Such a shame when you are away on business and the hotel takes you for every penny (euro) they can! We travel to Cologne every year and each time we seem to need a different hotel due various issues. As for the value, the price is through the roof when big shows are on at the main exhibition centre. We... More

Paid €200 on Priceline Name Your Own Price. Ok, not great. Similar quality rooms to a La Quinta, but a 3.5* lobby. Room was too warm in Jan, even with Thermostat turned off. Room had heat only -- no AC or window opening. Double beds only -- no queens/kings -- and very low quality mattresses, linen and toiletries. That said,... More

we arrived late and check in staff were not that pleasant however we did get a room with a view of the Cologne Cathedral which was nice. The rooms are very drab though and old looking. It was clean but not very nice inside. The bathroom was quite small. It's a good hotel for sightseeing but that's about it. Apparenlty... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. We were on the 9th floor (accessed via lifts) and had a lovely view of the cathedral and one of the christmas markets. Yes, we could hear the road but it's to be expected on a busy junction and it didn't bother us in... More

In right location for Christmas markets as underground, tram and buses on doorstep and right across from Rudolplatz. Good restaurants within few minutes walk. Due to good locations there is quite a bit of traffic noise, so ask for a high room. Reception staff try and help but you may need some german to get by. Overall good. Didn't try... More

We stayed at Barcelo in December 2012 with a group. The hotel is not especially new, but its well kept and the rooms are clean and really big (the beds too). Breakfast was good with many different varieties to choose from. The service was overall nice and friendly. The location of the hotel is excellent - especially for Christmas market... More

Great location for all the main Christmas markets and night life. The room we had was HUGE and had a GREAT view of the Rudolph Platz and The Dom. When I say the room was huge ... it was probably 80 - 100 sqm. It had large conference table, a couch, and not just a desk but a nice 'office'... More

Pretty good location, close to great restaurants and walking distance to the Cathedral. The internet was free but terribly slow. Having parking charged to your room is a little annoying, you have to go to front desk every day to get a parking ticket that lets you out. More
