I recently went to Germany for a fortnight and this was (quite unexpectedly) my favourite hotel of five places we stayed. The breakfast was really outstanding (a massive array of hot foods, fruits, cake, juices, pancakes, salad and cold cuts); there was free wifi, the reception staff were lovely; and the rooms were large, light, clean, airy and comfy. Nice... More

The hotel overall was generally good, ideally situated for easy access to the trains and the DOM cathedral. The room was of a good size with all the equipment you could desire for a short stay, we found the beds uncomfortable and the pillows also. In our room 214 the toilet has a bad stain which really needs replacing. The... More

Couple of minutes walk from the station and 1 minute walk to the U-Bahn.. there is also another hotel next to the station with the same name but a Great Western.. very easy to go to the wrong one!! The hotel is quite small but the staff are very friendly and helpful. Tourist info and maps of the city are... More

I chose the hotel for its proximity to the Hauptbahnhof as it's less than a minute away. It is therefore also very close to the Dom and one of the main shopping streets - Hohe Strasse so its location can not be faulted. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, apart from perhaps an uber efficient individual at breakfast who... More

I had not read any reviews on this hotel until 30secs ago. I would totally endorse that review of Sphinx12. Location, interior, management all excellent. A pity I had such a short time there.

We have just returned from a Christmas Market trip to Cologne and stayed at the Grand City Hotel. After reading a few negative reviews before we went we were wondering what it would be like. We need not have worried. This is a gem of a hotel. Lovely staff, wonderful breakfast with a great deal of choice. Very convienent for... More

This hotel is within a 10 minute walkign distance from the trains tation and Cathedral. We visited during the time of the Christmas markets, which are well worth a visit. Rooms are clean and tidy albeit a bit on the small side, however it was extremely hot and there was no thermostat within each of the rooms. Since it was... More

Had a good sized room at the back of the hotel (overlooking a coutyard) that was very quiet, warm and clean. The choice at breakfast was very good, the staff were very friendly and the hotel was less than a ten minute walk from the train station (with U Bahn station for the 5, 16 and 18 lines less than...

Hotel was well situated only 10minutes walk from the cathedral. The rooms were reasonably sized but slightly worn and used. The breakfast spread was fair; nice selection of hot and cold foods and the staff were efficient and friendly. The only negative thing was that at night the rooms facing the railway station were noisy and often disturbed by street... More
