I stayed in the New Yorker hotel in Cologne on business last week and would recommend it. It is by no means in the most convenient location but the staff alone would encourage anyone to come back and stay.
My room had two very comfortable single beds and was on the top floor of the hotel. It was spacious, clean, bright and stylishly decorated. On a work trip it is always nice to have the option to make yourself tea/coffee and to be able to iron clothes so the absence of both facilities was a slight disadvantage for me personally but not a major issue.
There is no restaurant in the hotel but if you fancy a bite to eat there is bar food available which is pretty tasty. The hotel has sensor lighting which, if you are a fast walker like I am, can be slightly disconcerting when the lights only come on when you are already halfway down a corridor!
On asking for recommendations for food and drink on my final night I was enthusiastically presented with a map which had some bars and restaurants marked on it. The recommendations were excellent and the level of help and friendliness I experienced on my visit more than made up for any shortcomings of the hotel.
A special thanks to Torsten!
