Cologne City Centre hotel

Best decision ever. Tried booking an organised holiday with a " holiday company" ( see my other reviews!!) and ended up doing the whole trip by myself and saving £700.! Firstly, location. 5 minute easy walk from Cologne railway station. Stayed in a premier plus room on the 1st floor. Now this is an "ADD ON" to the main building so you do go outside one door and in another for about 3 seconds. ! Room was huge, i was so happy, a 5 night stay is far more comfortable if you are not crammed into a poky stuffy room. AND my personal " big smile moment" you can open the windows as far as you want.!! no need for air con , just fresh air. AND i'm convinced the bathroom had under floor heating because it was nice and warm constantly. We also included breakfast in our stay as a treat. day one was a bit sketchy, no English tea bags and the bacon looked pale and undercooked. but day two , we had bought our own tea bags and used them, and as for the bacon.....just how i like it, virtually cremated.! excellent. It was quiet, no outside noise , however to be fair we were at the back of the building. you do also overlook a few small windows of houses opposite but you have net curtains and curtains should you wish for total privacy. the staff were friendly and said good morning each breakfast time. plenty of seating for both breakfast and evening chill out space. oh, and plenty of choice for breakfast both hot and cold. would i stay here again, definitely. Any bad points.............NO, A very happy 65 year old who's still in full working order.!

Nice hotel in a great location for the Christmas markets, which are only a short walk away, and the main train station which is only a 5 minute walk. Unfortunately our room was the smallest Premier inn room that we have ever stayed in with limited storage, and not enough space for a desk and chair. The room had a good powerful shower, although it did run cold one morning, but was sorted out promptly. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional, and breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold food.

The usual Premier Inn room with comfortable bed and just enough of what you need for a pleasant stay. About 10 minutes from the central station and with plenty of restaurants within minutes, this is a reasonably priced and convenient place to stay. Breakfast offered enough choices to please most people with hot and cold options. Unfortunately during my three breakfasts here, some items were not replenished quickly enough leaving empty dishes and people waiting for refills. That said, the quality was good and the staff were friendly and helpful and the waits were not too long. My only disappointment was that our bedroom room faced into ‘a courtyard’ type arrangement with rooms looking directly into each other. It made the room dark and we also did not want to open the curtains and put on the light as we were closely overlooked. As we spent only a small time in the room it was relatively easily managed and clearly not something the hotel had any control over.

We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of August and then decided to return again at the end of summer because of how amazing this stay was! The hotel is located 5 min walk from the train station and 10 min from the centre of town. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. But what really made this hotel was the staff for us, especially Akeni-John (hope this is spelt correctly) who went above and beyond in both visits to make us feel so welcome. They even remembered us on the second stay and welcomed us home. Absolutely the heart of the hotel! Would 100% stay again and recommend to all! Well done!

Room was as expected for Premier Inn Plus, coffee machine, fridge, power shower, great firm bed with plug/USB/wireless charging either side of the headboard. Clean and tidy throughout, newly refurbished some attention to detail missed (skirting boards not fitted properly - didn't affect the stay at all). The best thing about this place was the staff, couldn't fault them. Animatta (Anni) who worked on reception and also at the bar was exceptional! Nothing was too much trouble. Even when she couldn't accommodate us (no replacement water each day like Premier Inn in the UK) she took time to explain. 'Communication is the key' she said and she was right. Anything she could do was done with a smile. Thanks for looking after us.
