Area around the hotel is a bit downtrodden, but you likely aren't staying here for that! A short walk to some better areas of town. The hotel is perfectly acceptable as you might imagine if you have stayed in a business hotel before.

I got there before 3pm, at around 12:15 or 12:30pm, and the staff very nicely told me that unfortunately there weren't any rooms available. However, I waited only 20 minutes, and the front desk immediately told me a room was ready and I was able to put my stuff down before heading over the the Gamescom convention center. The room was spacious and clean, enjoyed my stay there

Decent value hotel

Good location, not quite as central as the Ibis Koeln Hbf but still very convenient with the university nearby as well as tram stop Barbarossaplatz and rail stop Köln Süd. You can get decent deals here when the Ibis Koeln Hbf hotel is sold out. Interior design is the new Ibis design launched in the 2010s so it has been refurbed not long ago. But very hot rooms in the summer though, it seems aircon is only available in parts of the hotel. Also, tiny bathrooms.

WORST HOTEL IN COLOGNE

So unhappy, there was no air conditionner in any rooms and I specifically booked this hotel because on their website is says AIR CONDITIONING , well its not true, they only have fan systems and that is not working, guest were complaining it was 32 degrees in the rooms, the staff at the reception are trying to find all excuses, that they have it but its not working or its working in some rooms but they dont know which one, I ask for a refund , they refused , I ask they to transfer me at another Accor hotel with air conditioning and they also refused, they are basically laughing at you , even the reception was so hot you could not have a drink at the bar, my first time with such a bad service, I will write a letter to customer relations.

Dyrt og småt/skrabet. 1100 kr for et kabine værelse. Man skal bakke ind på toilet og bad. Brusehoved gammel og slidt, medbring din egen sæbe til bad, for det er noget fortyndet der er tilrådeligt. Sengene er korte, så er du over 190 cm. er det ikke særlig bekvemt. Hvis prisen var 700 kr. Passede det til kvalitet.

Good location!

I’ve stayed in many an Ibis over the years and I’m always more bothered about location, this one is five stops from HBF/Dom and the immediate area has Lidl and Rewe supermarkets plus plenty of food and bar options around. Room was fine, not the biggest and small bathroom but ok for my needs and at €50 a night, what you’d expect!

Die Einfahrt zur Tiefgarage eine Hölle! Der Abstand von Asphalt zu Gehweg sind Höhenunterschiede von bestimmt 5-10 Zentimeter. Ich habe das sofort gesehen und bin langsam darüber gefahren und habe es trotzdem nicht geschafft. Ab nächsten Tag ging meine Motorkontrollleuchte an. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass sich mein Mittel und Endtopf verschoben hat und ich fast meine lambdasonde zerstört habe, da ich diese durch den hohen Bordstein mit Wucht ausgesteckt habe. Wenn ich mir diese Lambdasonde kaputt gemacht hätte, hätte ich Werkstattkosten von von 600-700 € gehabt, da dieses Bauteil stark mit dem Mittelrohr verbunden ist. Glücklicherweise kann ich da nochmal mit einem Schrecken davon und habe für Drüber schauen und Fehler löschen im Bordcomputer in der Werkstatt 60€ gezahlt. Sorry ich kann dieses Hotel nicht empfehlen. Viel zu gefährlich für Autos in die Tiefgarage zu fahren.

Klein aber okay

Die nähe zur Bahnstation war super, Personal war freundlich. Zimmer: Klein aber ok. Das Bett hatte nur 1,6*1,9m, es kam keinen Schrank, leider auch keinen Mülleimer (nur einen Mini Eimer im Bad), wir sind eigentlich nicht so penibel, allerdings war der Teppich anscheinend nicht gesaugt, der Spiegel und das Fenster waren auch nicht so sauber. Das Bad ist definitiv nichts für dicke Menschen (wir sind gut gebaut) und es war schon echt eng drin. Wir hatten uns das Frühstück dazu gebucht, für 17€. Für den Preis erwarten wir mehr. Die Semmeln waren fast leer, die Säfte waren Sirup mit Wasser gemischt (geschmacklich voll ok) des einzig tolle war die Waffelbar, man konnte sich selbst frische Waffeln machen. Auf der Webseite stand dass es in der Bar auch Cocktails gibt, daher sind wir nach unserem Konzert direkt ins Hotel zurück gefahren. Müssten dann aber leider feststellen, dass es gar keine Cocktails gibt, nur Longdrinks.
