NH Koeln Altstadt

Cologne|1.98km from Forum for Photography
There was no air conditioning (AC) even though the hotel advertised as having it. Their excuses was that it was too cool at night to operate the AC for the hotel even though it was actually very warm outside. Translation: the entire hotel is either on heat or AC, they are too frugal to allow use of the advertised AC, or their system is outdated and does not actually work properly. Very hot and stuff room. The odd thing was is that the hotel lobby seemed to have AC. The hallways and room were uncomfortably hot. Upon checking in there was only a little bit of toilet paper was left on the roll. Fortunately there was an extra roll provided. Only a few sheets of Kleenex were in the box. Also, the hand soap dispenser was nearly empty. It seems not much care is given to the rooms between guests. On our last day the housekeeper knocks on the door early in the morning even tough the “do not disturb” sign was hung on the door. It was a basic room with furnishings that included a desk, a small round table, 2 small nightstands, a desk chair, and one sitting chair. There was no usable refrigerator, just a mini bar. The was only one suitcase rack situated in the closet. We had to use the sitting chair for our other suitcase. The beds were not too comfortable. Also the pillow case did not completely cover the pillow, so your head might rest upon the exposed portion of the pillow where the lasts hundreds of guest placed their heads. Bathroom was OK but a bit smelly. The shower had low water pressure. Some water will leak out under the shower door to the floor. Stepping over the high tub with a slippery shower floor is a bit precarious. Internet speed was 3.81 Mbps in both upload and download, with 8 ms latency. The location is near the chocolate museum and a good pizza and pasta restaurant is nearby. The cathedral is less than a mile away. At almost 400 euros a night, it was very expensive for a poor experience. Perhaps HN stands for “Not Happy.”

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Koeln

Cologne City Center Cologne|2.58km from Forum for Photography
Sadly this is NOT a 5 star hotel and I don’t even know how they got that rating. They may have been at one point but unfortunately my experience there was not of a 5 star hotel. The staff was very friendly however the hotel itself was very underwhelming. Upon arrival there was a paper stuck on the elevator saying there will be no water after midnight for the next 3 days . We then got a room on the 6th floor which had a nice view of the street, however at 8am in the morning we were woken up by drilling sounds from a floor above us and when we complained to the staff they said there was nothing they could do about it, we then finally got moved to the second floor, but the furniture in that room was so old rusty and outdated in my opinion. My boyfriend wanted to go take a nice swim in the pool that is advertised on their website only to realize that using it is an extra charge as the pool does not belong to the hotel. The pillows we had were also very bad, usually you get a set of about 2-3 pillows in 5 star hotels but we only got 1 flat pillow each which was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Sadly the only good thing about this hotel is that it’s very close to everything, about 5 minutes to the main station and the supermarket is right across the street as are most restaurants. The Rhein river is also quite close. I believe the hotel has a lot of improvement to do but it seems they are not even considering improvement any time soon. After the not so great experience we had we thought maybe they might offer some sort of compensation but nothing was offered. Once again this is really not a 5 star hotel so don’t be fooled.

Koncept Hotel International
4/541 Reviews
I arrived at the hotel alone at around 11am where I intended to wait until my partner arrived to meet me. There are no staff there and you check in manually on a computer. As check-in is not until 3pm I went to the lockers at the far end of the lobby to put my suitcase away. As I was putting my case away a large group of 6 men, possibly more, surrounded me in front of the lockers. I'm a petite woman and they were all over 6 foot tall. They were dressed up for the Carnival parade and had clearly been drinking heavily through the night. They surrounded me and said things like 'oh wow you're beautiful', 'hello beautiful'... when I continued putting my things in my locker they continued to close in on me saying 'smile, smile, you should smile more' and 'you would be a lot prettier if you smiled'. At this point with nobody else around and feeling extremely scared for my safety I told them to leave me alone, squeezed past them and went into the ladies bathroom where I planned to wait until they left the lockers. I could hear smashing bottles as they were so drunk they dropped a few of their beer bottles on the floor. The main door of the ladies bathroom did not lock and one of the men came into the bathroom just a few minutes after me. I was terrified and screamed at him to get out and leave me alone. He left the bathroom but the men continued to stand outside the door for at least ten more minutes while I waited scared inside for them to leave before I could make my exit. This was a truly traumatizing experience and ruined what was meant to be a romantic weekend away for my partner and I in Cologne.
MesseHotel Köln-Deutz

Five-star praise to Ctrip, because the ticket rescheduled to refund one night, the hotel refunded 10%, the rest of Ctrip refunded. For the hotel, in addition to being more rigid in this regard, the breakfast is not very good, the others are still very satisfied. Clean and tidy, you can walk to the Cologne Exhibition Center and Daoyitz Railway Station, and it is quiet and the environment is beautiful, especially like the scenery outside the window.

Similar to the domestic five-star hotel, the service staff is very warm, we have 3 breakfasts, extremely rich and delicious, the room decoration is very simple and bright, the facilities are good. 3 people live, good value for money, the sofa bed can be taken out into a big bed, very comfortable.

Premier Inn Koln City Sud

It was a very clean hotel. Our room beds are shiny. Workers like the Gulery helper. Location is less far from the centre but 10 minutes by walking. We haven't already walked everywhere. I recommend.
Aparthotel Adagio Koeln City
4.2/561 Reviews
My wife and I stayed in this aparthotel at the end of July 2023. It was well situated within the city and was less than 15 minutes walk into the city centre and the Cathedral. The staff were friendly and had left a drink in my room as it was my birthday, but for some reason the staff member thought I was 6 years old! Odd seeing as I booked with a credit card. I had written to the hotel prior to let them know it was my birthday as well. The apartment was definitely big enough for both of us, with a small hob, microwave and fridge, though we didn’t cook anything, it was nice to have the extra room to relax. There is underground parking at the apartments, which is €20 a day. For the convenience it was worth paying even if it is a little expensive. It rained most of the time we were there, but there is still plenty to do. The Cathedral is free, which is always good and the Hohenzollern Brücke which is full of locks is great to walk over the Rhein. Cologne is a lovely city for a couple of days
