Top hotels in Belgian Quarter
Maritim Hotel Köln
Staff at reception was very attentive, specifically the lady from Nepal (sorry, I’m really bad with names) I wish there were things in the room that guests probably need like an iron or a steamer for clothing, shower head cap etc. I like the hotel and the location.

Premier Inn Köln City Süd
The breakfast menu was fine except it was not evident how to make a cup of tea! Too complex with metal strainers and loose leaf tea. Us English need an easy cuppa in the morning! Just get some tea bags and make it easier!

Rooms were clean and spacious! The front always accommodated my needs and very helpful. I like that parking was under hotel. This would be a top choice if you’re staying in Köln!
