Köln hotellit Mulheim

Plussat: tasty breakfast - especially the loose tea good location near the Koelnmesse nice equipment in lobby

Plussat: Reception They change staff very good

Miinukset: The shower chip

Plussat: Easy to get to public transport and was a cheap hotel. Lidl around the corner.

Miinukset: It wasn’t so easy to find as the name of the hotel on the holiday is different to one listed here. I think it was Burns Art. Also on check out they tried charging us for an extra night when we had already paid.

Plussat: Varied breakfast, clean rooms

Miinukset: Heavily industrialised location unsuitable for walks around

Plussat: The room was lovely; bright clean and nicely furnished The housekeeping staff member was very nice and brought me a kettle and milk so that I could make tea in my room When the tv didn’t work the man who came was very nice and helpful and helped me to move toons twice.

Miinukset: Staff were quite abrupt. Location was very bad. It was in a quiet residential area with nothing around it. I gad to travel into the city for anything I wanted . Facilities for good in hotel were very limited and there were no food places nearby

Plussat: I like the design of the Hotel, check out process was long, bathrooms are very tiny. But still nice. Would recommend.

Miinukset: We had a room on top floor, i did not like the room location because it was directly on the balcon. When you went out of the room you could not close the curtains, so all people could sneek in your room.

Plussat: Just what u need for a quick stay near the fair

Plussat: The hotel decor is modern and clean. The rooms are well equipped and spacious for two travellers. Free coffee is available in the morning. It's located near a Lidl, ATM and small convenience store (all within walking distance). The hotel offers free parking and there is also free parking on the surrounding streets.

Miinukset: There are public transport links nearby but we decided to walk into the city centre and it took about 35-40 minutes. The toiletries in the bathroom are quite limited and our soap in the shower was not filled.

Plussat: Good shower

Miinukset: They advertise with electric vehicle charger in the facility page , when I enquired by email they said they don't have one…... There is a public charger available on 300 meters, though you need an app to operate. It would be nice to have that clear in the hotel description. Room was ok, but minimal for price / quality

Plussat: Large room. Comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Staff were friendly.

Plussat: The Hotel is quite new and therefore bright and modern. The room was large and comfortable. Excellent selection of breakfast foods. It was useful to be able to leave our car at the Hotel and take the train into the centre of Cologne - about 10 minute walk to the train terminal and about another 10 - 15 minutes into centre.

Miinukset: There were two things we had to bring to the attention of the Reception staff. One of our bathroom towels was very ragged, bore a dark mark and was of a generally poorer quality than the others. More importantly, we discovered two stains on the duvet cover (looked like cosmetic marks) which we only discovered on the morning of departure when we pulled the duvet back. This made us wonder if the duvet cover had actually been washed. In any event, it should not be in circulation and we had to mention this to the staff. Those aspects were a pity as the staff were very friendly and helpful, our stay generally comfortable, but cleanliness is of the utmost importance and the Hotel let itself down here.

Plussat: The room was pretty small, and their bed's are only Queen size, however, it was very comfortable and we slept well. The bathroom was clean and everything else too. Location was good for the purpose (concert at the palladium) and with McDonalds right next door there were no concerns about food after the concert... ;)

Miinukset: Room and bed are pretty small..

Plussat: Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Bathroom not very clean, hair strands around the sink and on the floor.

Plussat: staff are tremendous, breakfast are fine, Would like snack restaurant to be open at lunch time, wifi strong

Miinukset: Room cleaning of lamps and loose ornaments can be better- dust under the bed side stands can be better

Plussat: Amazing pancake making machine and such a yummy hazelnut cream! Being located near the motorway we were surprised to find that we didn’t hear any noise in the night! We’ll book again with Holiday Inn Express!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The rooms were very modern and stylish. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was nice also. The breakfast was fantastic and well worth it! Very impressed!

Plussat: Great selection of English speaking TV channels. Good wifi.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli suurimmaksi osaksi osaavaa ja palvelualtista. Hotellissa oli mukavan hiljaista, joka oli herkemmälle nukkujalle plussaa.

Miinukset: Tilatut taksit olivat kalliimpia kuin itse hankitut. Tästä ei myöskään infottu, mikä osaltaan vähensi viihtyvyyden loppuarvosanaa.

