"The only negative comment I would make is that the room was not air-conditioned, but the staff provided a portable air conditioner and a fan which made the room comfortable at night."

“Hotel Merian provides a functional base for exploring Cologne, particularly for short stays where proximity to the main train station is a priority. While some aspects show their age, the larger-than-average rooms and available on-site parking add practical value. In my opinion, the hotel suits travelers focused on seeing the city's sights and needing convenient access to transportation.”
