This hotel is not the most beautiful hotel on earth, that's a fact... But the location (5 minutes walking from the station and the Dome) is excellent. The room was OK, except the TV, incredibly small, and only german channels! The staff was very kind and friendly, and the breakfast was much better than expected. In the end, excellent value... More

Beware when you plan your vacation in Cologne, we were unlucky and we planned our trip during Furniture Fair and we ended up paying 168€ per night for a hotel which normal price is 85€ per night. Other than that the location of the hotel is great, and the breakfast is well and plenty with a lot of variety. The... More

Expected this to be ok - but it was terrible. Room hideuosly noisy. Hotel overlooks the busiest road in Cologne and has dirty curtains. Tried to change the room, but the manager - a very small Turkish man - came across as rather arrogant - obviously something to prove. Better hotel across the road in the Appartel Am Dom. More

I was in Koln in December with my little boy. It was a great holiday for us ! Merian Hotel is very good located, near turistic center and train station, in a very quiet street. The room was very good size, with large windows, carpet, soundproof and very clean. I liked best the beautiful breakfastroom, very nice decorated also with... More

Very helpful staff, very cheap wireless Internet - e2.50 for the entire three-day stay. Right beside the main train station, very close to the tourist centre of Cologne. Clean, pleasant and good for the price. More

A good value hotel that is literally across the road from the main train station - which means that it is a bit noisy. The breakfasts were great and the staff pleasant and helpful. Our view was of the the station and the Cologne Cathedral spire - pretty impressive. Our room was huge but desperately in need of renovation The... More

Excellent value for money, we had a triple room that was exactly what we wanted. Good location, 5 minutes from the Dom and the station. Lovely continental breakfast with lots of choice. If you are with friends it is ideal, not so good for a couple as there are lots of groups and stag/ hen parties. But it was quiet... More

Firstly, this is a budget hotel, if you are expecting anything else you will be disappointed, my review and ratings are based on budget accommodation. The hotel is well located for the train station, dom and the aldstat in general. It can be noisy if you have your windows open, but given its location this is to be expected (overlooking... More

This is a nice hotel 5 minutes from the rear entrance to the station which makes it convienant for the airport.Train S13 is every 20 minutes with a journey time of 15. The only complaints relate to the bathroom.This was of a good size and smart but the towels were old and thin. The shower fittings looked rather cheap and... More
