Stayed here three nights in May during vacation in Europe. The hotel has a lovely lobby and the rooms are very comfortable. The location was about three blocks from the train station which was extremely convenient for day trips and saved on a taxi ride with our luggage. Also only a few blocks to the Dom and Rhine river...

Very clean, very efficient, windows and doors shut perfectly, so that not one cubic inch of warm air is wasted. Everything you could expect from a German hotel of this price range. Except for charm. My room was also very small, as it was a single room. But it is very conveniently located close to the Dom, the rail station... More

Stayed for the 4th or 5th time at the Cristall. Great location for the station and a quick walk into the city. Rooms clean and tidy, breakfast lovely and there is a hotel bar for a drink to round off the evening. More

We booked a standard double room for our overnight stay in Cologne in December, 2011. While the website presents a super trendy hotel, the convenient lighting and clever photography masks a rather standard hotel. The entrance and what I call the canteen area are both underwhelming upon arrival. The staff quite cold and annoyed looking (not the usual experience for... More

We stayed at the Crystall for three nights as a party of 14 and had a very good time. The hotel was very central and offered a good breakfast and clean rooms.

Not the best hotel I stayed and for the price (over 100 euro's) just not up to standard The rooms reminded of a prison cell Rooms are Clean and the breakfast is OK But not a lot else to say More

We visited in September of 2010. The front desk personel were very helpful. When I needed a electric adaptor, I fumbled with my bad german, trying to describe a "zwischerstuchen" to him. He figured it out and brought out a box of them, and we went through them until we found one that fit. He then gave us his ideas... More

I had a trip here with some girlfriends in December 2010 for the German Christmas Markets. We planned the trip ourselves and found this hotel via their website, which is excellent and has English translation - we booked direct. Hotel is very centrally located - we flew in, caught train into Cologne, and then walked from the station to the... More

Hotel Cristall can only be described as excellent. We stayed for 3 nights and not one negative thing could be said of this place. The rooms have character and design, bathrooms are lovely and the beds comfy and large. The breakfast was delightful and the front desk staff willing to serve, two examples must be given here, upon check in... More
