Adina Apartment Hotel Cologne
Lovely big room clean and tidy. Close to a train station and 20 min walk over the bridge to the cathedral. Staff seemed friendly. Only inconvenience was having to queue to pay for drinks in the lobby when only one person on desk and large number of people waiting to check in.

La Plaza24
There’s a glitch where hotels.com doesn’t seem to pass the guest’s email on so the property can’t send the check in details until you check directly / via the support chat. It ’s quick from there on but rather annoying Otherwise brand new and a beautiful space with 4m ceilings but with a price point ...
