Ruppichteroth 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."

"Dear Hyatt Regency Köln Guest Relations Team, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction regarding an experience I encountered during my recent stay at your property in Cologne, Germany. Despite the restaurants on-site appearing to have available capacity on the evening in question, I was unfortunately unable to secure a dining reservation at either of the two hotel restaurants. As a result, I was compelled to leave the hotel premises and travel into the city centre in order to dine — an inconvenience that I had not anticipated, nor considered necessary given the facilities advertised as part of the guest experience. This situation had a significant impact on the overall enjoyment of my stay. As my evening was spent travelling to and from the city centre for dinner, I was subsequently unable to make use of the hotel's leisure facilities, including the swimming pool and spa areas, which I had very much looked forward to. I trust that this matter will be taken seriously and reviewed accordingly. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and to understand what measures might be put in place to prevent similar inconveniences for future guests. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response. Yours sincerely,"

"The room was spacious and had a kettle and nespresso machine. The pool and sauna were an added bonus. Breakfast was lovely, so much choice ,hot and fresh. Short walk to cathedral, bars, restaurents and station"

"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.
