Booked 2 twin rooms in advance via Expedia for a family, made special requests for rooms to be next to each other due to having children. Upon checking in the receptionist said that our booking had been unblocked by another member of staff the day before, no explanation was given as to why this had happened. Accepted their alternative arrangement,... more

Ok it's impersonal and lacks architectural charm - but I slept so wonderfully. It's completely quiet. V good connections to the city across the river, tram stop outside, three minutes to underground or more trams/buses. Or maybe 15 minutes walk to the Cologne "Dom" (cathedral) with the best view of the city as you cross the river. Great breakfast buffet. more

Stayed for one night while attending the Koln Messe. Nice classy modern hotel. Rooms are a little on the small side, but absolutely ok. Nice Marble bathroom. Perfect business hotel. Great if attending the fair, if you are not, stay on the other side of the river, thats where everything is happening more

We stayed at the Dorint for a long weekend just before Christmas, to visit the city and the Christmas Markets. We got the train from the airport to Koln Deutz Messe station and walked from there - 5 to 10 minutes walk, but we only had hand luggage. (Try and have some coins for the ticket machines at the airport,... more

This is probably the best hotel we ever stayed. The wellness area is wonderful for a 'normal' hotel, (because it isn't a real spa resort). Superb; all what you need. Rooms are bright, clean, spacious with modern furniture. Design bathroom. I always look for hotels with a special care for breakfast. What you get here is amazing. This is absolutely... more

Booked to stay in this hotel as the website looked great and the price was good and although being a bit of a walk out of town I'm really glad we did book it because it was excellent! All the other hotels in the centre of town didn't seem anything compared to this and I'm really glad we booked it,... more

We stayed at the Dorint for 2 nights in august during our stay in Cologne. We found it above average, especially considering the price we paid, which as found out later at check in was a mistake, but since it was theirs, they honored it. The hotel is impersonal and charmless, but it's functioning and the service is efficient. The... more

Typical 4/5 star hotel - but rooms smaller than you would expect from a 5* hotel. Super pool complex - excellent for kids too. The hotel is a good 30 minute walk to town (without children) along not very nice streets. There is a tram stop directly outside the hotel, but the next stop down will take you into the... more

Stayed here for a long weekend via Eurostar and Thalys. Hotel is a 7Euro taxi ride from the main station, or a 15 minute walk across the train bridge. The hotel is set up mainly for the exhibition hall opposite, and is of a very high standard. Everything is very clean and precise, like most things in Cologne . The... more