Plussat: Excellent staff, good location

Plussat: Location, design.

Miinukset: Unfortunetly it was not so clean. The bathroom was looking untrusty to use it and the room had an unvacuumed carpet. The air in the room was like in an old house, perhaps it has some mould somewhere. And it was also very, very noisy!

Plussat: The staffs were extremely helpful and friendly. The design of the hotel is really nice. The bathroom is clean and spacious.

Miinukset: There was a lack of air-conditioner unit in my room. Considering that this is a hotel, we would expect some sort of comfort under this hot weather during the summer.

Plussat: Location to what I was doing that day. Hotel was unique as it was an old Werkstatt Bldg.

Miinukset: BK ok, but a bit different then most hotels. It could have been a bit cheaper than what it was.

Plussat: Huoneeni oli pieni, sänky oli huono, ei työpöytää. Hissi kulki "puoleen kerrokseen" eli matkatavaroita joutui raahaamaan portaissa. Hotellin sijainti on huono, sillä lähin julkinen yhteys kaupungin ostoskaduille ja keskustaan on noin 10-15 min. kävelymatkan päässä hotellilta. Taksi keskustaan maksoi 18-24 euroa.

Miinukset: Hotellin sijainnista, huoneeni huonosta sängystä sekä työpöydättömyydestä.

Plussat: The service was amazing even the location for a event at cologne

Plussat: Very friendly staff

Miinukset: It was actually not easy to get to city center. There are 2 buses to take, but each goes once in 30 min and close to each other in time. So if you miss both, you need to wait for 25 min and it's too far to go by foot

Plussat: Staff was friendly. Room and hotel was stylish.

Miinukset: Room was extremely hot. The air conditioner struggled to keep it cool and didn't really make it. Nothing interesting around the location.

Plussat: Andres front desk/bar tender was awesome a great help. Room was cool liked the layout.

Miinukset: Parking and access to hotel can be tricky and limited food no restaurant

Plussat: Well run and well equipped designer hotel.

Miinukset: Next to a building site though, so might be noisy during redevelopment

Plussat: Reception staff were friendly & informative. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere. Interesting artwork & comfy club chairs! Punchy interior design, you can see that care is taken & everything is well thought out. A great place to return to after a long day at 'the office'.

Miinukset: No kettle in room! Breakfasts were good but only if you can eat wheat/lactose etc. Didn't cater for any allergens. Pillows in room rather floppy, even if you stacked them up :-)

Plussat: Staff welcoming and friendly. Hotelroom very clean. Bed comfortable, everything super! I had breakfast, really recommend it! Been travelling for 2 weekdays in different kind of hotels and this is the best breakfast I’ve had!

Miinukset: Air conditioning not working or I couldn’t find out how it worked so the rooms was a bit hot during nigh but it didn’t bug me.

Miinukset: bad internet connection, takes time to connect

Plussat: Hotel Friends is a very accurate name for this hotel. We were greeted very kindly and immediately got some help finding a place to eat, which was quite a challenge at 9pm on Labour Day. Parking was easy to use and free, which made this hotel a great place to stay on our way to Switzerland. Also, the room was very clean and we even got an upgrade to a room with a balcony. Breakfast was great! Our dog felt very welcome too.

Miinukset: Although the breakfast was really good, it was a little pricey. I wouldn't have minded having a little less choice for a lower price. Also, Hotel Friends could make some improvements to their sustainability. I can imagine such a huge breakfast buffet means a lot of waste too and I wouldn't have minded refill shampoo and soap in stead of the one use plastic bottles.

Plussat: Very good

Plussat: The decoration was very nice. Cozy common spaces and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: The main room could use a big mirror.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, nice looking room with a balcony and comfortable bed. Nice atmosphere in the hotel, it looks really funky and modern.

Miinukset: Small bathroom, no fan, unclear parking area

Plussat: Location OK.

Miinukset: No parking, no air conditioning (hell hot in summer).

Plussat: Staff was excellent on customer service, Rooms was well taken care of to welcome me

Miinukset: Everything was on point.

