art'otel cologne, Powered by Radisson Hotels, hotel in Cologne

This hotel is located on the River Rhine in Cologne’s historic city centre and features modern design, stylish rooms, free WiFi, and a large rooftop terrace.

Hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the city centre, there are a few shops and restaurants around the area. The staff were very helpful and friendly, our room was very clean and average size for a city hotel. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we didn't eat there also there is a small bar where you can sit and relax at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for a short stop over in the beautiful city of Cologne.

Hotel Santo, hotel in Cologne

This 4-star hotel is within a 10-minute walk from Cologne Cathedral, Cologne Main Station and the River Rhine.

I chose this hotel because it is close to the main train station and is easy to reach on foot. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, bed comfortable, I slept like a baby. The best thing, for me, was breakfast - butter croissants were the best I have ever tried in my life, I would come back just to try those again :) And I really liked that there was a luggage rack in the room

Aparthotel Adagio Köln City, hotel in Cologne

Situated in the heart of Cologne’s Old Town, these modern apartments are only a 10-minute walk from Cologne Cathedral. Each one comes equipped with a kitchen and free wired internet.

The location is very good, near to city center and very easy accessible by public transport, however once it's located next to the main street so you should expect some noises from outside specially those police, fireman and ambulances will make much noise ;). The room is good however you can't use those cooking felicities in the room because fire alarm will be turned on and you should be very careful about it (reception lady just warned us at the time of check-in) but you can get free coffee/tee in dining area. the room is clean and the bed is very comfortable. so generally it was all good but I won't back to this hotel in my next trip to Koln for sure.
