The bathroom of our room had areas of ‘moss’ or ‘black spots ’ that need scrubbing out. Breakfast was fantastic and delicious

8/10 Very good

Good location but they should clean better. 1st room had food under the bed. 2nd floor was dusty. Overall hotel should be renovated. Staff was nice.

Excellent services from hotel staff especially Alex, he was exceptional nice, polite and very friendly. We had a little issue with the room central heating unit and he promptly provided us with 2 portable heater to keep us comfortable at night. In addition, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean and the service were very good.
Son, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Actually a little south of the traditional Altstadt area of Cologne. You definitely need to be ready to walk if you want to hot the Dom area. Parking exists but in a separate building around the corner. Very tight and small parking spaces.
Raymond, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very busy but the rooms were superbly quiet and comfortable. The only slight issue was that even with the aircon turned to minimum the room was still quite warm. But excellent value and perfect for what we needed. A good option was that in exchange for not having our room cleaned, we got two free drinks vouchers which we exchanged in the bar the next day. Brilliant!
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really enjoyed this property, was an easy walk to many of Cologne’s landmarks, shopping and restaurants. My one complaint would be with the pillows, which were terrible, flat and no support might as well have not had one. Would we stay again, only if they get better pillows or at least ones that are not ready for the trash can
Joshua, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful breakfast. Helpful staff. Nice free drink for not having room cleaned idea. Easy to access 3 of the Christmas markets and public transport. Room 102 was a little noisy. It also lacked a bath and I had booked a room that had a bath listed.

Charbel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not the right information at the check in, they did not tell that the breakfast was almost the same price as the stay!!! I will never come back, the hotel is so grey, everything is grey in the corridors; floors, wall, doors....no color nowhere. Not very friendly staff, only one person the night we checked in.
carolien, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Forget the energy crisis, this hotel is a 1000 degrees inside. As well as the lobby, hallways and the room it is like a sauna. Unfortunately the AC in the room only blows hot air! Therefor we opened the window in our room, but we were not able to sleep because of the enormous amount of noise coming from the road next to the hotel. The staffmember the next day wasn't helpfull at all, will not return to NH again.

10/10 Exceptional

First time in Köln

The hotel was amazing from the start felt so welcome and comfortable when speaking to the staff, the hotel room was beautiful spacious and so clean, the hotel explain if you put on the door you do not want your room clean the hotel give you a coupon for a free drink at the bar which I think is lovely. They have a mini shop in the hotel from chargers to plugs to sweets chocolates and drinks, the have room service and they are very quick & efficient.
Stevie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really decent hotel, had absolutely no issues here and it's right next to the chocolate museum. Little walk to the cathedral/main restaurant area. If you have the window open you can hear road traffic, but very soundproofed with the windows closed and generally comfortable.
Sarah, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Das Zimmer war schön, nur das Bad bräuchte eine Renovierung. Die Tiefgarage war sehr eng und leider auch sehr Teuer.
Claudio, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

had a disappointing experience at NH Köln. The toilet was broken, and the bathroom door didn’t close properly, which was very inconvenient. The room was poorly equipped – no toothbrush, no robe for the toilet, and other basic amenities were missing. Additionally, the room card didn’t work well and kept causing issues. Overall, not the standard I expected from this hotel. Definitely not worth the price.
