Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection by Hilton

Innenstadt

"I really enjoyed this hotel - it is an experience! The rooms are comfortable, almost luxurious….the breakfast buffet is amazing, they have a nice spa/sauna, and a reasonable (albeit just essentials) gym. The neighborhood is quiet, so no noise, and easy walking distance to parts of Cologne. Note: the front desk is rarely staffed, which is a key gap in case of emergency needs or scheduling changes."

Top Innenstadt Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel licatuon is perfectly located; easy walking distance to all the major attractions of Cologne. The staff were very friendly amd professional and made our trip very memorable. If you are a Hilton Honors member, you get the benefit of free Wi-Fi, potential room upgrade and other perks."

Pullman Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, approx 20 minutes from Cologne center. Nice spacious rooms with fab shower room. Free toileraries and mini bar. Great selection for breakfast. Coffee machine was a bit confusing to use. Good that you could get a take away coffee at breakfast. Lab12 is a nice enclosed rooftop area with sights of the Cathedral. The bar wasn't open when we went but it was a nice quiet area to relax on our last day. Wellness & sauna only opens at 5pm-10pm Monday-Friday, so currently waiting to use it before we head of to the airport this evening. All the staff have been helpful and friendly"

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Świetna lokalizacja, kilka minut spacerem do katedry i nad Ren. Ciekawy wystrój, pyszne śniadania, w weekendy do 12:00. Sauna czynna do 22:00 pozwala zrelaksować się po całym dniu zwiedzania. Rewelacyjny stosunek jakości do ceny."

Premier Inn Köln City Mediapark

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good for the type of hotel and price. Staff friendly enough, except for the awkward guy at the reception desk during breakfast... He spoke fine with me, but perhaps not too friendly to women. Annoying bit was with the elevators - one was out of service. We have 2 toddlers with 2 strollers - had to wait 5-8 minutes around breakfast time and check out time to get an elevator. Otherwise, the rooms were great - we had a family room, with a bath. Great size, everything clean, comfortable, and the hotel feels safe. I recommend it, just wish the elevator were fixed. Parking is also very reasonable at €19/night."
