“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.”

Comfortable Stay Near Main Attractions
great location helpful staff play area breakfast buffet
The hotel is very close to the river. The front desk staff was helpful and accommodating. I found a great kids' area where children could play. The breakfast buffet offered many choices (it was really a good way to start the day!).
The room was a bit small, but not too much to become a real problem.

The hotel offers a superb breakfast with fresh pastries. There is a variety of choices that can satisfy everyone. I noticed the restaurant had perfect food. I especially liked the chicken schnitzel.

The rooms are modern and very clean. I stayed in a Family Room. The rooms have great views of the area and are very quiet. A speaker in the bathroom connects to the TV (that was a cool feature!).

This hotel is in a great location for all the city has to offer. It is within walking distance of the train station and the chocolate museum. The cathedral and other attractions are nearby. A scenic walk along the canal is steps away.
