Top Altstadt-Süd Hotel Reviews

URBAN LOFT Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Close the city center, walkable distance"

Hilton Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice hotel just steps away from the Köln Cathedral and about a 10 min walk to the “Love lock bridge”. Lots of upscale shopping nearby if you’re into that. Staff was friendly and helpful. We did order room service twice; the 2nd order never came but they did refund the cost. Parking was onsite with easy access to the hotel via lift."

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was around a 20 minute walk from the station and centre but could easily be reached by tram. Hotel was clean & modern. The room was a little small but plenty big enough for 2 of us for 2 nights. We had food & drinks and they were reasonably priced for a hotel. Check in was a little slow due to volume of people but we expected that due to the time. I believe you can check in in advance but we weren't aware before hand. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Would recommend & would stay again"
