Top Innenstadt Hotel Reviews

CityClass Hotel am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing room with a view of the cathedral. The only challenge was dragging our luggage up and down the stairs from the parking garage and then into the hotel."

Hyatt Regency Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Came to Cologne for an event so was not at hotel much. Started with an excellent 90 minute massage and then use the spa facilities. Hot tub was a bit cool for my liking but otherwise it was awesome. Beds are super comfortable and housekeeping are very efficient. Happy I chose the Regency Club floor. Breakfast was also very good and they catered to Gluten-Free."

Cologne Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, spacious, and beautiful. Every day there were nice little amenities in the lobby like some candy or bottled water. Every employee we came into contact with was helpful, kind, and informative. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and quiet. We loved the area and were only minutes from the train station and the cathedral. The breakfast was delicious and had lots of options. We loved our stay!"
