Room facilities are solid, but with small defects (hole in the wall, half covered with a telephone). Used glasses and cups in the bathroom, even though there was clearance for the room and a clogged drain in the shower. Good connection to public transport, about 5 minutes to the stop, McDonald's next door. Unguarded parking costs €15 from the hotel. For example, if you attend an event at the Palladium, you can walk there (approx. 20 minutes)

Well, yes. We regularly stay in IHG Group hotels and are very satisfied in most cases. But not here. The room smelled like a wet dog and a bath towel definitely smelled like urine! We traveled with our children and booked a family room whose sofa bed had its best days behind it. The atmosphere in front of the hotel had something of a motorway parking lot. Why do people spend the day there in front of their vans? Doesn't matter. What really annoyed me was that we were greeted warmly as IHG Club members and told us that the parking lot was free for us. But we were charged 15 euros! With the note Parking in the hotel parking lot! And that for a publicly accessible and in no way secured place that serves as an exit and parking lot for the McDonald's next door. We won't be coming back.

Very good location, almost directly on the highway. There are sufficient parking spaces available directly in front of the hotel (no reservation necessary), but they cost €15/night. The room was a good size and even had an ironing board and iron. The breakfast offering is varied.

We were in Cologne for a short trip. We were very happy with this hotel. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The size was sufficient, you were only there to sleep and shower. Price/performance was right. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a great selection and was always refilled. About 10 to 15 minutes walk to bus and train. Can only be recommended.

Would go back and stay again. Nothing crazy good or bad to note. The location was good for us because we were going to a concert nearby. Free breakfast was great! Big spread of food. Not a lot of hot food, but they had a pancake proper, so that was fun. I've noticed in germany they turn off Ac when fall hits, even when its warm out. It wasn't bad, but they offered to turn it on if it was too hot. That was nice of them. They have an ice machine on the main floor, but you need a glass from the bar to get some. Nice of me to grab the glass. Parking is charged. Oh, and no fridge in the hotel room, so that was kinda disappointing. All in all, pleasant stay.

I visited this hotel with my girlfriend because of a concert. Location was very good as we weren't very far from the concert hall and could easily reach it on foot. And since there is a McDonald's right next to the hotel, it was even better to quickly get something to eat after the concert. The hotel room itself was very neat and clean. Have no complaints about any defects. The staff was also very friendly and helpful when I brought a new hairdryer that was unfortunately missing from the room. The only thing that bothered me was the traffic noise coming from the cars parked and driving away with the windows open and the smell of smoke from the smokers smoking right in front of the hotel. As a non-smoker, waking up to the smell in the morning wasn't great. Nevertheless, the stay was quite good.

It's a little out of the way from Koeln city centre, but we knew that before booking. The bus was the best option when travelling to it. Handy being net door to a McDonalds and at Lidl about 10 minutes walk. …
