Hotels near Adventgemeinde Köln-Mitte, Cologne

There was no air conditioning (AC) even though the hotel advertised as having it. Their excuses was that it was too cool at night to operate the AC for the hotel even though it was actually very warm outside. Translation: the entire hotel is either on heat or AC, they are too frugal to allow use of the advertised AC, or their system is outdated and does not actually work properly. Very hot and stuff room. The odd thing was is that the hotel lobby seemed to have AC. The hallways and room were uncomfortably hot. Upon checking in there was only a little bit of toilet paper was left on the roll. Fortunately there was an extra roll provided. Only a few sheets of Kleenex were in the box. Also, the hand soap dispenser was nearly empty. It seems not much care is given to the rooms between guests. On our last day the housekeeper knocks on the door early in the morning even tough the “do not disturb” sign was hung on the door. It was a basic room with furnishings that included a desk, a small round table, 2 small nightstands, a desk chair, and one sitting chair. There was no usable refrigerator, just a mini bar. The was only one suitcase rack situated in the closet. We had to use the sitting chair for our other suitcase. The beds were not too comfortable. Also the pillow case did not completely cover the pillow, so your head might rest upon the exposed portion of the pillow where the lasts hundreds of guest placed their heads. Bathroom was OK but a bit smelly. The shower had low water pressure. Some water will leak out under the shower door to the floor. Stepping over the high tub with a slippery shower floor is a bit precarious. Internet speed was 3.81 Mbps in both upload and download, with 8 ms latency. The location is near the chocolate museum and a good pizza and pasta restaurant is nearby. The cathedral is less than a mile away. At almost 400 euros a night, it was very expensive for a poor experience. Perhaps HN stands for “Not Happy.”

Booked this hotel for our family of four (2 adults 2 teens) for a 3 night city break in cologne.First impressions after an €8 taxi journey from the train station was , very clean , modern and friendly desk staff.The location is great , short walk to the chocolate museum and even the city centre if you are relatively fit.All down the promenade at the side of the Rhine.Rooms bright and modern with excellent TV and air con.Rewe supermarket a short walk If you want essentials or cheap continental grab and go breakfast. Only slight negative was the blonde lady working the bar seemed to get slightly frustrated when I was going to the bar to keep ordering drinks for our party (yes I drink a lot 😀) but that is her job.She wasn’t too bad the day after though and the rest of the staff were great.I wouldn’t hesitate booking this hotel again.Thank you Novotel for helping make a great trip.

We made a reservation for this hotel somewhere in April but due to corona we where not allowed to visit Köln. So we rebooked this hotel for August (instead of 3 nights now 2 nights, but we allready paid it for three nights). The communication via email is great!! Quick response. A couple of days in front of our arrival we received an email about the breakfast (which was included). The did not serve a regular breakfast due to corona but instead of this coffee and tea and a croisoint was provided for free in the bar. About our room we had a upgrade and the room was big. And we had a balcony 😍😍. But to be honoust for a 4 star hotel we missed some things. Booking promised us slippers,bathrope etc. But it wasn’t there. No bath only. Shower. No fridge.... What i said. Breakfast was a coffee and croisant served at the bar but we had to wait a while for this 😞. Also due to corona the rooms will not be cleaned. If you wants new coffee capsules, towels, etc, you have to ask at the reception. We asked for new coffee capsules en hot the answer that it was only offered as welcoming.......after saying it was mentioned in the elevator we got some new ones. By the wat the location of the hotel is great. And as last. The lady of the reception asked us to pay an amount of money for the change of rate for the room. Although it was some euro’s we allready payed enough. Normally this weekend we should have payed about 150 euro......we payed 285 euro’s. So why should we pay the difference rate of the room. I give this hotel 3 out of five but it should have been 2,5. I don’t think i will visit this hotel again....

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

Location good, everything clean, rooms maintained and attractively furnished. It would be nice if you don't have to try to fail to connect your iPhone to the TV for 2 hours. Breakfast is rich and pleasant long, please don't come here every 2 minutes to clean, that's a little nervous. The reception is unfortunately over-required with the smallest problem (unfortunately, it would also be appropriate to believe the guest again and again when he reports where he booked something. He usually knows it better than any funny “system”). Otherwise, and yet a successful stay with improvement potential.

The check-in could be more swift and in a slightly more polite tone. The smallest room has plenty of space for one night, the bathroom could be more functional with more storage options, the shower is amazing. The unpleasant surprise came the next morning when breakfast was ”delivered”, which is to be taken literally as it handed out in a cartonage box. Inside were two sandwiches (ham and salami), one hard-boiled egg and fruits. If that's not to your taste - tough luck! Do not get me wrong: I can live with terrible breakfast, I am okay to (over)pay for good/halfway acceptable breakfast, but for 14€ I expect a level of choice that goes beyond vegan, vegetarian or normal. If you hope for that to have changed in the future, I also have to disappoint you: The receptionist was well-aware of the fact that this offer is a rip-off.

We had 5 rooms during Orgatec Exhibition. Hotel was new, employees were kind, breakfast was good and in general it was a clean hotel. It is not in city center but really easy to reach Rudofplatz or Heumarkt with 2 Tram Lines and it takes only 5 stops. Also there were some restaurant and supermarkets around for our needs. Therefore we enjoyed our stay in hotel. Only thing which was negative, you need to inform reception each morning for cleaning rooms. Otherwise it was not cleaned. (we are not informed about this during check-in so we learned that after first day) Despite we informed that for each day, second day of our stay 2/5 rooms are not cleaned. Except this, it was all well clean

400e for 2 nights for 2 rooms is a crazy amount of money for an ibis Budget. Just paid 100e less for a Lovely house in Bruges! However, hotel prices in Koln were incredibly high family of 5 we had little choice . Did the job but certainly not worth that amount of money. It was clean, comfy beds and powerful showers as a positive. Let's be honest thank goodness it was at that price. Good location outside of the LEZ zone and a quick hop onto the tram 8 mins walk away.

We booked this hotel for our first night in Cologne as my husband wanted to see the cars / Formula 1 memorabilia at Motorworld. As we were in Cologne without a car, we decided to book this car-themed hotel for one night. The room was huge - very comfortable bed and pillows. The location was good; we were able to easily navigate from the Central station to this hotel. The hotel has a car theme, and the designers really put a lot into it. From the hotel room ceiling to the elevator (we loved the vroom vroom as the elevator ascended to the floors), it was very cool. The Sunday breakfast was very expensive at 24 Euros per person, however it was incredibly plentiful and included sparkling wine to make Mimosas. There are several restaurants but they were all very busy on a Saturday night; if you plan to eat there, make a reservation. We were lucky to get a table, and if we had not, not having a car would have been an issue. We were happy to stay for a night.

Breakfast is not bad The hotel is a bit old, but still clean Convenient transportation Parking is charged, it would be better if it was free The hotel is large and the rooms are not small. Overall OK
