Top University of Cologne Hotel Reviews

a&o Köln Neumarkt

10/10 Excellent

"Good for families"

Pullman Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and good breakfast"

ibis Hotel Köln Centrum

8/10 Good

"Clean room, hardly any noise heard from outside. Staff were polite and efficient. Not far walk from the centre."

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Comfy bedding"

Mauritius Hotel & Therme

10/10 Excellent

"Good place, good location good price."

NunoHotel Köln City

8/10 Good

"The hotel was well located next to the tram stop so very easy to get around the city. The rooms are basic but well designed. I would have liked a kettle but that’s a minor point and there are cafes very close by. I asked for an extra pillow and it was sorted immediately. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is quite quirky which I liked. I would stay again."

Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"Very tidy hotel with friendly and helpful staff."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific hotel and an amazing staff."

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, location fine, parking easy. Decent bar area. Only criticism is the self check in desk is a bit inefficient. Had two staff who could have done the check in, in seconds, stood there watching us fumble around. Self check in should exist for when staff aren’t around (late arrivals) or away from the mann check in desk to make more “slots available” during peak times. Having 3 computers and 2 staff telling people how to use the computers and not able to check you in on their own computer is just silly. We also had to queue to check out to get parking validated, which seems like something a computer system you had to use to pay for parking could have done during check in… didn’t ruin the stay but several of our party commented on how woefully inefficient the existing process is."
