Rhein-Hotel St. Martin

10/10 Excellent

"Great place- definitely recommend."

URBAN LOFT Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Double Double-pane windows facing the train tracks kept the noise to a whisper day and night. They gave me a wheelchair accessible room that had the biggest shower I've ever seen in the EU. Breakfast is extra, and continental style, but they had something hot every day and the lobby 'co-working' space was very nice. Only complaint would be the stained and worn carpets on the first floor hallways."
