Cologne, Germany Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Hotel Matamba was fantastic, our 2 year old had a brilliant time, ball pools and sand pits downstairs, and a fun rope bridge over a small man made stream. A Lion character who shakes hands with the kids and who plays with them if they are bored, and the hotel is only 2 mins walk from the brilliant Phantasialand which has tonnes to do for kids of all ages. The food in the hotel was excellent, in the evening they have all kinds of meats on the grill, such as Ostrich, Kudu, Zebra and Springbok. The hotel can also offer 'schnupper' tickets for Phantasialand, so if you arrive late on your first day and fancy a look in the park without paying the entry you can get these tickets for free. If you plan on paying for a full day in the park they will also give you some VIP tickets so you can go straight to the front of many of the rides! The hotel was fab and we will definitely be going back when nipper number 2 is old enough to go....

Excellent apartment, great location right next to the cathedral, would use again

Clean, quiet and spacious apartment close to the city centre. Excellent value - will definitely use again next time we are in Cologne!

A lovely little hotel with very helpful and friendly staff, rooms were quite basic but very clean and a decent breakfast. We were at a trade fair in Cologne which was very easy to get too as the train station was a 5 minute walk from the hotel and only 3 stops away...very easy and with plenty of restaurants and bars near by would certainly recommend this hotel

Parking down the road . A bit inconvenient to carry the luggage from the car park to the Hotel .

The apartment was in an area close to the city. The building is very plain but the interior is very cosy.

In the center of Cologne we found a small and quite boutique hotel. The staff wsd very welcoming and very helpful. The breakfast was great fitted for vegans also. We definitely visit again this hotel on our next trip to the area.

Close to the Cologne fair, but located in a residential neighborhood.
