“I appreciate the Novotel Koeln City for its commitment to family stays, with free accommodation for children in family rooms. The modern design and Mediterranean dining add a layer of sophistication that stands out, and while not directly in the old town, it's a manageable walk, plus the views of the Rhine are a real treat.”
