Matzen Vacation Packages

Worth a visit for the stunning views and unique architecture. Booked as a mid point stop on a long drive to Germany. Convenient due to proximity of the motorway and underground parking. Location is stunning! The property has been restored to a very high standard- amazing architecture combined with the highest quality of fittings and materials. The views were amazing at sunset. When we arrived we were allocated a room which had not been cleaned from the previous guest however the staff swiftly arranged another room, we arrived late in the day after a long drive to be told the restaurant was closing at 9pm and it was too late to order ( it was a public holiday). To be honest we were tired so it wasn’t a huge problem. The entrance to the car park is VERY tight be warned if you have a large vehicle. We just managed it in our SUV. Our room was huge!

The hotel was nice, staff was helpful and the breakfast was amazing. I did feel as though the room was too warm even with the AC on and I wish there was a microwave and ice machine available to guests. I will say that I'm from the US so maybe this is the norm for hotels overseas. I want to mention that although there was not a microwave in my room, the staff was willing to pop the bag of popcorn for me. I was very appreciative for that. I definitely recommend this hotel and will stay again if possible.

The hotel is located in a quiet side-street in Cologne, seemingly well away from any shops, bars, restaurants. The largest drawback however was that the hotel only served breakfast, had no lounge or bar area to chill & relax, & so could really only be used for sleeping & breakfast. However, we soon located a very good - reasonably expensive - steakhouse near bye, & a collection of resturarnts about 15 minutes easy stroll away. I was attending a trade fair at the Cologne Messe, which was around 10mins away by cab, circa £16 each way. My wife used the time I was away at the show to walk along the Rhine, into Cologne centre, easy 25mins walk to the Cathedral. Nice hotel, but would not use again because of the dining/bar situation.

Good breakfast but bathroom moldy.

Very clean and quiet hotel. Good location for walking to multiple locations. Easy walk into the city centre. Would definitely stay again!
