Top Wallraf Square Hotel Reviews

URBAN LOFT Cologne

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel in Cologne. Bed & Shower fab. If you walk through the train station, you will exit with the wonderful cathedral in view. I will be honest & say it is in a slightly dicey location but we had no problems at all so would highly recommend."

Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Maritim Hotel Köln and would happily stay here again. The room was spotless when we arrived, and we really appreciated having reliable air conditioning during some warm July days. The hotel is in an excellent location, it is an easy walk to Cologne Cathedral, the Old Town, the Rhine, and plenty of great restaurants and shops. We were able to explore most of the city centre on foot, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome. If I had to find one small criticism, it would be that the elevators could be a little slow during busy times, but it was a very minor inconvenience and didn’t take away from an otherwise excellent experience. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, well located hotel with outstanding staff, and we’d recommend it to anyone visiting Cologne."

Lindner Hotel Cologne City Plaza, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"My wife spotted this hotel - it was a the same price as a couple I had seen, but the reviews were better and it didn't disappoint. Super breakfast, helpful staff, air-conditioned, well maintained and a great location just a 15 minute walk fro the station / cathedral. We saw the hotels I had identified on-line which were on top of busy roads, and we were so pleased we stayed here."
