I have booked the hotel through Tingo where the hotel posted many nice pictures of the property. Also there were some positive reviews from other travellers. However, the reality turned out rather bleak. The hotel and its lobby look modern and new from the outside. The room, on the other hand, was very small with a very uncomfortable bed and... More

This was the first time that I stayed in this hotel during a business trip and it was really an amazing find. From the moment I got there and till the time I left, it was truly a wonderful experience. The room was beautiful and had all the latest gadgets.

Nice and clean hotel, just two blocks from the cathedral and Deutzer. Good breakfast as well. And it's very close to the old center. Weakness: it's not an easy task to park your car on the narrow streets around.

We spent one night in hotel Cristall on our train trip through Germany. Hotel is a very nice property and seems pretty new. We had a corner room on the first floor with two windows facing two different sides of the building. Both the room and the bathroom were extremely spacious and clean. There's a busy road and a train... More

No words to describe this traumatic hotel. A tiny little room , a tiny toilet as part of the tiny room - two windows forever closed, a curtain that cannot be closed - and a huge noise day and night because the hotel is located just over a turning of road - so the guests of this hotel are invited...

After a lot of discussion with my friend, I finally booked this place for three days to spend vacations in the city. It really turned out to be an excellent choice. It is a decent property very conveniently located near to the city center. Lovely staffs, pretty room, free wifi, comfortable bed, comfy pillows, mind blowing coffee and yummy snacks... More

I don't agree with the positive reviews of this place. It's got a fantastic location (5 min walk from the cathedral) true but that's abou it. Their toilet were smelly both in the room and the common toilets. Maybe they had a temporary problem with the sewage but it was awful and we had to always make sure the bathroom... More

You can not be more central than this in Cologne, Dom is walking distance, rail stations stone throw away. But good things stop here, actually confused with other rave reviews, unless there is a very recent renovation. Very unfreindly staff, one of our co-travellers could'nt make it but they charged 100% of room charge. Coming to the rooms , it... More

I can't add anything that has not already been said, but I feel it's important that hotels are given the consistent ratings that they deserve. For what we paid for two rooms for a long weekend break with our two children in Cologne, we were very satisfied. Unless your bags are unusually heavy or you are unfit, then walking to... More
