Leonardo Royal Hotel Cologne Bonn Airport
Large clean room with good facilities. Had dinner in hotel, food and drink good but waiter constantly in his phone. Couldn’t get through to hotel for shuttle bus from airport and no one on reception when we arrived. However shuttle bus back to airport was easy to arrange.

Moxy Cologne-Bonn Airport
German efficiency at its best. The room was spotless, the reception staff incredibly helpful and the welcome drink was a really nice touch. The hotel is situated right next to the train station and airport which was incredibly convenient, yet we didn’t hear a sound. Would highly recommend.
