Hotel berhampiran Fröbelplatz, Cologne

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Leonardo Royal Hotel am Stadtpark in Köln sehr „klotzig“. Etwas nach hinten versetzt von einer Hauptstraße gelegen, wird kommt es einem wie ein Bürokomplex vor. Kommt man dann aber ins Hotel wandelt sich das Bild. Man wird in einer ansprechenden Lobby empfangen und trifft dort auch auf das sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Personal an der Rezeption. Der Service hier war wirklich erstklassig, wir durften bereit kurz vor 12 Uhr einchecken, da das Zimmer bereit bezugsfertig war. Unser Zimmer lag auf der Rückseite mit grandiosem Blick auf einen See im Kölner Stadtpark. Das Zimmer selbst war sehr ordentlich und sauber und ausgezeichnet ausgestattet (Kühlschrank, TV, Kaffeemaschine, Tablet & WiFi und auch mit Schminkspiegel und Föhn im geräumigen Wannenbad). Erwähnenswert ist auch das sehr angenehme Kingsizebett mit toller Matratze (ich habe schon lange nicht so gut geschlafen). Das Frühstücksbuffet lässt ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen, ist sehr umfangreich, international und bietet alles was „State of the Art“ sein sollte. Das Hotel ist durch seine Lage unmittelbar im Kölner Stadtpark sehr ruhig. Fußläufig erreichbar gibt es eine Straßenbahnhaltestelle für den Trip in die Kölner City und ist somit ausgezeichnet geeignet für einen Städtetrip in die Domstadt.

Closest location to Hauptbahnhof, the church, tourists spots, do not mind to ask the staff some more Should visit again Hhonors Thada

Location is about 10 mins walk away from the station (there an uphill but it is okay) the staffs are friendly and the room was good but the sheets and towels had stains on them. They also do not have a boiler sadly. View from hotel was good.

Hotel ligt vlak bij de Dom en het centraal station in een rustige straat en beschikt over een eigen parkeergarage (tegen betaling) die wel vrij nauwe ingang en nauwe parkeerplekken heeft. We arriveerden tegen het middaguur; onze business comfort met 2 separate bedden kamer was reeds gereed. Inchecken verloopt snel en effectief in de kleine receptie. De kamer beschikt over een badkamer met baddouche en toilet. Er is een raam dat open kan. Ondanks dat de kamer aan de straatzijde op 1e etage ligt is deze rustig. Er is koffie thee op de kamer beschikbaar. Vlak naast de receptie ligt de grote ruimte waar het ontbijtbuffet met ruim voldoende keuze geserveerd wordt. Vanuit het hotel loop je binnen 5 minuten via de stationshal het stadscentrum met alle belangrijke bezienswaardigheden (waaronder de Dom van Keulen) in. Er zijn voldoende restaurants in de omgeving; het hotel heeft geen restaurant voor lunch of diner.

Our stay was AMAZING! We enjoyed the view from our hotel room, we would love to visit again definitely. The front desk staffs are friendly and carpark nearby.

The hotel is located beside the train station. There are many restaurants nearby and the cathedral is not too far away. The staffs were a little weird. They tried to be funny but maybe something was lost in translation and made us feeling uncomfortable. One of the staffs didn’t understand our question in English, but instead of trying to understand our question, she insisted her answer which left us more confused. Another staff completely ignored us when we were trying to talk to him because he was “busy” doing something else behind the desk although he made a lot of uncomfortable jokes at the beginning.

Location was superb. Walking distance to train station, cathedral, shopping area… you name it. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was good. Pillow was a bit strange - just a flat square but room was comfortable. Little to no noise from the outside. Bathroom small but adequate. Was quite difficult to control water temperature but once you figure it out you’re all set. Overall a very good stay, would book a room here again

The pluses and negatives of this hotel are: Good Points: Premium location, the hotel is only a short 10 min walk down the hill and to the right from the station bringing you to a quiet courtyard 1 block back from the main Heumarkt square (left hand side of the square) A modern, boutique sized hotel Comfy bed Quiet from an outside noise perspective, especially given its next to the main bar / restaurant areas of Cologne Clean Negatives Pillows too soft Double rooms very compact with minimal storage space for luggage Walls very thin, you can hear every conversation clearly of your neighbours Continental breakfast at 15 euro was overpriced imo for the choice available if not included in room rate No bar/relaxation area to sit in, if you are wanting to use hotel facilities to relax No tea/coffee making facilities in room, kettle available on request Walk in shower was nice but as bathroom is so small you end up having a slippy floor, and be careful of the floor rails where the glass shower panel runs as raised and easy to trip over Mini bar was empty other than 2 complimentary bottles of water (not that we usually purchase from mini bar) but worth noting if you do Overall on a personal note we paid a high room rate for our particular 2 night break due to it been a peak weekend of events going on in Cologne which were unknown to us when we originally booked the flights and decided on this hotel. It was not worth 500 euros, I would say 350 / max 400, and this is mainly due to the location. Perfectly functional for a short break at the right price.

Sehr schönes Hotel und toller Blick vom Bett aus Nette Mitarbeiter und äußerst zuvorkommend Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert

This is an excellent hotel, with delicious and quality food and breakfast.The room was big enough, the stuff was very helpful and very polite. The facilities and the room are very clean and the location of the hotel is excellent, within the nature and with great view. Moreover, it’s just 10 minutes away by car, from the center of Cologne.
