We booked the hotel as our first choice - the next tram stop nearer to the city centre - was twice as expensive due to a trade convention at the Messehalle. Don't be put off by the view when you arrive - the flapping plastic sheets at the top of frontage and metal structure standing forlornly in front of the entrance (watch the step - it's a big drop) - and the abandoned industrial buildings over the road suggest urban desolation but this is an area in transition. And the hotel's being refurbished - so no underground car park (but you're fine parking on the road). Inside the reception is better - it feels like a standard chain hotel.
The rooms were small but clean and the beds were especially comfortable - we all slept very well. Breakfast was good and straightforward, even if the layout meant a bottleneck to get to the coffee and hot food.
Broadband wasn't free; given this hotel is geared for business at the conference centre this seems an omission.
It's a ten minute walk through a quiet residential area to the tram station - and it's an efficient service into the centre.
All in all, this is an unpretentious hotel that provides a comfortable bed, no-frills breakfast and is in a quiet location. Check the rates - these may spike during the big conferences.

Stayed here with my Girlfriend for 3 days in December to vist the xmas markets.

This hotel is not in a tourist area it is however a 3 minute walk to the tram stop where the trams are very frequent. This hotel would not have been suitable due to its location for us if were not for the amazing transportation system.


The hotel itself was nice enough, very frielndly english speaking staff who could not do more for you. The room was a nice size and the breakfast was of a typical quality with a wide choice.


The only downside was the lack of things to do in the immediate vacinity in the evening. If it was though summer with the weather being warm there is a square about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute tram ride away, alternativly purchasing an all day tram ticket would allow access back into Koln. With the trams running early morning to late evening this would be more than accptable


I am planning to go back and use Koln as a base to tour other cities in the area due to the amazing transportation. I will definalty be staying in this hotel again.

We have just stayed at this hotel for 3 nights to see the christmas markets, the hotel is fine but we thought the staff were a little uninterested in guests at times, we got the impression that it was a chore for them if you wanted something, ie a spoon or fresh coffee, the hotel manager was however very helpful,the rooms are quite small but they are fine for a short stay and they are clean, the beds are a little on the small side so if you are on the large side you may struggle a bit., you can easily get the tram into the centre or you can walk although it is a good walk for 45 minutes i would say. a taxi will cost about 10 euros,
the hotel appears to be situated on the edge of a large housing estate but we felt totally safe walking through it to the tram stop. All in all not a bad hotel, we have certainly stayed in worse and the only reason that we would not stay there is the distance from the centre of cologne.

I stayed in Prodomo Hotel one night. The room was okay, twin bed, nice bathroom. Staff was very helpfull.
Breakfast was super, with all kinds of bread, yoghurt, fruit, saucages, meatballs, scrambled eggs and boiled eggs!
Very pleasant stay, though it's quite a walk to the centre (about 45 min.). Quite near the Rhein Park, which is very nice when the weather is warm!
Good price for quality!
