If you're traveling by bus or train, chances are you'll be passing through Friesenplatz. This terminal is a major transportation hub for the area and an attraction in its own right.

This transportation hub in Left of Rhine is well-liked by many travelers, so make sure it features on your to-do list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more attractions waiting for you to appreciate after Friesenplatz. Cologne Cathedral, RheinEnergieStadion, and Old Market are close by.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Firstly, the staff are extremely hard working, and attentive. They are a credit to the hotel. Our room was a bit tired. Very odd that the light switches were situated behind your pillows, so we kept catching these in the night. Bathroom could do with a revamp. Grout all needs cleaning, sealant needs replacing. The limescale in the bottom of the toilet needs sorting out. I know this is beyond the hotel’s control, but the area is having a lot of construction work, and they started up at 6.30am every morning!!!
