I think that many of the reviews here are fair, it's a low budget hotel, but far from the worst in terms of cleanliness and the location is convenient. However, expensive jewellery went missing from my room on the last day of our stay. I was horrified to discover that the chamber maid's children were allowed to play in the... More

We stayed in this hotel for one short weekend, we had to pay a more expensive rate due to christmas market and the congress on that weekend (88eur/night for friday and 98/night for saturday).. but overall we were satisfied. Breakfast Standard breakfast, tea coffee bread jam nutella cheese meat etc. They also offered to make you scrambled eggs. Room We... More

We stayed in the Hotel Elite for one night because most of the other hotels in Cologne were booked during the Photokina exhibition. It's a very basic hotel - small rooms with tile floors, small TV, reasonably comfortable beds and a decent breakfast. Watch what you pay, however - we paid in the 50-60 euro range for one night, but... More

This hotel is basic. It's clean, reasonably priced and the breakfast is ok. It is in a nice location, with great restaurants and bars close by. The one big problem that we had with this hotel is the constant smell of smoke that wafted into our room. We were at the top of the hotel but the smoke from the... More

I had some problems with the staff. I was charged for 48 hours of Internet access (yes, it's not free) despite the fact that I only asked for (and got) 24, and was assured by another staff member that I would only be charged for 24. After arguing with the staff member at checkout for a while I gave up... More

I stayed 3 days at Elite with my wife and it was really a good surprise. The hotel is not very big but with a very helpfull front desk, clean room, with a very confortable bed and well located. The little problem that we had is that our bathroom was with a very strong smell of cigarrette smoke. It was... More

Most of the reviews I read on TripAdvisor were very positive about this hotel & I must agree. The staff was very friendly and helpful in giving directions to train stations & what to see in Cologne. I recommend this place if you are looking for a simple, no-frills, inexpensive hotel. The room and bathroom were clean. More

We stayed there for one night because we attended a gig in the neighbourhood. We had a very nice experience: the hotel is very well located, the staff is very cheerful and helpful and the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable: an excellent value for money! The parking however is quite small: only 3 parking slots but that... More

We travelled with three children and booked two rooms-one 2 bed and one 3 bed. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was fine. The hotel is close to the university and the area gets busy at night. We found the area to be friendly and didn't feel threatened... More
