Clean room. Comfy beds. Clean modern bathroom with great shower. Snack bar expensive. Bar was cash only which seemed strange! Didn’t have breakfast.

Hotel Mondial am Dom Cologne - MGallery
Conveniently located close to the train station, city Center and of course The Magnificent Cathedral. Staff were very attentive, our room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant was out of our budget, but there’s lots of other options nearby. Highly recommend this place!
