Swisttal Hotel with Pool

"The hotel is superbly placed near the centre of the old town with its own walkway ( over the busy roads ) to the banks of the Rhine . We were very impressed by the grandeur of the interior and tge room was very spacious and comfortable . Unfortunately tge pool was extremely small ( more of a plunge pool ) not suited to providing me with my daily swimming exercise routine which required a length of 25m."

"Clean and modern room with very nice and spacious shower and bath!"

"Really decent place on the outskirts of Koln. Rooms are nice, food/bar is excellent along with sauna and small gym"

"I have stayed at the Dorint multiple times in the past and have always looked forward to returning, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. Upon check-in, I was assisted by Corinna Submann, and the interaction was unprofessional and unwelcoming. I felt as though I was being accused of attempting to underpay for my room due to the reservation showing one person. Prior to arrival, I had messaged the hotel indicating that there would be two guests and that I required two beds. The room I was initially assigned was a superior room with only one bed. As I was traveling with a coworker, this was not acceptable. I returned to the front desk and was downgraded to a smaller room with two beds. The interaction at the desk during this exchange was again unfriendly. I had booked and paid for what I understood to be a higher-category room and requested a credit to reflect the downgrade and the fact that the room did not meet the expectations of my reservation. I was told this was not possible and that it was Expedia’s responsibility. After spending several hours communicating with Expedia, they informed me that any refund or adjustment was the hotel’s responsibility. No resolution was offered. In addition to the room issues, several aspects of the hotel were below the standard I expect from a four-star property: - The main entrance door was not functioning. - Lobby furniture had been removed. - Tiles in common areas were cracked and in poor condition.
