This hotel was recommended by several on Tripadvisor. I will never take advice from this site again. This hotel sits next to several tram and train lines. ALL NIGHT LONG trains or trams were rumbling past our closed window very loudly even though we were on the sixth floor. The room was shabby with old, ugly furniture, ancient carpet, tiny,... more

Hotel Am Barbarossaplatz Ambassador is brilliantly located at a major tram junction easy access into the centre of Cologne or direct to Bonn/Düsseldorf. There are lots of bars locally and a fair few restaurants. The hotel has an Steak House "EL Gaucho" in the basement. Hotel was super clean. Breakfast was from 6am until 11am. Breakfasts were great - continental... more

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights Fri - Monday. The location is good, very close to the BarbarossaPlatz Metro, 4 stops from the main train station (Koln/Dom Hbf), only a 10 minute journey. The front desk staff (English speaking) was friendly, very helpful and provided maps / good advice on the Xmas Markets. The room was fairly small,... more

I stayed at the Ambassador for four nights. It is directly across from the U-Bahn station so transportation to/from the airport and throughout the city was a snap. There was a small convenience store and a couple of bakeries in the same building as the hotel, but if you want to go to a restaurant (besides the hotel restaurant) you... more

Cereal, mixed fruit, Brotchen, more bread, bacon, eggs, cheese, a selection of sliced meat, OJ, apple, coffee.....overall very good. The front... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Ambassador Hotel for 2 nights, this was our first time in Cologne. Upon arrival at the hotel we found the staff to be efficient and friendly. The room (twin) was small, however it was clean and adequate for our short stay. We did find the room very hot at night. The breakfast was... more

The breakfast was superb and the little bistro breakfast room was lovely. The location of the hotel is perfect as you have a tram right outside the hotel to take you into cologne itself which takes about... more
