Moxy Cologne-Bonn Airport
German efficiency at its best. The room was spotless, the reception staff incredibly helpful and the welcome drink was a really nice touch. The hotel is situated right next to the train station and airport which was incredibly convenient, yet we didn’t hear a sound. Would highly recommend.

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.
