Top hotels in Südstadt
Maritim Hotel Köln
Lovely hotel and great location. Stones throw away from the main area. We had a road side room with a view of the Cathedral and was surprisingly quiet.

Novotel Köln City
Such a relaxed stay. All the staff were so helpful and friendly - reception, breakfast, housekeeping. Our flight was cancelled and the hotel gave us the same rooms for an extra night without any fuss.
