Courtyard by Marriott Cologne

We came for a 3 night/4 day break from the UK for my daughters 14th birthday. We were on the early flight from London Stanstead) and got to the hotel around 9.30am. The check-in was supposed to be 3pm but the staff were very accommodating and we managed to get a room with very little wait. We were very pleased with the staff and how helpful they were. It was nice to relax and freshen up before heading into the city after the flight, especially in February when the temperature was pretty low during the mornings (mind you it was warmer and sunnier with clear blue skies than the UK - so we did not complain at all). The room was spacious, the bed was a great size for us to share and the room was clean and modern, we were facing a side road but did not bother us in the slightest. The location is great, within walking distance to most attractions and we did not need public transport to get around at all. When you get out of Bonn/Koln airport you buy a train ticket from the ticket machine between 1-2Euros each and put destination (CGN KOLNBONN AIRPORT TO KOLN-ALTSTADT-NORD, DAGOBERTSTRABE 23) you then catch the train S19 (approx 4 stops) less than 30mins. (visa versa - on your return home) then it will be a 10 minute walk to the hotel. The experience was simple enough for us both and we felt safe and area well lit during the early hours we had to travel to the airport. I find it always helpful to put as much as possible to help your fellow traveller) The hotel had a modern, spacious, relaxed restaurant downstairs and we went there on the last night and had the burger (which was huge!! for one) and tomato soup which was delicious. There was no need to book and very convenient for us. All attractions were in the vicinity and we walked around the city in ease, after 2 days were felt confident and knew the area well. We only booked the chocolate museum before we travelled, everything else we paid as we go. 2-3 days more then enough to see Cologne/Koln.

Staff was very responsive and courteous and attentive !!! Room size was very good !!! Facilities in room was very good !!! Breakfast was excellent and had great variety !!! Commuting within Cologne and travelling outside Cologne facilities available at the main railway station - a 15 minute walk from the hotel !!! Good eating options and supermarkets at the railway station !!!

A comfortable hotel with a good location. If you’re traveling to big cities by car, you specifically choose hotels with parking. However, when we arrived, we were told that the parking was full and that they don’t guarantee parking for anyone. Additionally, if you’re traveling with your dog, they charge €50 whether you stay for one day or five days (as someone who frequently travels with a dog, I can say this price is extremely high). Apart from all this, it is undoubtedly a high-quality and nice hotel.

The room was lovely and the bed so comfy. The staff also went the extra mile to make sure our anniversary trip was special. The local restaurants and bars are really handy too, and a little better value for money than in the centre

The room was very clean and wide. A lot of light inside which is, for me, very good during the day. the bathroom was big, the shower was super clean! I really enjoyed the room.
