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.

It's clean and nice! It's close to Cologne Cathedral, so it's great for sightseeing. The room has a lot of storage space and is special. :)

This hotel boasts an unbeatable location right next to Cologne Central Station, making it incredibly convenient for catching trains or exploring the city's attractions. You can walk to the main station and the cathedral in just a few minutes. The room layout is simple and practical, featuring a single bed, TV, and a small table and chairs – everything you need. It's clean and tidy, though the decor is quite minimalist and plain, without any extra frills. The service was standard; check-in was reasonably efficient, with no particular warmth but also no slip-ups. At around 650 RMB, the price is about what you'd expect for a central Cologne location. It's a good choice for travelers who prioritize convenience and don't require luxurious accommodations.

It's quite close to the convention center, about a 10-minute walk. There's a supermarket nearby, but no restaurants, so you have to walk across the river for food. The breakfast is pretty limited, mostly just cereal, so I recommend bringing some instant noodles.

The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the train station, which is very convenient. It's close to the street, so there's some noise at night, requiring windows to be kept shut. There's a balcony, which is pleasant for a breeze in the morning and evening, offering views of the train station and Cologne Cathedral. The room is relatively clean, and the front desk staff are very nice. The Three Gu Maocai restaurant nearby downstairs has good food.

Check-in must be done at a series of hotels, and be careful because there is no front desk in the place displayed on Google Maps and you can't enter directly (breakfast is also another building). I will guide you through the intercom, but I think it would have been smoother if you informed me in advance. There seemed to be several buildings, and the accommodation was also different, but it was divided into a dining room with a kitchenette and a bedroom, so I was able to spend a comfortable time! (although it was completely different from the photo at the time of booking) There is also movement between buildings without elevators, but if you don't mind the area, Cospa is often recommended.

Found this hotel on my route to the Netherlands, came in late after midnight the reception is open 24 hours and the gentleman working that night was very nice. Location nearby the highway, rooms are decent and clean.

Very nice hotel with basic breakfast. Rooms and bedding very clean. Location is excellent. Only 10/15 minutes walk from central station and Cathedral.

The hotel was undergoing renovations. We were given a room on the first floor. There was no elevator. The room next door was under construction, and all the dust had gotten into our room. The room itself was bright, and a decent size. However, the carpet wasn't very clean, and the bathroom was small. We stayed there during a week when temperatures hit 40 degrees Celsius. There was no air conditioning and no fan provided. We had to sleep with the window open. The breakfast buffet was good and had all the essentials to start the day right.

The hotel is very conveniently located, 3-5 minutes from the central train station. The hotel itself has several buildings. Ours was in the building next door; you had to walk down the hallway, go outside, and then go back up to the 4th floor. There's no elevator. We had a bunk room for four with two double beds. The second room is in the attic. The room was moderately clean, a bit shabby. This is despite the hotel opening in 2026. Apparently, it was a different hotel or some kind of apartment before that. The beds were very comfortable, the mattresses were excellent, the towels were new and clean. The nightstands were okay. The kitchen only had a sink and cabinets with doors that had fallen off. There were no dishes or a kettle. The bathroom door slammed into the coat stand when opened. The view from the window was excellent, directly onto the church. Overall, we're very grateful to this hotel, as it saved us. We accidentally ended up in Cologne during an international gaming festival at the end of August, and all the hotels were either fully booked or had exorbitant prices. This hotel was reasonably priced. Staying there for just one night was a real stroke of luck. We hope the hotel team can work out the room's shortcomings and improve even more! Good luck!
