Hilton Cologne

“One of the best Hiltons I have been to”

For the price, a very solid experience. I have stayed in dozens of Hilton globally, and the qualities vary hugely. This one ended up being clearly on the better side of Hiltons. Breakfast was very very good! Great variety, a cooking spot for eggs, enough staff, and not crowded at all. Room wa... lisää

Breakfast was very very good! Great variety, a cooking spot for eggs, enough staff, and not crowded at all. Room was spacious, clean and bed was confortable. Location is the best in city, a few steps away from everything.

We travelled by Eurostar and spent Christmas in Cologne. Duration 7 nights (arrived 21st December) Location - very easy to find from Cologne train station. To book: Easy if you book by credit card - not able to book from the UK by any other means. First impressions: Clean and well maintained reception. Small bar and reception. Large breakfast room with adjoining room for evening meal. Very busy hotel with people arriving/departing all the time. Our Room: It was huge, a King size bed overlooking the DOM. This was a lovely room with all facilities a person could want. Sauna. Although we didn’t have time to relax in the sauna we did ‘check it out’, and we noted the gym. There were not many people using it. Special thanks to all the friendly staff at the Hilton. Front office team were efficient and friendly. I loved the touch of the tokens given for coffee or alcoholic beverage. Simon (Chef) - we chose half board and ate a 3 course meal every night. Starters were either a consommé or salad, followed by either fish, chicken, pasta or burger. Desert was creme brûlée, apple pie or ice cream. The sauces that he made to go with the fish were especially nice. Thanks goes to Alper Gencel (Front of House - Breakfast), Waitresses Orhide and Luciana, Our Waiter for several evenings Nils and the bar staff were Julia, Thomas and Daniel all who tried to help me learn a few German phrases. I think I got used to giving my room number in German and saying good morning, afternoon or good night. My favourite phrase was merry Christmas, although I had to be corrected every time I said it. A great day starts with a good breakfast, and at the Hilton Hotel in Cologne you are served with a good breakfast. We chose to stay at The Hilton Hotel because of the short distance from the train station and the Kolner concert hall, and it was close to several Christmas markets. We didn’t have long to walk around the 9 or so markets, and due to the weather they were closed on the 21st December. We did however manage to visit Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market, Heinzels Winter Markets, Harbour Christmas Market. We did visit The Fragrance museum Farina and the Kolner Philharmonie several times. Unfortunately we couldn’t attend the Cathedral due to a high risk security operation going on, but the Police attendance didn’t stop us having fun. Thanks to the hotel for keeping us up to date regarding the matter.

“Fantastic”

A very nice hotel, conveniently next to the main railway station. Entry-level rooms are a little small but very functional with opening windows which was fantastic.

A very nice hotel, conveniently next to the main railway station. Entry-level rooms are a little small but very functional with opening windows which was fantastic. Breakfast is very extensive and the restaurant bar. Excellent. I thought the Hilton bar in Frankfurt was hard to beat, but the one in Cologne was equally as good if not better with excellent choice of drinks, beautiful decor, and good food.the hotel staff were lovely throughout.

“Great location, and shout-out to housekeeping!”

This hotel was in a very convenient location (close to train station and the cathedral). My standard room was clean and spacious - I just want to acknowledge the great housekeeping staff. Every single one I came upon was very hard-working and courteous. Even when I told one of the staff (on my way out) to skip my room that day but to just drop off extra coffee/cream, he asked for my room number and said he’d take care of it but still wanted to empty my trash. I’d read reviews about the elevators but thought nothing of it…until I had my own experience during my entire stay. What a fiasco. Even with my luggage, I wouldn’t have minded just taking the stairs, which I did. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that you couldn’t access the floors from the staircase (for security reasons); still, whenever I had to leave, I opted to take the stairs, which allowed me to reach the ground floor. It was the quickest way; otherwise, I’d be queueing up and waiting far too long.
