Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Holiday Inn Express Cologne Muelheim is often praised for its excellent breakfast, featuring a good choice of options that are regularly replenished. Guests appreciate its convenient location close to the city and near the motorway, with public transport links within walking distance. Some guests have found the family rooms with a sofa bed a bit small for three people. The hotel offers amenities such as a car park in front for a fee and is also favorably located for dog owners, being just a short walk from the river Danube and a traditional German restaurant.

The staff was helpful. The breakfast was tasty and included a good choice of items! The rooms were clean and tidy.
The room was too small with twin beds. It was not really worth the price I paid for one night, I think! Other guests were smoking right in front of the entrance. It was a health risk.
