CityClass Hotel am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Super emplacement, très propre et excellent service."

CityClass Hotel Alter Markt

8/10 Good

"Overall a very good hotel positioned in the Alter Markt. I overlooked the main square and the sound proofing was very good. I'd still advise earplugs though to prevent being disturbed by any late night noise from pub-goers. The hotel staff were very helpful and the housekeeping was good too. All very clean in the rooms. Bed and pillows were both very comfy and the bathroom was a good standard too. A couple of cons though: I travelled in May and couldn't set the air-con lower than 25(!), so turned it off and left the windows open all day. That's no good for nighttime though, so the room did get hot and stuffy. The rooms are very small with little room either side of the bed. Fine for a couple of nights but would feel claustrophobic if staying any longer."

Dorint Hotel am Heumarkt Köln

8/10 Good

"Top quality room and kind staff. Sadly at 29e the breakfast cost was much too high so I had to eat out for breakfast. Also make sure you ask for daily cleaning of rooms as I got an unpleasant surprise when I came back to my room after a long hard day at an exhibition. For some reason Dorint’s policy is to clean rooms every second day!!!! I have travelled all over the world and never come across this even in 3rd world countries. Also sad that you have to pay a large amount to use the indoor pool. But nice places to eat nearby, very nice and spacious room with tea making facilities and walking distance to the wonderful Cathedral and station."
