Our guest reviews

Check-in did not go as usual, but well located.

Ron Couples - 5/13/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had checked in online in advance, but we were not given all the paperwork (for example, the login details for Premium Internet). Also the information about where the breakfast room was was missing. Not that that's a bad thing, but noteworthy. By the way, I didn't notice any difference between "normal" and "Premium" WiFi. Another thing that was crazy is that you have to bring your smartphone to the restaurant to access the menu there via a QR code. Hopefully this has come to counter infections related to COVID-19, because we didn't find it very user friendly. Then print the menu on an A4 sheet and throw that away. But fortunately the waiter was able to list the menu. What was good (and it was also mentioned on the site) was that you can choose 3 items from the display case. By the way, we had an executive room. Maybe a king bed is better than a queen. But we had quite a good time and enjoyed discovering Cologne.

Dear Ron N., Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, Rüdiger Schild General Manager

Overpriced for the (lack of) amenities/facilities provided

Business T. Business - 5/10/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Unfriendly staff - they’re anything but welcoming., High room rates without breakfast. Rooms are clean and decent. There’s nothing provided in the room - like room slippers, or water or anything.

Very well located

Natalia Families - 5/9/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

I traveled with family: children and a senior, and the hotel is at walking distance from the city center. We also used the parking ️ service, 19€ per 24 hours, very good garage. At the lobby there is a dedicated area for children to play and nice sofas for the grown ups to wait. The breakfast is very complete. It was also included in our rate. The dining area has nice views to the river. On the rooftop there is a gym and a sauna with a small terrace and some views to the city ️. Overall it was one of our favorite stays in Germany during this trip, not only thanks to the charming city of Köln, also thanks to the stay at the Novotel

Well located - but that's it

Joshua W. Families - 5/3/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is well located - relatively close to the center but still relatively silent surround and close to the river. Everything is clean. The personal is okay (could be a bit more anticipating and proactive), the breakfast buffet is good though the tablets (all of the wet) provide you with an unpleasant canteen-feeling.

Dear Joshua W., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely, Rüdiger Schild General Manager

Good hotel, room temperature too high, unpolite service

Peter Business - 4/29/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel was clean and good value for money. Amenities were adequate but nothing special. Worst part was that room temperature is hard to manage. Rooms very hot and window open just a little. One person (Mohammed) at the reception spoiled it for us, rude, inconsiderate and should not be working with guests.

Dear Petrus H., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Koeln City. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We are very sorry that you had the experience with our receptionist.

Rude staff

matteoangeli17 3/16/2022 TripAdvisor review

For a Novotel I would have expected a warmer welcoming. The staff at the reception desk was rude and definitely unfriendly, no welcoming drink (while my loyalty membership entitles me to get some), receptionist almost accused me that my credit card was not working (he finally used another card reader and this worked), a mere apology would have been expected but I suspect I was asking for the Moon here. And finally no room upgrade proposal. Bedroom was ok, though the fridge was not working at all. Overall, quite a bad experience and I won’t go back to this hotel anymore. I can’t recommend it.

Dear matteoangeli17 , Thank you for your feedback. We are extremely sorry that we could not convince you of our hotel. We have already contacted you personally and sincerely apologized to you. We hope that you will accept our proposed compensation and give us another chance in the near future. Warm regards, Ruediger Schild General Manager

Unspectacular

expat014 9/2/2020 TripAdvisor review

Although you don't expect anything but the usual standard in these kind of hotels i did find it the hotel to be on the low side of the scale. The whole design is very boring and nothing exceeds a 3 star hotel. The tray with the cups was dusty, windows very dirty. So I cannot believe there are any special cleaning measures taken at the moment. Fridge did not work very well. The shower the beds were nice.

Dear expat014, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Koeln City. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Hope to welcome you again soon. Warm regards, Ruediger Schild General Manager

Nice stay and nice location

RicardoV1285 9/1/2020 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is near the river and has a nice walk distance to the city center. Also they have a very good policy against Covid-19 with "Hand hygiene stations" across the entire hotel. They also have a very nice garden area for breakfast and the staff were very nice.

Dear RicardV1285, We very much appreciate your positive feedback about your stay at the Novotel Koeln City. Many thanks at this point for your feedback to our extensive ALLSAFE hygiene measures Hope to see you soon. Warm regards, Ruediger Schild General Manager
