Schinnen Vacations from $1,281

The hotel is located in a quiet side-street in Cologne, seemingly well away from any shops, bars, restaurants. The largest drawback however was that the hotel only served breakfast, had no lounge or bar area to chill & relax, & so could really only be used for sleeping & breakfast. However, we soon located a very good - reasonably expensive - steakhouse near bye, & a collection of resturarnts about 15 minutes easy stroll away. I was attending a trade fair at the Cologne Messe, which was around 10mins away by cab, circa £16 each way. My wife used the time I was away at the show to walk along the Rhine, into Cologne centre, easy 25mins walk to the Cathedral. Nice hotel, but would not use again because of the dining/bar situation.

Hotel was clean, modern and in a great location. Everything is within walking distance from the hotel. Very central and I would stay here again.

Another excellent stay, polite and friendly staff

Other reviewers said that this hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment. Absolutely true. It OK, but not great. everything looks a little worn out. Beds are really comfy though, and the shower is excellent. Food is mediocre, unless you only eat fruit - there was a lot of fruit! Staff were friendly, in particular the older man on reception who was really helpful.

Very clean and quiet hotel. Good location for walking to multiple locations. Easy walk into the city centre. Would definitely stay again!
