Radisson Blu is centrally located in Cologne, and has decent rates for the business traveller. Two criticisms: Pillows are thin and uncomfortable, and there are too few staff to deal with check-in, and most importantly check-out, in the morning. Having to stand in a line for several minutes to check out is particularly irritating when checking out in the morning,... More

As usual a very nice experience.. Excellent location in walking distance to fair grounds. Very busy hotel during all fair periods, where also prices go dramatically up... Paid 375 € for one night incl. breakfast. Check business rates for half price parking as well. Be aware of some noise from bar area and elevators for rooms facing atrium/hall. All in... More

Radisson Blu, Cologne Ideally placed for the Messe exhibition centre and also the LanXess Arena – although nether were the reason I chose it! This was because it was a Radisson, reasonably priced in Köln … and I knew I would be assured of a certain level of service and facilities. I was actually working at the Coloneum TV Studios... More

I have stayed in Radisson Blu properties across Germany, which is why I chose this one, but it is not really up to standard. The guest room is quite comfortable and bright (unless they try to give you one of the strange 5th floor rooms that are blocked by a concrete wall); in fact there is even an electronic shutter....

Dear ManyTravels55, Thank you for your honest feedback. I reget that we were not able to fully meet your expectations. Due to the fact, that our property is not less than 10 years old some signs of usage are unpreventable. Also, it is a pity that our "Super Breakfast" was not to your liking.

We reserved a week-end in this hotel through a bargain website. Hence, we had excellent value for money as far as the accomodation is concerned. The location is somewhat off the tourist track, although in nice weather it takes only 20 minutes to walk to the city center over the railway bridge. The tramway stop is just outside the hotel...

This hotel is top notch for a stopover in Cologne or a longer stay. We chose this place as it had a cheap price (£60) for 1 night and we needed something to stay when stopping off in Cologne. The hotel is absolutely fine in every respect - the rooms and lobby are very modern and functional, reception staff friendly,... More
