Cheap Hotels in Cologne

"Great value for money. The hotel and room were very good. The bed was huge and very comfortable."

"The hotel room was quite spacious, but it's really far from the airport. There's a shuttle from Airport Terminal 2 that runs every half hour during peak times, and hourly in the mornings and evenings. After getting off, it's about a 10-minute walk through what looks like a residential area. Aside from the distance, the hotel itself is pretty good. There's also a train station and bus hub about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, which is convenient enough."

"As a frequent traveler, I found this hotel to have a very distinct character. The pros are: 1. It's quite close to the station, though still a six or seven-minute walk; 2. The decor is very stylish, with thoughtful design and quality materials, and well-considered placement of outlets and lighting; 3. The bedding and pillows are excellent; 4. The rooftop offers an unbeatable view. However, the cons are equally obvious: 1. The double-layered curtains don't block out light and are covered in stains. It was so disgusting that we even cleaned them with alcohol ourselves; 2. The double room only came with one chair. They could easily add a folding chair; 3. The water pressure is incredibly strong, which is great, but because the floor is too flat and the shower partition isn't wide enough, water splashes all over the floor during a normal shower; 4. There are no water glasses or a kettle in the room. You have to go downstairs to get water. In Germany, this is typically the setup you'd find in a cheaper business hotel, but this hotel's price point isn't cheap. Other brand hotels at this price usually have kettles and coffee machines in the rooms. This was the worst hotel in terms of value for money (price vs. amenities) during my entire European trip. And because I had to get hot water at least twice a day, one staff member was extremely impatient, even openly showing it, which was terrible service; 5. Coffee is actually free from 11:30 PM to 11:30 AM, but the staff didn't proactively mention it. One even claimed it wasn't free after 6:00 AM and required payment. I feel the hotel could really improve on this point; they should just be more generous. I wouldn't consider staying at a hotel like this again unless the price was a third lower. Also, breakfast is 19 Euros per person. The information on Ctrip is completely wrong and it's very mediocre, not worth it. You can buy good bread and organic cold cuts from the supermarket and bakery next door for less than five Euros."

"I'm heading to this hotel tomorrow for the fourth weekend in a row for a training course in Cologne. I feel very comfortable here, and the hotel is super nice, modern, and well-furnished. Everything is still new and very clean. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The direct access to the S-Bahn is also excellent, getting you to the city center quickly. I can definitely recommend it and will book it more often for future visits to Cologne."

"I stayed at this hotel for two nights during my trip to Cologne and had a very satisfying experience. The family room I booked was incredibly spacious, and the breakfast was also good. What stood out most was the incredibly friendly staff; they were always enthusiastic and helpful when I had questions. I would definitely choose the Hilton Cologne again on my next visit!"

"We had a great 3 night stay at this hotel. The hotel is in a great location, approx 10 minutes walk to the old town / river etc. There are also lots of options nearby for morning coffee, pastries, drinks etc. The room was excellent. The hotel is spotless, room was very comfortable, good air con, and a lovely touch with nespresso coffee machine in each room along with a small minibar that is included as part of your stay and re-stocked. A really nice touch - thank you. All in all cannot fault and would highly recommend."

"Superb stay at a lovely hotel! The location, staff, and service were all top-notch! The little birthday surprise from the hotel was unexpected and so incredibly thoughtful 🥰 The view from my room of the Cologne Cathedral was particularly stunning. I'll gladly book this hotel again for my next trip to Cologne. Many thanks to the entire team, from the garage entrance to check-out! 😀🙏"

"The bed was small, perfect for business use. It's close to the subway, so it's a good choice for visiting the Dusseldorf Convention Center, about a 40-minute drive away. There's a large supermarket near the hotel, where pork knuckles and roast chicken are quite affordable. The roast chicken is especially good, highly recommended!"

"Built in 1999, the hotel has an older design but is well-functioning. We booked a room with a church view, which was spacious. However, the bathroom only offered a 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash, which doesn't quite meet the standards of similarly priced hotels in the city. A rather interesting feature is the grand lobby; at first glance, I thought it was a shopping mall! The piano bar on the first floor had a great atmosphere in the evening, until we realized the music seemed to be from a speaker and not actually played by a person, haha (or maybe the pianist had just finished their shift when we passed by)."

"The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center and next to a bustling shopping street. Public transport is convenient, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. However, it was a real shame that when I stayed in late June, the air conditioning in my room wasn't working. No matter what I set it to, the room temperature stayed at 28-29 degrees Celsius. I couldn't even use a sheet at night without sweating. They offered to show me another room, but it was just as hot. I'd recommend avoiding this place."
