Room 413 was huge for what looked like a standard German business hotel on the outside. This hotel being one of the few highrises in Cologne has rooms with a nice view and I assume it gets only better the higher up you are. The hotel in general does not feel like all brand new, but bed was comfortable and... More

Spent a few days at the Barcelo, Cologne for a business trip. To be honest I was a little apprehensive as I had read some very mixed reviews on this site. Its true that the hotel could do with a bit of sprucing up. The lobby is rather cavernous and lacks much atmosphere and as previous reviewers have noted the... More

Stayed there for a business meeting. Breakfast is excellent, served until 13.00 on weekends, the meeting room comfortable, coffee breaks on time and of good quality. Very good and polite service from the desk to the cleaning lady. Rooms are spacious, although dated. Bed comfortable and free wifi a big plus. Located right in the middle of the gay area,... More

28.04.2012., 23:50 Dear, This is for the first time in my life, with more than 20 years of travelling, that I decided to write protest and complaint. Still can not belive what was happened to us in your hotel. We have booked the room few months ago. In our first room (823) air conditioning / cooling system did not work... More

Very nice choice for my last stay in Cologne. The hotel has the best location of the city. Very helpful staff, great breakfast. Rooms are no more do modern but big and with great views. Very comfortable bed and free wifi More

I stayed at this Hotel in March 2012. I made an online booling for one person but didn't pick up that their online system booked for 2 people. When I checked out I was unable to read the bill as it was in German. Upon my return to Australia I discovered that they had charged me 34 Euro per day... More

We stayed for 3 weeks in this hotel and dint find a single reason for saying not good. The hotel staff are English speaking and very much friendly. The food at the restaurant was also ok. This hotel is located in almost very happening place of Cologne. With much accessibility to shopping, various restaurants, super markets and ofcourse the Night... More

Stayed here many moons ago when it was the Crowne Plaza because of its location in the mixer of Cologne's nightlife. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of service and size of rooms considering the price paid (about half what it used to be). Staff were very helpful, the rooms were twice the size of the Hilton and they even... More

This review comes at 2.20 in the morning. The outside noise - trams, cars, pedestrians talking (not even shouting) is so pervasive that sleep has become impossible. In over 25 years of business travel, I have never complained about a hotel, but this defeats the basic requirement of being able to sleep - hence the terrible score, in spite of... More
