Cologne Hotels > 3 Stars Cologne Hotels

Eat, drink and suffer in comfy Bonn surroundings

Advantages: Nice internal surroundings, friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices
Disadvantages: In the middle of nowhere unless you need the airport

...was two nights in the Holiday Inn at Bonn/Cologne Airport, situated on a busy dual carriageway, totally inaccessible by foot. The reception area was remnant of many four star hotels in the UK, and the seating areas, public facilities and corridors were modern, clean and well signposted (in a couple of languages including English), everything, as I have come to expect from our German friends was well maintained. The reception area information racks ...
...were free German newspapers, ice supply and shoe cleaners on every floor. THE ROOMS The rooms themselves were superb. Warm, and very spacious with two double beds, and as you would expect were en-suite, with bath and shower. The room did have a remote controlled TV with limited english TV channels and a mini-bar. Arriving at the hotel, equipped with a small jar of Gold-Blend, I discovered (shock, horror) that there was no kettle in the room. I ...

Review of Holiday Inn Cologne-Bonn Airport, Cologne

Enjoy Cologne

Advantages: Close to Cologne Cathedral and shopping areas
Disadvantages: Breakfast expensive 14 euros per person per day

We booked this hotel throuigh accorhotels.com and it certainly wasn't expensive for the class of hotel. We drove through France to Cologne and found the hotel easily, because it is on a main road. There is a public car park under the hotel which costs 10 euros per day or 1.50 euros per hour, so it could work out expensive if you took the car in and out. We found no reason to take the car anywhere, becauae verything we wanted was within a short walk. ...
...receptionist who spoke extremely good english. She gave us the choice of a smoking or non smoking room, offered us a tourist map and asked if we needed any information about Cologne. The room was very nice, with air conditioning , internet connection, min bar, room service, television, a supply of shampoo etc, towels and a view over the outside bar area. There was a little packet of Haribo sweets on each of the twin beds, which was a nice little ...

Review of Mercure Köln Severinshof, Cologne

A NIGHT IN THE MUSIC MUSEUM - COLOGNE

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 ...

Review of Hotel Viktoria, Cologne

Fabulous 4* Fun - Free Chocolate Included

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). ...

Review of Novotel Köln City, Cologne

A three night stay at Hotel Caprice

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 ...
