Top hotels in Eil
Maritim Hotel Köln
Staff at reception was very attentive, specifically the lady from Nepal (sorry, I’m really bad with names) I wish there were things in the room that guests probably need like an iron or a steamer for clothing, shower head cap etc. I like the hotel and the location.

Premier Inn Köln City Süd
The breakfast menu was fine except it was not evident how to make a cup of tea! Too complex with metal strainers and loose leaf tea. Us English need an easy cuppa in the morning! Just get some tea bags and make it easier!
