Located very close to the Hauptbahnhof Köln. Had to wait rooms are done for us…read more Loved our room so much! When I opened huge thick dark wooden door, could see long windows. Famous Köln Dom was right there! Other old buildings also. Because of thick doors and well insulated long windows, couldn't hear any noises from outside. We slept sans curtains! Breakfast was super good. All kinds of German goods which I missed so much. Fresh Brötchen or dark German bread, salami, schinken, etc. all there! Famous Heumarkt was walking distance. We enjoyed last Weihnachtsmarkt there with super hot Glühwein! Other part of the cities Weihnachtsmarkt were closed. I still remember the early morning's church bell sounds. It was not loud. It was not bothering like alarm sound. In an unknown city unfamiliar hotel bed you woke up by the church bell sounds. Through the long huge windows you see grey cloud thick sky.. yeah you are in Germany.

Hilton Cologne near the train station and giant cathedral is my favorite hotel in all of Europe…read more As my humanitarian work calls me to Germany often, and the sad circumstances I must see for refugees, it's a healing treasure to be warmly welcomed at Hilton Cologne where my requests are met for personal care. For instance, I'm allergic to feathers and fragrances so housekeeping provides synthetic bedding and uses natural cleaning supplies. It also helps to be a Hilton Diamond member because there are perks, like view upgrades of the dome, and free breakfast. A few times I've enjoyed the split level condo suite with dreamy tub-- for you honeymooners out there, this is the room you want. It's its own castle. Be sure to order breakfast buffet downstairs, and ask for friendly, English-speaking serving host, Polat Dal who is extra helpful for seniors guests and those with mobility challenges. It was very nice to see someone working attentively for guests' comfort. See you soon, Hilton Cologne!

Had an absolutely GREAT stay here! The location can't be beat: Right on the bank of the Rhine River…read morewith a perfect view of Cologne Cathedral, and an easy walk across the Hohenzollern Bridge to get there! I was upgraded to the Club Level ... and this was my first-ever experience with it. It was like walking into a very nice office reception area, with food & drink readily available. It was funny one night when I tried their afternoon "reception". They brought out lots of appetizers and even a hot penne pasta dish. The staff on this floor is amazing, as well! My room was very nicely-appointed, and I had a direct view of the train tracks just before crossing the Hohenzollern Bridge. Since I'm a bit of a train nut, this was absolute perfection for me! I wasn't even envious I didn't get a Cathedral-facing view, either. :-) Also, since it was late May, the sunrise lit up my room beautifully every morning. (Alas, if there was one thing that bugged me a little, it was the shower. The water temperature would change every time someone flushed a toilet somewhere in the building. Hopefully this can be addressed. On the bright side, at least my morning showers were invigorating!) Legends, the bar on the main floor, was fantastic! I will judge a place by how they make their Whiskey Sours, and Legends is indeed legendary. Their food menu is plenty satisfying, too. I enjoyed at least a couple afternoons & evenings here. Since breakfast was included in my hotel reservation, I definitely took advantage and ate at Glashaus. Now THIS is a breakfast buffet! I think I could spend an entire morning here just getting fat & happy (vacation calories, like movie theater calories, don't count!). The layout is world-class, as is the Omelet Station. Glashaus breakfast is definitely a way to fall off the diet wagon, heheh! :-D All-in-all, a great place to stay and I look forward to staying again.

First Holiday Inn experience overseas. Not horrible…read more AC blew warm but then it is May so they might not have it switched to cool yet. Double bed was hard along with pillows. Made for a not pleasant nights sleep. Couch bed was pulled out and made up for our girls when we got there. Yay! Very happily surprised when we walked into that. Hotel had a small ice machine on 0 floor next to the elevator. Inside hotel was clean and quiet. Dennis on desk when we checked in was super helpful and friendly! And this morning when we checked out the Girl was friendly, Kasia I think her name was. Breakfast was a European breakfast which is still taking some getting used to for us Americans. Room temperature ham and cheese, yogurts, a few cold cereals to choose from, croissants, chocolate crosswinds yesterday that were the best! There is a pancake machine in the back corner, the the adjoining room. Hot drink machine, tea bags, 3 juices, 2 milks, and water for the drink options. Hotel doesn't seem to be in the best area but we have definitely stayed in shadier areas. Overall, we were happy. Got a great deal on IHG.com and will keep this hotel in mind when coming back. If driving yourself then it was pretty easy to get to the chocolate museum parking garage which is where we parked for the day. Parking was €10 per night. We paid it up front and then when we left they scanned our ticket so we could leave the parking lot.
