3-Star Hotels in Cologne

The hotel location was great, and so close to the subway for easy transport into the city. When I made the reservation, it did not indicate that parking was an additional fee, just that there was parking. Not that parking was very much, but I don't recall seeing a fee posted on the booking website, and it was jusy unexpected. The room was sufficient- a tiny bit smaller than expected. And the room had a slight sour smell, not sure if it was mildew or just stuffy from the winter west weather, but we were only there one night, so we didn't fuss. The check-in staff spoke less english than expected, but was okay, as my Deutsch was just good enough we could meet in the middle. Breakfast was a good spread and the attendants were plenty.

When I was checking in, I was a little worried the staff would be unable to speak English. However the two receptionists who helped me were perfectly fluent and answered any questions I had. I did unfortunately have to pay a city tax on top of my room, but it wasn’t expensive and this is a common thing in most hotels in Europe. The room itself was pretty decent and had plenty of space for my suitcase and to walk around. The en-suite was great and had good towels and hot shower. The bed was comfy with a good mattress and duvet wise, but the pillows were a bit limp and didn’t have a lot in them. I spoke to another member of staff who spoke little English, who said he’d look and bring one to my room, but this never happened. Whatever the case, still had a good sleep, would have better with extra head comfort. As for breakfast, there was a great variety of choice from fry-up food (bacon, sausages, eggs) to continental pastries and drinks. I would say the only downside was there was not enough for fruit, as there was only a few apples and plates of sliced oranges. Would have been better if there was more to choose fruit wise, but everything else was great and was a good fuel up for the day in Cologne. When checking out, they also allowed me to place my luggage and bags in their storage room with zero charge which is great when you’re exploring for the day and have a later departure time. Overall, if you’re in Cologne for a day (like me) or two, this place is a great option and I would stay here again!

I had a great stay at Hotel Flandrischer Hof! The location is excellent — right in the heart of Cologne and just a short walk from everything I needed. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which made it easy to relax after a busy day. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty with a good variety. I’d definitely stay here again next time I visit the city. Great value for the price!

The location is very good, and it took a few minutes to walk out of the train station with large luggage. It is actually a small suite, the room is very clean and tidy, with complete facilities, and those who say that this is not provided and that are not provided, many European hotels are like this, environmentally friendly, you need to find the front desk. The breakfast at this price is very good. I was surprised. The young lady who had breakfast is very kind and friendly, and the uncle who checked out was also very happy.

Having Turkish staff at the hotel was no problem for me at all. The room attendants were very kind and polite. The hotel breakfast was good. The only downside was that the toilet was outside the room, but since it was private, I had no issues whatsoever. The hotel's location was excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Cologne Central Station. In short, I was very satisfied and will definitely come back again.

My stay at Essential by Dorint Köln-Junkersdorf was quite good overall. Here's a brief summary for your reference: Room Environment: The room was spacious and bright with excellent natural light, and clean and tidy. The bed was a comfortable firmness, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, which was convenient. Dining Experience: The breakfast had a variety of choices, Western-style, including stir-fried vegetables and hot dishes! Service Attitude: The front desk staff were friendly and polite, and the check-in/check-out process was quick! Cons: We only checked in and checked in to park and unload our luggage, and the front desk said the parking lot downstairs was outsourced, and we were charged 7 euros for parking for over an hour!!!!! Later, we noticed that parking on the nearby street was free. Free water was only provided for check-in guests, but the amount was reduced~~~ It used to be a large bottle.

The hotel was nice if you're visiting Köln. But i guess we just had experienced a scary situation where someone was trying to Unlock the door at around 9pm when we're about to sleep. We got scared. Then when we heard that, i asked who's trying to open the door and it was a Family with 2 kids, so the receptionist gave us the wrong key for our booked room and they gave the Family the wrong key but with the same room number. No explanation was made what really happened at that exact moment from the receptionist , got no time to go down and ask the reception since we're tired from that day. But ofcourse we're already bothered and scared about that.

I would say this is most probably the cheapest stay in town with great breakfast. The location is bear to chocolate museum and shopping street. It’s a 20 minute walk to the cologne cathedral.

Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with good value for money. Minor check-in hiccup with an unclean room, but staff handled it quickly and professionally. Good value overall—practical, reliable, and convenient for short stays.

Disappointed in standard of hotel, on arrival was told all parking was booked out. Room on 3rd floor was small with unwanted extra bed taking up spare space. Bathroom was adequate with shower over bath which had a high step in and no handholds barely adequate shower curtain did not stop water spilling onto floor. Noisy location next to lift and noise from adjacent hotel late into night twice with patrons waking us up at 2am on return to room's. Breakfast was ok with reasonable choice, plenty of black coffee. Overall would not choose to stay again even at budget pricing.
