Top Cologne Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice hotel just steps away from the Köln Cathedral and about a 10 min walk to the “Love lock bridge”. Lots of upscale shopping nearby if you’re into that. Staff was friendly and helpful. We did order room service twice; the 2nd order never came but they did refund the cost. Parking was onsite with easy access to the hotel via lift."

Kommerzhotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right next to the central train station with a view of Koln Cathedral when you step out of the hotel. The breakfast was very good."

URBAN LOFT Cologne

8/10 Good

"Good location. Street outside hotel looked sketchy but once you’re inside hotel, it’s safe. No air conditioning. No tissues in the room. I don’t like check-in process where you have to enter your information in the computer yourself."

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was around a 20 minute walk from the station and centre but could easily be reached by tram. Hotel was clean & modern. The room was a little small but plenty big enough for 2 of us for 2 nights. We had food & drinks and they were reasonably priced for a hotel. Check in was a little slow due to volume of people but we expected that due to the time. I believe you can check in in advance but we weren't aware before hand. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Would recommend & would stay again"

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could be better is colder air conditions when we sleep at night. Other than that that, it was perfect!"

Maritim Hotel Köln

8/10 Good

"The building itself is quite unique. The hotel was nice but the rooms were very dated and the bed was very small (smaller than a queen). There are lots of great restaurants in the neighbourhood. The pool was a highlight. Staff were friendly and helpful."

Cologne Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely stay, very good location"

Opera Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"For the cheap price it had everything I needed. The bed wasn’t top quality and it was a bit chilly in the room but for the 8 hours I was there it worked. The pillow was mediocre but propped it up with some clothes and was fine. The shower was hot and had fabulous water pressure. Love the big shelf in the bathroom to hold things."

Premier Inn Köln City Mediapark

10/10 Excellent

"Amazingly spacious room! Haven’t seen anything like that before."
