Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was perfect. The grounds were impeccable, the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious."

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

2/10 Terrible

"Booked a room for 3 nights. Once arrived in reception, I was told there were no rooms available as the hotel was overbooked. The hotel didn't communicate anything to me, nobody bothered to arrange an alternative accomodation in advance, I was just left waiting in the reception area. The worst detail is the receptionist had full awareness of the problem much earlier in the day, apparently she was just hoping in a no show. After 1 hour I just booked a room elsewhere, very bad service and planning skills. I still don't understand how my reservation was confirmed, whatever computer system should be able to flag overbooking issues in 2026."

Excelsior Hotel Ernst am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms and super staff! Skip the buffet breakfast. We had poached and scrambled eggs both with large chunks of shells we didn’t eat. Ordered pancakes to share and received 2 thumb size pancakes with hard bagel texture. We are American and love breakfast buffets but not this one that was very expensive at a 5 star hotel."
