Top University of Cologne Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was around a 20 minute walk from the station and centre but could easily be reached by tram. Hotel was clean & modern. The room was a little small but plenty big enough for 2 of us for 2 nights. We had food & drinks and they were reasonably priced for a hotel. Check in was a little slow due to volume of people but we expected that due to the time. I believe you can check in in advance but we weren't aware before hand. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Would recommend & would stay again"

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could be better is colder air conditions when we sleep at night. Other than that that, it was perfect!"

Maritim Hotel Köln

8/10 Good

"The building itself is quite unique. The hotel was nice but the rooms were very dated and the bed was very small (smaller than a queen). There are lots of great restaurants in the neighbourhood. The pool was a highlight. Staff were friendly and helpful."

ibis Hotel Köln Centrum

8/10 Good

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."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific hotel and an amazing staff."
