art'otel Cologne powered by Radisson Hotels
Great staff. Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing some major work to the lobby, bar and restaurant areas along with fitting new carpets in the hallways. It’s a good hotel and we will be back but as a small hotel, work in communal areas have a big knock on impact on our enjoyment of the hotel.

Steigenberger Hotel Köln
Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Nur die Geräusche von der Straße waren extrem laut -so wie wenn die Fenster nicht richtig zu sind obwohl sie es waren.
