Staff spoke English and were very helpful, allowing me to check in early and leave luggage for a few hours after checking out (they have a locked room for this purpose). Location couldn't be better, directly next to the Hauptbahnhof and with a great view of the cathedral from my window. The room was clean and comfortable, as was the bed - I am very fussy about beds and pillows but have no complaints here!

Breakfast was expensive for a basic buffet. It's unlimited so if you've got a huge appetite you might get your money's worth, but I basically paid over €10 for a couple of bits of toast and a pain-au-chocolate... A cheaper alternative would be to go to Rewe in the station which has a better range of pastries.

My second stay in this Hotel. It is situated right next to the Main Railway Station, and is across from Cologne Cathedral. Check in was quick and efficient. All Staff were very nice and helpful. My room like my last visit was on the fourth floor. The room was clean and comfortable, it has air con. My room was cleaned every day. Breakfast Buffet is nice . For snacks there are plenty of places in the Railway Station.

There was nothing I disliked

The breakfast was outstanding and the location inside of the Cologne train station made it super convenient for rail travelers. The cathedral and shopping district are nearby. Accommodations are simple, clean and quiet as one would expect from the Ibis hotel chain. The staff were very professional and friendly during our visit.

Some of the bathroom amenities could use an upgrade. There were limited setting levels to adjust the heating in the room which during our stay was uncomfortably warm.

Great location right next to the main train station and with a view of the astonishingly beautiful cathedral. Although it's a budget hotel it was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bed was just right.

The only thing that would have improved our one-night stay would have been a kettle in the room. I like tea. There's several cafes just outside, though.

The location is really ideal (especially if you travel by train), as it could not be closer to the train station. It is also right in the city center and the hotel actually faces the cathedral, which is really lovely! The breakfast is very good, and there is a lot to choose from The staff was very friendly and accommodating (regarding check-out time and breakfast time) The bed was very comfortable It was also very calm

It was rather expensive, and it might not be completely worth it as there is nothing exceptional about the room - it is all very simple. I guess that it is mainly due to the location, and it is true that it could not be closer to the city center and the train station but still, it is a bit much so the value for money is not great

Excellent location for the train station as the hotel is literally in the train station. We travelled into Cologne by train before heading to Dortmund by train for the England versus Netherlands game at the Euros, so the hotel location was brilliant. Also the hotel is located next to the square with cafes/bars and the Cathedral so also excellent location.

Rooms were very small albeit very functional for just 2 nights.

A decent budget hotel with a superb location for tourists or if you have to take a train early the next morning. The hotel is located next to the train platforms and a few meters from the Catedral (Dom). Surprisingly, the rooms are quiet, and you hardly can hear the trains or the traffic.

the place to have breakfast in the hotel is small but you have plenty of places to have breakfast around and in the train station. sándwiches available in train station across Germany are really good and i highly recommend try some of the many baguettes filled with cheese, chicken or tomato.

Location, location, location! Great placement as part of the train station made life very simple on travel day.

Even with our room temperature control turned off, the entire building was too hot for my comfort. Plus, I’m a pillow snob. The pillows were not comfortable. I did, however request a second pillow from the front desk, and they obliged on the spot.

Great location next to the main train station and opposite the cathedral, but no noise issues. Quick check-in and check-out. Room was clean and adequately sized. No hot drinks making facilities or safe. Bottle of communal shower gel/shampoo in the bathroom. Breakfast was served in a pleasant room on the first floor overlooking the square. Food options were varied and included scrambled egg and bacon (no sausage), cereals, bread and pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, ham and cold vegetables, as well as juice and hot drinks.

A safe is always useful especially in a city location. Otherwise nothing specific.

Nice view of the famous cathedral from the room, and across the main railway station from the corridor.

The lifts do not serve all floors of the building, but it was only a short flight of stairs to complete the journey to the room from where the lift finishes.