Miinukset: The fact that we had two single beds and we asked for a double bed. The room was small..we expected alot more for the price. We had breakfast once because this too didnt meet our expectations. One of the employees reacted inappropriate when we helped ourselves to some ice after the breakfast. The room had no kind of ventilation which is very uncomfortable in the summertime. So we slept with the door open.

Plussat: Most of the staff were friendly and helpful for the most part.

Miinukset: No tooth paste in the room. When i asked the lady about this I was advised that they ran out and needed to buy my own. Breakfast was initially wrongly charged to my room when I checked out but they amended this.

Miinukset: What you see on the pictures is totally fake!!

Plussat: Very friendly staff and our room had a beautiful bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and a balcony off our bedroom

Miinukset: If there had been air conditioning in room

Plussat: I liked the traditional German feel to the place, lots of wood and the coziness. The breakfast feels like a proper breakfast a German grandma would serve. The shower and bathroom are both tiny but efficient. I like that big windows/bay doors that open for fresh air. in a somewhat seedy area and is much nicer inside than it appears from the outside. I will likely stay here again in the future.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good value. So much choice which was great and as much tea and coffee as we wanted. Brilliant.

Miinukset: It would have been good if they had put on their website that the bar would be closed due to it being Carnival weekend. One evening the four of us came back early evening after standing in the cold all day and thought we would get a drink in the hotel bar but we were told it was shut.

Miinukset: The fact that there was no reservation at the hotel (even though I received tons of emails and reminders about the reservation) and they had no rooms available! This was a total disaster.

Miinukset: bed are definitivelly too old. only separated twin bed, when room description before booking told double-bed.

Plussat: That historic entourage is awesome. You can feel the four stars this hotel had had once opened. Wooden wall decorations, handmade chairs, silver tableware, hi-tech windows — everything has that spirit of those gone famous times. the hotel is very close U-Bahn Wiener Platz station (3 minutes by feet) with direct connections to downtown as well as to Mülheim railway station with direct train to the airport and the proximity of large shopping malls (up to 10 minutes). Although there's some street activity around, you have no outside noise in your room.

Miinukset: Superb economy adds some odd feeling to staying there. You should be among the first for the breakfast as they didn't add enough new food as guests consume some. You cannot pay with your card as it will increase the hotel owner's expenses and they easily lie to you that there's no POS terminal, even if you see it staying in front of you. Some towels remember the time the hotel was launched 50 years ago. You should be aware, you're staying in some old property whose best times are gone, but you're free to enjoy the memory of that former fame and luxury.

Plussat: The breakfast room was pretty and very well stocked. The hotel is next to Weiner Platz with multiple tram lines (number 18 to the city centre) and buses, plus shops, banks, cafes, etc. and a LIDL for groceries. The reception is always staffed. We also liked the walk into Cologne centre, across the bridge and along the opposite bank of the Rhine.

Plussat: Breakfast was exceptionally good value. Very convenient for Wiener Platz so easy access to Messe or central Köln. Very friendly staff with a good command of English. Overall, perfectly adequate for a business hotel with some lovely period flourishes (like the hotel stationery and the tableware at breakfast) to elevate it above the run of the mill glass and chrome chain hotels.

Miinukset: No way to prevent daily maid service, so seemed unnecessarily wasteful of soap, towels, etc.

Plussat: actually nothing i did like. It was a bad room I have stayed in near Köln !! only good thing is the area close to anything. there was no carpet in the room we stayed !!! and really not think to stay again !

Miinukset: there was nothing i like !!!

Plussat: the breakfast was surprisingly good, nice and attentive staff, great choice of food.

Miinukset: the place is pretty run down, even though they claimed to have made renovations. the room was badly lit, the shower – though clean – smelled funny. there was not hot water on both days of my stay. the beds were probably as old as the owners. nice people, but probably not willing to invest anymore into the hotel. the wifi was super slow, but that's nothing special in hotels.

Plussat: The breakfast room and lobby.

Miinukset: Tiny room for two.

Plussat: Parking was on site so that felt reassuring. The staff was helpful. Location is great because there's a tram station nearby that will take you to the city center in about twenty minutes.

Miinukset: The room was very outdated and furnished terribly (lots of decorations and patterns, not very relaxing). The room didn't have airco so it was just as hot inside as it was outside. It's way too expensive for what you get. We had a view on other buildings and people could easily look into our hotel room.
