janetrC8009OB Family - 02/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

Perfect location for our trip. Room was lovely and quiet, as we were on the rear side of the hotel. Beds were comfy although the bed making standards need to be raised as this was poor. Had to get a new pillow as one was so old the stuffing was coming out. I have been using this hotel every year for a week for the last 6 years, and not even a welcome back or any recognition that I am a returning customer! Expect better from a 4 star hotel. Reception staff need to be more friendly.

Dear janetrC8009OB, 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. Please send me your contact details, so that I can give you the appropriate appraisal during your next stay. Hope to see you soon. Warm regards, Ruediger Schild General Manager

Great little hop across to Germany!

Was really happy to get early check in. The ability to get whatever drinks we wanted from the bar was an excellent touch. The steak was very well cooked, and we both enjoyed our meal. Room was superb, beds were very comfy. All surfaces clean and neat, it was a plus for my germaphobe friend. Will return if I ever come back to Köln.

Overbooked for my colleagues?!

Customer review rating 4.4/5

K. Business - 28/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

I checked in earlier that day and went to a team dinner. When we returned about midnight, two of my colleagues who booked more than a week before, have been told that there is no room left for them. More than one hour later they have been transferred to another hotel. After a very long day with customers in the office and with an early morning flight to the next full day, this is not acceptable. I am traveling almost weekly for more than 15 years and have never seen this before.

Dear Stefan K., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Koeln City. I very much regret the relocation of your colleagues, which unfortunately became necessary due to an unplanned extension of a group. Please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. The relocation took place in the nearby Accor Adagio Hotel in order to guarantee a short transfer. I can't undo the overbooking and hope very much that you will give us another chance during your next stay. Should you arrive with your colleagues in the near future, I will be happy to show you my gratitude. You are welcome to inform me about your travel plans in advance at ru… . Sincerely, Rüdiger Schild General Manager

my favorite hotel in Cologne. The location is easy to reach by car and easy to get to the highway. Walking distance from the river for a stroll at night, or to the Dom. Personal is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is not cheap but very well stocked.

Nice room, long wait at reception

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Jos Business - 06/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

I had a nice room, very clean and bright. Unfortunately, both at check-in and check-out, it was extremely slow at reception. When checking-in, I decided to have dinner instead. When checking out, which I always do before breakfast, it left me with hardly any time for breakfast. A shame, considering the considerable cost for it. The service at the restaurant was excellent.

Dear Jos F., 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.

rnbueno Family - 04/11/2019 TripAdvisor review

Execellent stay in Novotel Koeln City. Spacious and clean room, great breakfast and also we had a good dinner experience at the hotel's restaurant. The gym is modern and quite empty in the morning. It has a beautiful panoramic view of the Dom. It's my 3rd stay in the hotel and it has always kept its promises. I'll definitely stay another time.

Dear rnbueno , We very much appreciate your positive feedback about your stay at the Novotel Koeln City. I love the panoramic view over the Dom also. Hope to see you soon. Warm regards, Ruediger Schild General Manage

Nadya M. Families - 02/10/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed here for total of 8 nights. The rooms were quiet and had all the needed basic amenities. The Housekeeping team is doing an amazing job, those that I’ve met were very professional and friendly! On the other side, unfortunately I can not say the same about the Front Office team, surprisingly some of the employees made us feel very unwelcomed. As a hotel manager myself I would strongly recommend for the Hotel Management to conduct a silent audit and see the areas for improvement. When we make bookings with Accor Hotels, we are confident that personalized customer service is always on the top of their agenda, unfortunately I can not say the same about our stay here.

It was a little disappointing

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Ellen Business - 09/09/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

Firstly the lights stopped working, so we couldn't get a shower after travelling. (no windows in bathroom) It took 2 attempts to have someone come to look at this, but when they did they identified we had a faulty plug socket. So we couldn't use that for charging our devices. The TV stopped working too, and one night it came on in the middle of the night and threw out white light accross the room. We couldn't turn it off, so I got no sleep that night. For the money we paid, the room was clean but quite basic. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were good too. Just a shame the room had problems which affected our stay.
