Maria B. Families - 8/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Only 10 min walk to the Cathedral and shops etc along the river. Rooms spacious clean and comfortable. Manager and staff very helpful. Hotel has its own parking under the hotel which we booked and paid for upon arrival. There is a gym and sauna at no extra cost located on the top floor with the added benefit of a view across to the cathedral worth popping up to just see that. We stayed 3 nights and would stay again.

Dear Maria, thank you very much for your wonderful review and perfect rating! 😊 We're delighted that you had such an enjoyable stay with us. It's especially rewarding to hear that you felt well looked after by our team and that you were able to make the most of our facilities during your three days in Cologne. Thank you as well for recommending our fitness and sauna area with its panoramic view – it really is one of our favourite spots in the hotel. Knowing that you would choose to stay with us again is the greatest compliment we could receive. We look forward to welcoming you back to Novotel Köln City in the future. Best regards, Your Novotel Köln City Team
