Poppelsdorf Palace

This is a lovely quiet hotel within walking distance of the busy central Cologne. The staff couldn't be more helpful, even ensuring we had a room on arrival 4 hours before the official check in time. We were even offered refreshments while we waited. The room is clean and the towels etc changed every day. Supermarkets, cafes etc within easy walking distance. Id definitely recommend if you want the peace away from the hustle and bustle of central Cologne.

Massive thank you to the man who allowed me to check in super early after my 5:45am flight, and for storing my luggage in your staff office when I went to the spa (you really are an angel). Exceptional breakfast (croissants, breads, jams, hams, cheeses, porridge/muesli, eggs, fruit and so much more). Lovely spacious room. The bed lights were a little strange - came on sporadically but that was a little blip. Hotel surroundings is quiet as it's about 15 min walk from Central Cologne station but as a woman, I didn't necessarily feel comfortable walking back to the hotel at night on my own. It was thankfully okay but most likely better in the summer months when it's not dark around 6pm. Loved the 24/7 bar/shop where you can pay as you go for items. Thank you all, but especially to the young man on the morning shift of 14 Nov and 17 Nov. Highlight - the spa, and only 4eu!!! Day made!

Honestly this place is a hidden gem, from the moment I check in, to check out there was nothing I could complain about. Beds comfy, area was a perfect walk to all transport and bars. I didn’t try breakfast, but I will definitely be booking here again!
