What we loved: - Impeccable cleanliness — this was the cleanest hotel we encountered during our entire trip. The room, bathroom, bed linen, and towels were spotless. - Warm and helpful staff — everyone was polite and supportive throughout our stay. We arrived early, left our luggage, and went out to explore. Check-in was smooth and quick once it began. - Perfect location — the hotel is right on the main square, next to the Cologne Cathedral and the central train station. Our room on the second floor had a direct view of the cathedral. - Peace and comfort — despite the central location, the windows blocked out all noise when properly closed. - Ventilation worked well, and the climate control kept the room comfortable. We slept soundly. - Cozy and modern — the room was compact but very cozy, with new furniture and thoughtful touches like plenty of hooks in the entryway. - Nice morning gesture — we checked out at 5 AM and were offered warm buns, which was a lovely surprise before a long journey.

I stayed here at the end of May/start of June and overall really liked it. The room was small for two people but clean and comfy. View from the window was amazing, right onto a cathedral. Bathroom was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. I also liked that I could leave my luggage at the hotel for as long as I needed before heading to the airport or train station. And the location is perfect — literally inside the station building, which was super convenient.

Location was fantastic. We travel by train so any hotels near train stations meet our expectations, but this was fabulous as bonus is the proximity to a stunning Cathedral that we visit every time we are in Cologne and a beautiful walk alongside the river. The room was clean although the carpets in the room (well hoovered) seem a bit dirty - stained (as if never washed- just hoovered?). The door in the room we stayed was not great either - hard to close, but we managed, so all well.

Perfect location. The back door at reception leads straight into the Cologne HBF railway station. The hotel is directly across maktplatz from the cathedral. Breakfast was great. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Had an excellent night's sleep. There is a bar just around the corner who do the pork hocks - simply outstanding (and the kolsch beer is pretty damned good as well).

My second stay in this Hotel. It is situated right next to the Main Railway Station, and is across from Cologne Cathedral. Check in was quick and efficient. All Staff were very nice and helpful. My room like my last visit was on the fourth floor. The room was clean and comfortable, it has air con. My room was cleaned every day. Breakfast Buffet is nice . For snacks there are plenty of places in the Railway Station.

Staff spoke English and were very helpful, allowing me to check in early and leave luggage for a few hours after checking out (they have a locked room for this purpose). Location couldn't be better, directly next to the Hauptbahnhof and with a great view of the cathedral from my window. The room was clean and comfortable, as was the bed - I am very fussy about beds and pillows but have no complaints here!

The breakfast was outstanding and the location inside of the Cologne train station made it super convenient for rail travelers. The cathedral and shopping district are nearby. Accommodations are simple, clean and quiet as one would expect from the Ibis hotel chain. The staff were very professional and friendly during our visit.

Great location within walking distance of plenty of shops, restaurants, and the train station. The view of the Cathedral from the rooms is spectacular! Very comfortable beds. Quiet rooms considering they face a major plaza. The bathroom is set up fantastically. Feels secure even though one of the entrance doors is in the train station.

Brilliant location when travelling by train as the hotel can be accessed from Koln Hbf station complex. The room was small but had everything we needed and the breakfast was very good. The staff were exceptional and the man on duty the evening we arrived recommended a good place for us to eat. All of the staff were friendly and kind.

We picked this hotel for it's location in the main train station and adjacent to the Cathedral. We had one night and an early morning train. So we were able to see the Cathedral. take a walk in the old town, have dinner and get a good night's rest and catch our morning train. Staff was welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was great.
