Very nice hotel from the past, trying to upgrade to todays standard. I can see from year to year we are getting close. This we got into the new version of the bathroom and that was awesome. Doors and locks are still a major problem.. Hope it will be fixed for season 2014

Efficient check-in on a bank-holiday despite not actually having a record of our booking. The hotel can't help being built when it was built but I would dispute that it is tired or shabby as per some previous reviews. It is located right next to the action in terms of river and restaurants and simply does the job. My only... More

I have found the other reviews of this hotel to be very in line with my own. The hotel is in a great location very close to the Cathedral, walking plaza and the river. It offers a pleasant staff, good breakfast, a pub/cafe and also a nice piano bar. It does feel a bit dated with the color scheme in... More

Good hotel on an excellent location, right in the centre of Cologne. That being said: it's a huge boutique hotel, which in the 1980's probably was very fashionable, but where time since then somehow seems to have stood still a little. Not the most stylish place I've ever seen, with lots of brownish and beige tones in the rooms, and... More

Depending on whether an exhibition is in town, this hotel can be good value for money or very expensive. I have been staying there for 20 years a few times per year. I do not think it has changed at all over that period and compared to the latest hotels with their modern decor, it probably looks and feels dated.... More

Maritime hotel is a decent mid range hotel, rooms are pleasant, breakfast is good. Only problem with this hotel is when it is busy it is difficult getting to and from each floor as lofts are at full capacity, and it's the only way to each floor. It's great being on the top floor, it's such a high view to... More

I was in Cologne looking at venues for a conference my company is holding. I stayed at the Maritim for one night. The guy who showed us the conference areas was abrupt and disinterested to the point of being rude. He actually made me feel unwelcome. On that basis, there is no way I would risk holding a conference at... More

A great hotel gets all the small things right and goes out of its way to make sure its guests have a good trip. This hotel seemed to get all the small things wrong and you got the sense you were a visitor rather than a guest.........So these are small things..but they add up when they come together at you!...

The hotel is very well located since it is 1 min away from the main place where you can find restaurants, 5 min away from the shopping street and 10min away from the Dom. Rooms are big, food is good, breakfast is excellent. Good for businessmen.
