Steigenberger Hotel Köln

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed during a particularly hot spell and the AC was a life saver so much so I stayed in my room during 37c afternoon in complete comfort. Also the fitness centre was better than I’d expected - even having some free weights and a bench. Enough to keep myself going whilst away. A great stay."
