Hotel berhampiran Kölnpfad - Etappe 08, Cologne

A nice hotel with pleasant staff. It's a bit out of the way but accessible as long as you are happy to research the public transport. Has a McDonalds next door so you would never starve! And there is a Lidl a short walk away. The sofa/camp beds could possibly benefit from being updated as sitting/sleeping on those wasn't particularly comfortable but the main beds were comfortable. Breakfast was continental and pleasant. We would stay at the hotel again.

The wheels came off right at the start, when the entire hotel car park was taken up by other cars, some badly parked. So we went to the reception to enquire where one might park. But before we could find out the answer, which by the way was: ”You'll just have to park on the road, . . . if there is space!” we had to wait our turn while the reception staff was trying to sort out a couple of men who were given a double bed when they clearly wanted a twin room. “Aahh! Mr & Mrs X, here for 4 nights. We have your 2 rooms ready!” said the receptionist. Upon snapping out of my stunned disbelief I replied: “1 room!” “No, you ordered 2 rooms” “No, 1 room”. Out came our booking reservation printout. Then began what seemed like a 10-minute discussion between the receptionist and another staff member as to how this could have happened, whilst we were left standing there (after a 12 hour journey) totally ignored rather than just been given a room – any room – and then sorting it out between them. The room was nice enough. Basic but big enough with a good sized bathroom and a decent shower. Only one pillow per person and the beds were on the hard side but OK. On revisiting the reception the next morning (and every subsequent morning) we were asked if we are checking out, indicating that nearly everyone only stays for 1 night. On asking what we need to do in order to obtain a parking space the answer was to arrive back before the evening. The only one time we managed to do this was the day before actually checking out, when we were charged 4 Euros for the privilege of parking that night. At no time were we asked whether we enjoyed our stay or if everything was to our liking. This hotel used to be very nice and a real find, which probably accounts for the 4.5 star rating but has now been taken over by the Novum group.

Great location to view the quiet side of Cologne,lack of spacd in the underground park,but parking on the street can solve it all.

A young couple on the way, she likes music, he likes atomic fragmentation. Together they enjoy life. Nowhere we should forget our children, peace, God! We thanks the Niu Hotel for the jorney in Cologne. A smell without compare. A wish to come true.

Hotel in die Jahre gekommen, Zimmer sauber, Empfang freundlich, Frühstücksbüffet vielfältig, für jeden was dabei. Wellnessbereich klein, Schwimmbad benötigt eine Renovierung, wenig einladend, deshalb von uns nicht genutzt. Hotel ist von der Altstadt ein gutes Stück entfernt, aber mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar. Hotel bietet einen Parkplatz, das ist mit der größte Kritikpunkt. Parkplatz kostete 13€/Nacht. Am Ankunftstag konnten wir problemlos parken, Samstag und Sonntag war der Parkplatz völlig überfüllt, einige parkten in zweiter Reihe und quer über dem Gelände. Auf Nachfrage an der Rezeption wo ich denn nun für meine 13€ parken könnte, durften wir uns vor gekennzeichnete Garagen stellen. Vielleicht sollte man dann keine Parktickets mehr vergeben, wenn der Bereich eh so überfüllt ist. Alles in allem für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Ordnung.

Wij (moeder met 2 kinderen) hebben hier 1 nacht gelogeerd tussen bezoek Phantasiapark en dagje Keulen. Prima prijs, nette (kleine) kamer en voor €10,50 pp een ontbijt bijgeboekt. Ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid, de ruimte om te ontbijten erg ongezellig maar verder prima. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk. Geen overlast van de vliegtuigen (het ligt vlakbij het vliegveld) of ander verkeer vanwege zeer goed geïsoleerde ramen. Hotel ligt op 15m rijden vanaf centrum Keulen maar op 10m lopen kan je ook de trein nemen en je auto gratis bij het hotel laten staan. Voor 1 nacht zeker een aanrader.

Great price for a hotel in this location. The room is a bit limited in size but very clean and comfortable. Being located virtually right behind the Cathedral, this hotel is a nice choice if you want to walk around the city.
