Fabulous 4* Fun - Free Chocolate Included
Review of Novotel Köln City, Cologne by
zoe_page
Advantages: Chocolates on the pillow!
Disadvantages: Full of the traveling English on coach trips to the Xmas markets.
...in Cologne in the 4* Novotel on the banks of the Rhine. We booked in September for travel in December, and paid only €250 (which was £177 on the date we checked in) for the three nights. This price included a breakfast each morning, which would otherwise have cost €15 each. Two breakfasts per day for 3 days is €90, so for the room only price we're down to €160. I booked through Quidco, using the Novotel own website (they have a best price guarantee) ... ...write letters on the complimentary Novotel writing paper if we wished, and a weird wardrobe thing that didn't have doors or a top, but was just some rails concealed behind some pieces of wood. The overall décor was very clean, slightly Ikea-style, plain and minimalist, and I liked it a lot. The only thing I would change would be the picture over the desk which I kept going to thinking it was a mirror (the mirror was further up near the non-wardrobe). ...

A NIGHT IN THE MUSIC MUSEUM - COLOGNE
Review of Hotel Viktoria, Cologne by
RICHADA
Advantages: Position. Clean. Spacious. Parking. Receptionists.
Disadvantages: Facilities.
WHY DID WE BOOK THE HOTEL VIKTORIA - COLOGNE?
It all started earlier in the year upon receiving an unexpected wedding invitation - not in Cologne, but in Lubeck, three hundred miles to the north east. Having decided on taking the car, and to make an autumn break of it, we decided that we would split our German holiday in two: three days in Lubeck and a further three in Cologne. During the last six years we have driven through Cologne over twenty ... ...publicity material issued by the hotel and various booking sites rate this establishment as a four star one. HOTEL DESCRIPTION / OUR PERCEPTION FROM HOTEL PUBLICITY
In all honesty, we did not read all of the hotel publicity - especially as it was booked through Travelres.com which only gave a very brief description of the hotel and room. The hotel's own website, in English, offers far more of the flavour of the place though and having acquainted ...

A three night stay at Hotel Caprice
Review of CM CityClass Hotel Caprice, Cologne by
manamedia
Advantages: Excellent breakfast, great location, very friendly staff, very clean
Disadvantages: Small shower, main entrance obscurely placed
In a very pleasant old style part of Cologne lies the Hotel Caprice. Although the entrance is in an odd place to get to from the main road from the Railway station (by the Catheadral) it does not take a great deal of genious to find it when following the intructions given when we booked. Our purpose in Cologne was simply to relax with the scenery and enjoy a sample of German-style life. The hotel on first site was moderately pleasing from the outside, ... ...chose, after greeting us in German that English would probably sort formalities out more quickly. (We only encountered one member of the reception staff unable to speak fluent English - appropriately he worked through the night !). The lobby was extremaly alluring - don't forget that free coffee is available to guests throughout the morning after breakfast (we didn't know at first). The room was of a pleasant size although our double bed consisted ...

Comfortable relaxing hotel.
Review of Crowne Plaza, Cologne by
sukeysukey
Advantages: Large luxury rooms, excellent breakfasts, fantastic service
Disadvantages: A little bit far out (but not too much!)
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Cologne for three nights over Christmas and had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing experience.
The pros:-
The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and we were able to check in around three hours prior to the official check in time as our flight arrived early morning. In fact throughout our stay the staff couldn't have done more for us - from the maid to the reception; the restaurant to the bar everybod was wonderful.
... ...so I was expecting a high standard. I've stayed at a number of four and five stars over the last few years and this ranked alongside them. It is quite a large hotel with two restaurants, a bar and leisure area. There are a considerable number of standard rooms, a few suites and a presidential suite. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded from a standard room to a suite on arrival and were also greated with complimentary fruit, drinks and newspapers.

Happy Holiday
Review of Le Meridien Dom Hotel, Cologne by
paulhaffer
Advantages: Wow amazing
Disadvantages: Too near to city!! Or is that an advantage???
What can I say this is a lovely hotel from start to finish.
The location cannot be beat, the dom cathedral is just outside the front door. The hotel looks great from the outside also.
Check in was easy and the staff were very welcoming. Once checked in our we were shown to our room and the luggage taken there. We were shown how to work things etc which was very useful.
Room was lovely a good size with king size bed, sitting area, desk, flat screen ... ...the power shower very good. Our room overlooked the fruh bar and restaurant and although it got very busy outside we were never bothered by the noise. Hardly heard the bells from the cathedral either.
Room service was good value and very nice. Arrived quickly as did the request for a bucket of ice. Check out very good taxi arranged for pick up later in the day and luggage stowed until departure all of this without asking. The front desk are extremely ...
