Merkelbach Vacation Packages

Great location close to everything we needed, with very helpful and welcoming staff. The on-site parking was a big plus and made getting around very convenient.

Excellent position for exploring Cologne, very helpful staff and nice clean room, couldn’t ask for more

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.

just ok if you need to stay at that neighborhood

This hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the train station and cathedral. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area too. The room we had was for three. It was very small but what more do you need? The bathroom was small too and the shower didn’t drain but we told them and they said they would send someone in to look. There is also a very small elevator which was useful since we were on the fourth floor. The staff was very accommodating as well. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
