I am a regular visitor to Cologne and the Barcelo hotel. The main reason I stay at this hotel is the ideal location in the centre of the vibrant Rudolphplatz area as well having direct access to the Cologne Tram system. Hotel is located 10 minute stroll to the Old town / Rheine / Dom area. The hotel is looking... More

I stayed here for one night, and was neither impressed nor disappointed. The room was small, but clean. The service was decent, but they clearly were not going out of their way to assist any guest. The outside of the building is quite ugly and plain, but the rooms are average. You can walk to the cathedral in about 15... More

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

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
