Top Old Town Cologne Hotel Reviews

URBAN LOFT Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Clean room, very quiet. Short walking distance from the Cologne Cathedral and a few galleries/museums. Train station is close by and local food was amazing."

Mauritius Hotel & Therme

2/10 Terrible

"The room had bugs, so the occupant (our son) requested a different room. They did comply, but then accused him of damaging the TV. It was not true anyhow, and it then turned out that they accused him before even talking to any others (cleaning and maintenance personnel) who had access to the room. Overall, the facility was dirty and shabby - both rooms, elevator, etc. Overall impression was borderline disastrous, and anyhow the standard of a 4-star hotel was definitely not met. Beware the room damage scam/trap - we recommend taking a pic of your room to document the condition and avoid unfounded accusations!"

Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent

"We only needed a bed for the night as we were attending a concert. The bed was large, clean and very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating. We needed a taxi to get to the venue and they had one for us within 3 minutes. Fresh water, still or sparkling on demand at the front entrance. Shower snd restroom were cleaned and well stocked. The AC wotked great. We were comfortable all night. Fresh nespresso or tea in the AM. Would definitely stay there again"

Hotel Mondial am Dom Cologne - MGallery

10/10 Excellent

"Super Zimmer, Super Service. Alles in Köln fußläufig zu erreichen, Bahnhof direkt daneben. Erstklassige Parkmöglichkeit auf / im Hotel (24.-€/Tag) mit großen breiten Stellplätzen, MEGA Frühstück mit allem was man sich denken kann. Absolut Empfehlenswert."

Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect location for karneval. Close to everything you need to have a good time. Great restaurants and bars nearby, transit is 30 seconds outside the hotel, can't ask for a better spot. And the rooms are HUGE for Europe. Our one issue was the room was extremely dusty and the pillows were basically non existent, but small price to pay for the location. "
