Steigenberger Hotel Köln
Very happy with our stay. We had a large room on the first floor which was away from the other rooms. As a result the internet did not work in our room, that was the one downside. Everything else was fine.

INA Hotel Royal
A very basic hotel. The corridor and room smelt musty. Bed was comfortable. Okay for a short stay on a budget.

The Ascot Hotel Köln
Great stay and good location. Easy access to transit. Staff were very nice and helpful and room was quite large. Wish it had had a queen mattress instead of two singles pushed together but it was otherwise perfect and comfortable.

Ruby Ella Hotel Cologne
It’s a young people’s hotel. Clean and comfortable of loud. Amenities like hot drinks in a corridor rather than my room not for me. Perfectly good and good value for a type of traveller - just not this one ☺️ 51 year old business traveller.
