Clayton Hotel Düsseldorf City Centre

8/10 Good

"Nearby shopping and 7 min. walking to central station. They show swimming pool and GYM on the website but the door always locked. The front desk personal asked if I want to upgrade my room for extra money. My Expedia shows my membership status able to have free upgrades if available. They are doing construction work around the hotel, the entrance not clear from the roadside."

URBAN LOFT Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the aesthetic of this hotel. Staff really helpful and friendly at check in. Great aircon, comfortable bed and really quiet. Good supermarket one side, Asian restaurant the other and bars opposite with tables outside. Lovely communal area on ground floor of hotel if you preferred that. Was easy to walk to the cathedral and old town but a bit away from the hectic tourist bustle. Loved it!"

CityClass Hotel am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right next to the cathedral and the city centre, with the train station being a few minutes walk. Its a wonderfully well kept hotel and the single room I had was very comfortable and the Wifi excellent. The staff were very helpful and the reception is manned 24/7. Breakfast is excellent and caters for a range of dietary requirements,"

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, location fine, parking easy. Decent bar area. Only criticism is the self check in desk is a bit inefficient. Had two staff who could have done the check in, in seconds, stood there watching us fumble around. Self check in should exist for when staff aren’t around (late arrivals) or away from the mann check in desk to make more “slots available” during peak times. Having 3 computers and 2 staff telling people how to use the computers and not able to check you in on their own computer is just silly. We also had to queue to check out to get parking validated, which seems like something a computer system you had to use to pay for parking could have done during check in… didn’t ruin the stay but several of our party commented on how woefully inefficient the existing process is."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Merkenich?

The best time to go to Merkenich is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer pleasant weather, ideal for exploring the area and enjoying outdoor activities comfortably.

During late spring, temperatures are mild, and the greenery is fresh and abundant. This is a great time for couples to enjoy strolls along the Rhine or explore the nearby Fühlinger See, a popular recreational lake with opportunities for swimming, boating, and sunbathing. The longer daylight hours also allow for more extensive sightseeing.

Early autumn brings cooler, crisp air and often provides beautiful foliage colours, particularly along the riverbanks and in local parks. This season is superb for solo travellers who prefer a more relaxed pace and fewer crowds.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Merkenich hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Merkenich hotel?

Hotel prices in Merkenich often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
