The hotel is in an excellent location. Bedroom and bathroom were spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, especially the varieties of delicious bread and the coffee. Housekeeping and reception staff were very good and hard working. However the WiFi was poor ...

Premier Inn Köln City Süd
The hotel is clean, the breakfast buffet is very good. A bit of a walk to the train station. Rooms are small but comfortable. Close to a major shopping centre and to the pedestrian street with lots of restaurants.
