Köln Hoteller i Kalk

It is located in a rather quiet area of the city, but with pretty easy access to subway. The sightseeing places are on the other side of the river. So if you prefer an "instant" access to those places, then this hotel might be a little out of the range. A LIDL supermarket is only within 5 min walk to the hotel, which we found very convenient.

Clean Hotel, close to major intersections, service provided by the night manager was excellent. At first, the first reception was that we can't have an extra bed for our child (she asked us to requested ahead of time in the future stay????), then we spoked to the night manager (he was a latin manager) and he was very helpful in accomodating our needs. Thanks!!!

Room was decent, full size mattress instead of 2 twins (which I've come to expect in Europe), plenty of space, good location - away from the city center so it was quiet, but not too far that it was inconvenient to go sightseeing The water temperature in the shower wasn't consisitent - it would stay where we set it, then suddenly be cold for about 20 seconds, go back to normal, then be near scalding. It didn't matter what time of the day we took a shower, we always had the same problem. The free parking is limited to about 8 spaces, so you're pretty much stuck with the paid parking. The electricity goes off when you leave the room (which is fine), but that also includes the air conditioning. Also, the trains were a little loud and ran all night, so if you slept with the windows open, you couldn't get away from them.

Comfort, staff

breakfast is what I'll remember for longer time. or better saying the quality of the breakfast.

It was very clean and modern. It was spacious and the bathroom was large and had a huge bath. The breakfast had a larger variety of food than I normally expect in a German hotel and it was deliciously fresh. The staff were very friendly, honest (I dropped my gold necklace somewhere in the bedroom without noticing and it was placed on my bedside table when I returned to the room) and keen to help. Changing money willingly for trams etc. There was no restaurant other than the breakfast room. There was a really good restaurant across the road, recommended by the hotel, which served high quality food - you need to book as it gets very busy. It was 5 - 10 mins walk to the tram which took you directly into Cologne. Easy and convenient for us but perhaps difficult if you have trouble walking.

Friendly staff, decent breakfeast. Traffic and Airplane noises very loud. Also, very dry air in the hotel, management knew about this and said they where trying to fix the problem. Many people where complaining in regards to this during checkout. Beds/Mattresses way to soft.

Its lying right in the landing zone of the nearby airport and one side of the hotel faces the highway which is loud too. This means that you need to keep you windows closed otherwise its very noisy.

The rooms were big.Breakfast was normal. The hotel was near to the airport and there was a big building in the neighborhood,so it was so noisy all the time.The mattress was so bad, it made sounds.The price for this kind of hotel was too much.

Welcoming, friendly, helpful owner couple. Basic comfort but most importantly clean modern en suite clean bed linen. Good location for Conference/Exhibiton Centre or City. Stained carpet.

Good!!! Little house

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very nice for a family room. There was actually two separate WC/bathrooms to the room. The room and breakfast was very basic, but still acceptable.

Leaving They at first claimed that they couldn't find my booking (even when I showed them on their computer screen). We asked for a non-smoking room, but was fitted with ash-trays and smelled of smoke. The constant loud road noise kept us up all night (even with ear plugs) - we received this room even though we asked for one not facing the street...the beds were very uncomfortable.

The staff was very, very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was basic but good. The underground is closeby. There is a big parking right across the hotel. This hotel is ideal if you decide to visit Köln by car and are looking for a cheap but decent place to stay. I have no remarks. The hotel is very basic, so if you are used to a lot of luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a cheap, decent place to stay for only a few nights, I'd recommend it.

It was very difficult to find the hotel.
