Dorint An der Messe Köln

10/10 Excellent
"My hotel stay was excellent. The food at breakfast and at the bar restaurant was excellent. The only downside is that the hotel is on the north side of the river, where there are very few restaurants. However, if you are there for a conference at the convention center, it is a very convenient place to stay."

a&o Köln Neumarkt

10/10 Excellent
"​„It is a great place to stay in Cologne. However, it would be much more convenient for guests if their room key cards automatically included access to the toilets and kitchen on the reception floor. Currently, every visit to these areas requires a receptionist to manually grant access. Although reception is technically 24/7, staff members are not always at the desk because they have other duties to attend to.“"
