We stayed two nights in early May. Martina in Reception very efficient and helpful, both before our trip when I was sending emails, and during our stay. We found all the staff to be very courteous and friendly. After a long flight, we arrived at the hotel about two hours before check in. However, we only had to wait about... more

The hotel is roughly a 7 euro taxi journey from the central train station and when we arrived I was not alarmed at the fact that that hotel did not look stunning from the outside due to having read lots of good things about it on this website. Having stayed at the hotel for two nights I was very impressed... more

We stayed in Cologne for 2 nights ($140/night) with the intention to use it as a base for sightseeing in the area. As it turned out, we had to spend most of our time in Cologne, but the Hotel Lyskirchen made our stay very pleasant. The location is great - situated right along the Rhine River and adjacent to the... more

This hotel was in a great location; walking distance to stores and the cathedral. We were there during carnival celebrations thinking we would be disturbed by noise from the people celebrating, but it was really quiet. The rooms were very modern and clean. We were very pleased, will stay there again for sure. more

We had breakfast some days (wonderful selection of food and plenty) and others we went out. Cologne has plenty of places to see and eat with good quality... more

Booked this through TripAdvisor based on the reviews and agree wholeheartedly that this is a great hotel. Apparently it was refurbished for the World Cup and they did an excellent job. It's close enough to the city centre to walk and the rooms are large with excellent beds. Breakfast is very good, but unlike most European hotels is charged extra... more

Visited Cologne for 4 nights with my wife over the last weekend in August 07 and stayed at the Lyskirchen. The hotel has a friendly and informal feel about it. The staff are very keen to help in any way they can and always have a smile on there face. I asked for more pillows and they were delivered in... more

Having somehow taken 15 minutes to walk to the hotel through backstreets from the station, the hotel is not particularly striking from the outside but once inside it is an excellent hotel. It has had an overhaul and the rooms and corridors were immaculate, no scuff marks or tied looking decor. The room, whilst not huge was contemporary, had its... more
