"When we tried to check in, we were shocked to hear that the Hotel was overbooked and told by receptionist only when checking in. (Baggages were safekept in the hotel before checking in time.) We were asked to check-in to their sister’s hotel which is far from the current hotel(25 mins by bus + walk) and nothing was given to us to help us get there. But, due to our heavy baggages, we had to repeatedly ask the staff member for a room in the current hotel. Hence, the hotel staff returned our room where The room’s toilet is out of order, we have to go to the basement’s toilet when necessary. Luckily the staff was nice and tried to accommodate and gave us free breakfast due to the inconvenience. I am disappointed by how the hotel management treats their guest and there should have been a procedure in place (eg. compensation for guests by providing taxi/uber to and from the hotel due to the lack of room)"

"You would expect more from a trusted international brand like Pullman and as an Accor member, unfortunately the service was truly disappointing! Chose the brand despite the location being some distance away from Hbf. The hotel check-in reception spoilt our experience - cut us off extremely rudely when we tried to check in and said she can only deal with check outs at that time. There were no queue and no crowd at that moment and she refused to process any administration. WHope Pullman can step up the customer service experience in future."

Mondial am Dom Hotel Cologne - MGallery Collection

"This hotel's Cologne Cathedral view is absolutely breathtaking, but what was equally impressive were the location, service, and cleanliness. When I first arrived from the train station, I foolishly didn't look up the route properly and ended up dragging my heavy luggage up and down stairs, when I could have avoided them by taking a different path. Despite the difficult journey to the hotel, the staff greeted us so warmly and genuinely wished my sister a happy birthday that all my weariness turned into joy. And when we got to the room, we were greeted with such an amazing view and a beautiful room! Thanks to this, we had a wonderful time in Cologne for two days, listening to the bells of Cologne Cathedral. When checking out and heading back to the train station, I followed the staff's directions and found a flat, easy route back. Oh, the only minor inconveniences were the opaque glass in the bathroom and having to shower in the bathtub."

Steigenberger Hotel Köln ★★★★

"Our stay at Steigenberger Hotel Cologne was completely unacceptable. The air conditioning in our room was freezing and malfunctioning, despite numerous requests to reception. Staff gave us conflicting information, empty promises, and failed to coordinate or resolve the issue. This constitutes a clear breach of the services promised at booking. Under consumer rights and hotel service regulations, we demand an immediate full refund for this stay. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to escalate the matter through legal and consumer protection channels. Unser Aufenthalt im Steigenberger Hotel Köln war völlig inakzeptabel. Die Klimaanlage in unserem Zimmer war eiskalt und funktionierte nicht, trotz zahlreicher Meldungen an die Rezeption. Das Personal gab widersprüchliche Informationen, leere Versprechen und unternahm keinerlei Maßnahmen, das Problem zu beheben. Dies stellt eine klare Verletzung der bei der Buchung zugesicherten Leistungen dar. Nach Verbraucherrechten und Hotelservice-Vorschriften fordern wir die sofortige vollständige Rückerstattung. Sollte dies nicht erfolgen, sehen wir uns gezwungen, rechtliche und verbraucherschutzrechtliche Schritte einzuleiten."

Pullman Cologne ★★★★

"It is the perfect place to spend your time in Köln, just a 15-minute walk to the famous cathedral and 10 minutes to the city centre. Many food spots nearby (a 4-5 minute walk). It has a parking garage, which is very convenient for us. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay at Pullman. Highly recommended! 👍 Ps. Stunning view from the hotel during sunsets. I believe the other side of the hotel offers a clear view of the cathedral."
