"Very convenient, well-located, and quiet place to stay. I'd stay again. The check-in is handled remotely but easy to navigate. The kitchen is convenient, minimally but quite workably equipped. There's a Rewe 3 minutes away. A tram stop just around the corner. A nice patio for relaxing morning or evening. A good corner room with bottled water, toothpaste, and sundries to buy in a pinch."

Novotel Köln City

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel. Super friendly and helpful staff. It's just a 15 minute walk along the very nice Rhine promenade to the centre of the altstadt (old town) and about 20-25 mins to the Cathedral. I would stay there again without hesitation."
