A simple, unpretentious hotel. Small, clean rooms, quite cheap. OK for a few days. Near the dancing fountain. I stayed there a few times during the Amphi Festival.

Hotel canceled booking 2 months before stay. The replacement arrangement offered does not come close to what was booked in terms of local proximity, parking availability or standard, and the reviews there are also significantly worse. Notabenen for the same price. The hotel operator is not responsible for any inconvenience, failures or advance payments and will only refund your own amount. Unfortunately, it's a shame, but it's saved under "not again".

We had actually booked one night at the Arkadia Hotel, but since it was closed, I assume due to poor hygiene standards, we were sent to the hotel "Boutique 003" with an even worse rating. By the way, without us being told. We only found out at check-in. Then they wanted to make it clear to us that the boss had called and written to us, even though that wasn't true. Then we had to negotiate forever to get a room. It was assumed that we had not responded to the boss's offer. What if nothing came?At the reception there was a printed email from the boss with the subject: "This is what we tell our guests. Be careful what you say!" with the content, "The city of Cologne will use the Hotel Arkadia from June 1st, therefore all bookings must be canceled". To me that sounds a lot like "our hotel was closed by the city because it is so dirty and dangerous to health". Congratulations on the stupidity of posting this email with the subject as if your guests were stupid. Great job!

Hotel withdrew our reservation that we paid for and booked months in advance to secure as we knew hotels would be fully booked and gave us no reason as to why. The hotel they ‘recommended’ was already fully booked. Customer service was horrendous either hung up on us or simply refused to talk to us and instead sent automated messages that were copy and paste. Money was returned as a voucher that is only useable on their hotels (which are fully booked) or only receive 10% of our money back if we cancelled and gave us zero compensation. I suspect they sold on our reservation to someone else. Staying here is a risk and I do not recommend it. They took our money, cancelled our reservation and left us with nowhere to stay. Very dodgy and untrustworthy, I recommend finding other hotels.

Wow, great spot. This hotel is operated by nearby hotel Ayun. So breakfast is a small walk, 200m. This is good, you can see the parrots that live in the area. Friendly und helpful staff. Good breakfast. They even have plums at the moment. Very silent. Totally clean. Strong wifi.

I can't really write a review. We booked 2 single rooms here. When we arrived, the shock. The photo of the hotel, on the website and here, does not correspond to reality. With a bad premonition, we wanted to check in anyway. There was a sign on the door saying that the Cechk-Inn was in the Hotel Ayun. When we went to check in we were told that we had been upgraded and would stay at Hotel Ayun. The whole thing is very dubious.

Good morning, me and other 6 people have yet to stay at your hotel. I sent 3 emails asking for information for a late check-in, since the flight will land at 22.20 in the evening in the 28th of April, but I have not received any response. I read that check in is done at Ayun Hotel also for Arkadia Hotel. Is it possible to get replies to emails?Thank you

I just want to publicly thank the staff at this hotel. More specifically, the workers at check in, both night and day staff. I was in Germany for surgery and was traveling alone. A couple days post surgery I fell into a bit of an emergency situation and I desperately needed help getting to a doctor, my phone would not let me dial to any German numbers. The day time staff jumped in to assist me and make sure that I got to where I needed to go safely and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you so much for everything.
