned, which it isn't. But I would definitely stay there again.

A 10 minutos a pie de la estación y de la catedral, junto a una céntrica plaza (Neumarkt). Perfecto para pasar un par de días en la ciudad.

No elevator! Otherwise, nice room, excellent desk staff, great breakfast in the attached bar/restaurant. Close to subway stop, 15 minute walk to the train station, mostly through a pedestrian shopping area.

Todo muy bien, excepto que no tienen aire acondicionado en las habitaciones y durante nuestra estancia tuvimos 40 grados y las noches eran insoportables.El desayuno con embutidos tipicos alemanes y salmon marinado. La recepcion siempre vacia y ni un ruido.El centro a veinte minutos andando.

The hotel is very well located, the rooms are brand new, great hospitality, nice breakfast buffet and the price was more than fair. Great value and highly recommendable hotel.

Have a great time, welcome very friendly and very helpful on information about the area

Bien situado, bastante centrico y en una zona tranquila. Habitaciones sencillas, limpias, suficientes para una estancia corta. Conserjes muy atentos, trato agradable. Buena relacion calidad-precio.

We paid a "Messe" rate which is higher. The standard rate is excellent for the quality. No A/C and no elevator available. Newly renovated.

Nice clean efficient hotel with a very good location.

The hotels restaurant was in a rebuilding, but in spite of the rebuilding the employees did their utmost to make things better.

This is a lovely place to stay. Takes about 15 minutes to walk to the main pub area. Staff really friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Friendly competent staff, the location near the shopping area excellent. Clean, nice room, breakfast OK, could add yoghurt on the list. Could choose this hotel another time too.

Ya he anotado este hotel para mi próxima visita a Colonia.

Cleaned, well located and friendly staff.

First of all this is a NEW hotel! It's been open in, I believe, November 2005, so everything is clean and new. The furniture is more like a 4* hotel, than a 3*. The only weird thing is the entrance door itself, which looks more like an entrance to a 2* hotel. But don't let that discourage you. Inside, it's very good, big rooms, nice furniture and FREE INTERNET ACCESS (but don't forget to take your LAN cable, I don't know if they have them on loan). As I said, it's a very good hotel and the Quality/Price ratio is Excellent+.

A good, clean hotel close to touristy areas. Would stay there again.

A very clean and nice hotel just 2 minutes walk from the city center!

It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel. We have been travelling for 3 months, staying in a wide range of hotels across Europe. This rates amongst the very best. The rooms are clean and well furnished, it's centrally located and has broad band internet access in the rooms. We would certainly recommend this place.

A really nice hotel, well located and familiar.
