Our greeting on arrival was cool and not the most welcoming that we have received. The restaurant was expensive, but breakfast was lovely. We found that the walk into town was ok if you followed the river and had no problem finding the Christmas markets. I would agree that it is more of a business hotel but the cost of... More

Stayed there last Dec with family (2 children). Chose the hotel due to its location as we were there for the Christmas Markets. Stayed for 4 nights. The room was spacious but very basic furniture. It had some extras (safe, kettle with coffee and tea, minibar). It would benefit of a renovation, specially the carpets. However the breakfast was excellent... More

This hotel is about a 10 or so minute walk into town (when we visited in the winter it was quite a cold & slippery walk) Rooms were what you would expect from Novotel & even has a little gym for exercise. Id class this hotel as more of a business hotel & there would probably be some better options... More

Was very happy with this hotel. They cater for young children with a play area and Xbox in the lobby. You can sit in the bar and enjoy a drink and watch your children play from a distance. The room was nice with a double bed for my wife and I and a double sofa bed for my 6yr old... More

Nice location, fairly close to the city center and only 20 minutes to central train station. Very hospitable staff and cafe-bar atmosphere is very friendly. This hotel with its modern design was comfortable enough to spend my time in Cologne. The room could have been a bit more spacious but nicely decorated. More

This is another nice and pleasant Novotel Hotel situated along a river. Check in was fast and trouble free and front desk staff English speaking, friendly and professional. We were given 2 rooms facing the river which was quite nice. Hotel rooms were as usual Novotel standard, clean and comfortable. Didn't use any of the hotel facilities including the restaurants...
