The perfect place from which to explore Cologne with your dog.Very comfortable and warm room. Great TV and really excellent hot shower, so easy to use.Friendly staff. The staff of the hotel were very good and cooperative. Receptionist Ismena and others did their job perfectly. The housekeeping staff also was good.The hotel is very central within easy reach of shops, eating places and metro, trams, buses and the Central Station. I will certainly be back.

Spent three nights during a fair. Good location with a short walk to the train station and a variety of restaurants. ||Room was ok with a small desk for work. Otherwise nothing special. …

Overall this place was pretty good. The location was ideal for what we wanted. Walking distance to everything we wanted to see in the city. One of the best parts was that they had a parking garage directly under the hotel. There were a few minor inconveniences that we reported to the front desk when we checked out, so hopefully they will resolve them for future guests. I would recommend staying here for the price.

The location is good. The room felt a bit small for 4 pax but confortable enough. It is very clean and staffs are very friendly and helpful. ||The only thing is there are no complimentary on tea and coffee in the room. ||However, overall experience was great as it was our first time in Cologne.

I am very happy that I stayed in this hotel during New Year. Neat rooms with all essential comfort and great breakfast service in the morning. Easy access to the city centre and plenty of parking possibility in the immediate surroundings. When you want to eat something you can just leave the hotel and go to the Italian style bistro place next door. I advise this hotel to all . If there is one thing , please mention that the next door gym and swimmingpool is only from 16 years of age. My children where fairly disappointed about this and it would have been simple just to note on the website since I have also calculated the price I paid on these extra features .

There isn't really much point writing a review in terms of informing the hotel as all the faults keep being written on here but clearly the hotel has no intention of addressing them but for any future guests ....here goes!!|1. …

The only characteristic for a 4-star hotel of this property is its price. I can't believe this is an Expedia VIP property, really feels like three-star hotel from the FRG times.*Check-in: the self-check kiosk asked me to pay my reservation in order to complete the process, despite the fact the my booking was prepaid through expedia. I needed to ask for refund at the reception desk. I got my money back immediately, but still it was not a nice experience at all.*Rooms: small but rather clean. No kettle or even a drinking glass. The glass door of the shower was leaking and after I took a shower the floor was flooded. The floor towel did not help.*Expedia perks: At the time I made my reservation, and being a platinum Expedia member, I was promised a bottle of sparkling wine at check-in, plus a free access to hotel's swimming pool. After I asked for the wine, it was delivered to my room; still, no access to the pool was given.*Breakfast was the most disappointing thing. The website of the hotel (https://www.hotel-am-augustinerplatz.de/breakfast/?lang=en) says that on Sat and Sun the breakfast is served till 11:30, but I was denied access at exactly 11:00 by the staff in the breakfast area. I managed to get to the coffee machine and to make an espresso, but was asked to leave. I reported that immediately to the hotel's reception, and the lady working there politely said that the behavior of her colleagues wasn't professional. Still, I did not get even an apology of any sort.

Upon arrival, the lady at the reception told me that they had to cancel my booking due to a damage in the water pipes. It was an unpleasant experience to hear that after driving 3 hours. I was planning to rest in the hotel at night after visiting the Christmas Market.Considering that I made the reservation 4 months before my trip ( a non refundable one via Booking), I expected to be offered another room or at least to be directed to another hotel.I asked the lady whether they were going to take any responsibility or not, she claimed that they were not responsible. She told me to contact Booking. That is probably the way to resolve things, but it didn't really feel nice at all.Anyways, I drove 3 hours back to my home in the evening. It would have been a real disappointment if I were coming from far away via plane.

During my stay at this hotel, I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by the staff. Their commitment to ensuring guest satisfaction was evident from the outset. In particular, the manager, Dennis, stood out for his dedication and attentiveness. His leadership seems to set the tone for the entire team, as every staff member I encountered was courteous and eager to assist.
