“Just around the corner from the Marriott and probably a better breakfast.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

This hotel is located a few minutes walk from the Cologne Hauptbahnof and is just around the corner from the Marriott. The quality of the breakfast took me by surprise. There were many options, cereals, fruit, eggs, cheeses, meats, fruit juices and the presentation of the food was really outstanding. The breakfast room was bright and the decor and furniture was new.I doubt the breakfast experience would be any better in the Marriott. Yes the rooms are slightly on the small side, but provide everything you need. Very clean linen, hot water, comfy bed, and once again the bedroom and bathroom furniture was obviously fairly new. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel does have a good sytem for looking after your luggage if you need to leave it there before checking in, or after checking out. I did read about the comment on noisy traffic, but I found my room to be very quiet. This hotel is a good choice if you are on business or a short city break.

Room Tip: I stayed in 402.Quiet and new furnishings.

“Great location, nice staff & breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

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 for the price.

“Location and Breakfast great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2010

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 hotel has a WiFi and for that reason they do not provide a PC for the guest, personally I prefer the PC because I do not like to carry my portable and the screen of mobile is not big enough. Anyway is a pleasant clean hotel and if you get it in the right price you will not be dissatisfied.

“Avoid this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2009

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.

“Very pleasant stay !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2009

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 large windows. The breakfast was more than good.
Hope we will be back again !
