It’s located right in front of the dome and next to the train station so the location was perfect. As a 5 star hotel though, the internet connection was sporadic and I had to ask for tea. There was no complimentary coffee either. And the front desk staff members did their job. The room was rather outdated and showed wear and tear. I hated the big ole’ heavy key, but some might find them charming.

This hotel is across the street from the cathedral and the location is in the heart of the city. You can literally walk from the train station to the hotel in 5 mins or less and this was super convenient as we had luggage with us. The staff was very tentative, helpful and professional. My wife loved the tea time and I highly recommend the 7 course dining experience the food was amazing and we left so full we could barley walk. Overall, I will be staying here again on my next trip.

Good, but room for improvement
Very good stay at this comfortable hotel. Expected to be shown to our room, but not a problem, although the sign posting for 110 is poor. Bed slightly too firm for our liking, but room otherwise comfortable. Liked the free minibar. Breakfast on the expensive side, but choice of freshly prepared food was excellent. Only real issue was that bar staff were overwhelmed on Saturday night and we gave up waiting for a drink/snack.

Excelsior review dec 2023
The checkin was very easy. The staff was very helpful and ensured we were comfortable throughout the stay. The valet parking was at both dropoff and pickup. The bar staff were very accommodating and friendly. At checkin, we asked about the christmas markets and were given a map with the locations. This made it easier to navigate around the area. Everyone in the party enjoyed the relaxed environment.

Really wonderful
Overall a really amazing hotel. The staff working the front desk and lobby were all exceptionally well-trained and friendly. Our check-in was quick and easy and the room was beautiful and very clean. Lots of room, high ceilings, 2 Juliet balconies, rainfall shower and lovely toiletries. Also, the piano bar is a nice place to get some champagne and beautiful cakes/pastries. We'd definitely stay here again in the future.

Don’t fall for the “upgrade” con
What a beautiful place. We were offered an upgrade and agreed but felt the desk person was being a bit underhanded about it. Sure enough, the amount he told us was much less than the outrageous price we paid. We should have checked into it more before we agreed but felt that a 5-star hotel would be more concerned about its pristine reputation than conning foreigners out of some money.

This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at, and I'm 67 and well traveled and not afraid to stay in nice hotels. I mentioned to a friend of mine who lives in Cologne that it was the nicest hotel I had ever stayed in, and his response was, 'Well it should be. It's the nicest hotel in Cologne.' Everything was beautiful and perfect. The hotel was fully booked, so even though I was eligible for an upgrade, it didn't happen. The hotel is a one minute walk from the train station, and across the street from the Cathedral

Super cold in the room (mid-December) and especially the bathroom; they gave us a heater but wasn’t enough and no way to heat the bathroom w the heater

Property is located very well! Right across from The Dom Cathedral..shopping is excellent..Christmas markets too are across the road. We had booked a junior suite but an upgrade would have been very good , which we didn’t get as they were full. That was disappointing.
