Nice hotel but poor service

The room was nice and cozy but the beer at the bar was disgusting and the waitress never gave a menu and didn’t understand basic English. The A/C didn’t work but the complaint never addressed

Simple, clean, comfortable

I had a comfortable stay for two nights in Köln Messe. It was nice to have a modern spacious room. It was appointed with just the right, basic touches. That’s what I needed in the price and I got that.

Even the non-"budget" Ibis is rather budget

Cons: only a couple power outlets in room, and not close to bed/nightstands. Weird pod-like bathroom. No dressers or mini-fridge, so fairly small and spartan room. Location is fair for tram but a hike for the trains. Very few walkable places around the hotel, more industrial area. At one point in morning, staff actually entered our room while we were still trying to sleep, which annoyed us. Pros: nice, posh lobby. Modern and good condition rooms and beds.

Lovely hotel for a city break

Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl. They went to Cologne for the Christmas markets. They booked an Ibis hotel and totally loved their experience. The hotel was a 20 minute walk to the cathedral over a beautiful bridge. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Awesome place!

Clean budget hotel in good location

This was a good hotel. I like that they are very clean and simple. However if u do not like budget hotels it won't be for u - I could have done with extra pillows. You can walk in to the centre, as we did, but u would need to be keen walkers as it takes about 30mins.
