ibis Styles Koeln City

It was a lovely stay. We were welcomed in a friendly manner and we slept well.

Great location near the nightlife. I booked a single room which was ok. A big bed in a small room didn't leave much space for anything else. The rooms and bathrooms are nice though with modern furnishings and a good shower.

Stayed in the family room number 1. The shower drain was blocked so water flowed off the shallow shower tray and onto the floor. When we spotted this was happening and went to reception the staff member told us that our 7 year old should have checked that the drain was working before having a shower. And threw us a couple of extra towels so that we could mop up the floor where it had flooded. No word of an apology. Don't worry Ibis Koln I have made sure my child is aware of their responsibility to check the plumbing in hotels now.

The stay at Ibis Koln City it was very good! The staff is very helpful and welcome with you at the check in and for any assistance. Rooms are very essential and clean. Bathroom is very small but for a short stay should be enough.

I come to Cologne for work some times a year, and normally I choose the "regular" Ibis hotel close to this one, because usually cheaper. This time prices were almost the same, so I wanted to change. Let's start with the good things first: kind personnel, nice, non-standard lobby, soundproofed room (even at first floor, in front of the tram stop, it was relatively silent), clean room, USB sockets. Basic breakfast but in line with price. The hotel has been well renovated inside rooms and lobby, but details are not much - stairs, and old style doors and door locks are an example. The, the main issue: in the room I had, the entrance is into the bathroom. Then you may go in the proper bedroom, separated by a glass door. I do not think this makes really sense, and it is sufficient for me to stay away next time, considering that there are better alternatives at similar or lower prices. The room itself is very basic and small, smaller than a regular Ibis (In my previous understanding of the strange Accor naming, the Styles brand had to be one step above Ibis, but it is not the case for this hotel - more like an Ibis Budget). For those of you that need a dark room to sleep, darkening is not particularly efficient, at least for the rooms facing the main road where there is a lot of light.
