Hotel Cristall - Köln

Decent rooms. Walking distance from all downtown attractions. Friendly staff. And close to the train station. Maybe a little too close to the train station (not a picturesque view), but I was in for business and too tired from travel for it to be of any concern.

The location was convenient to the main train station and to the cathedral and museums.

I got an complimentary upgrade for a comfort room and it was wonderful! It was very spacious, clean, and had very modern furniture. Awesome service!

Effecient, decent place and very well located.

the hotel is a good choise for everyone who wants to to travel to cologne, it`s optimaly close to the next metro station and to central station, it`s also near the dom and town center. Very good breakfast buffet!

A perfectly acceptable 3 star property about 3 minutes flat walk from the main railway station and the Cathedral. Well situated for the annual Christmas Markets (though most hotels in the city centre would be). Clean and most comfortable and good knowledgable service from the staff. My room was large but lacked net curtains so had to draw main curtains […] if any privacy was required as room was overlooked by nearby properties. Bathroom large with good ammenities - excellent shower but no bath. Morning continental style breakfast was well provisioned with plenty of choice and some hot items. No restaurant at property but there was a bar / lounge but this was expensive. Would recomend this hotel and would use again if ever in Cologne. Mehr

The only minus point was that because it was near the railway tracks, it could be a little bit noisy. That was not a big problem for me. Other than that, it is nothing but excellant.

Near to the Dom and the railstation. Clean & neat

Spent 3 nights - location approx 5 min walk from Dom and Main Railway station. Convenient for sightseeing. (Christmas Markets, DOM and museums). Modern clean and efficiently run hotel. Clean rooms, comfy beds. Only item lacking was a tea/coffee maker in the room. Otherwise very good including the self service breakfast which was good quality.

nice hotel , really quirky room with a random bit of art in the middle of the room . good sized room only bad point noisy at night due to railway and main road

The single room is very small and uncomfortable,

updated contemporary, great inclusive breakfast, 5 min walk from the HBF, very good location.

Excellent location, a 5 minute (safe) walk from the train station. The purpose of my trip was business, requiring regular train access, so the location was perfect for me. My walks were early in the morning and late at night and I felt completely safe everytime. Good restaurants with reasonable rates and excellent food were located very closeby. The […] hotel was comfortable and had everything I required. Ironing of business clothes was performed in a separate room on the third floor, however. Morning breakfast was included in the stay and was not fancy, but was able to carry me through the day. I would not hesitate to stay again. Mehr

Hotel Cristall is a very convenient 5 minute walk from the main station (Cologne Hbf). The reception are is modern and inviting, but the hotel is situated between a dual carriageway on one side and the railway lines of Cologne station on another. You might want to ask for a room on the quieter Church side - as long as you don't mind being woken up by […] church bells at 7am each morning! Breakfast is simple but good and the hotel staff friendly. Rooms and bathroom are on the small side and don't be surprised to find one of those old-style in-window air-conditioning systems in your room as the hotel doesn't have piped aircon. That said, it's a great little business hotel as long as you don't mind things being clean and simple. And the wi-fi is probably one of the fastest I've come across. I'll definitely stay there again.

Hotel is conveniently located, about 5-10mins away from Cologne Hauptbanhof, with a supermarket and some restaurants nearby. However, one wing of the hotel is facing the main road. The sounds of moving vehicles and trains goes on throughout the day and night and can be disturbing for a light sleeper. The other wing faces a side street and is much quieter. […] The hairdryer in my room broke down one night and when I requested for a spare, I was told that the spare hairdryer had been loaned to another hotel guest and there were no more hairdryers. I find this baffling given that there are 97 rooms in the hotel. The front desk staff apologised for the inconvenience without suggestion of alternatives. I had to ask the staff if i could use the hairdryer in another room as I was unable to get to sleep with wet hair. Thankfully the staff allowed me to do so. The faulty hairdryer in my room was also efficiently replaced by the next night. Hotel room is clean generally and buffet breakfast, though a little limited in variety was alright. Staff are friendly. Mehr

Very convenient for the railway station. Clean and well-appointed rooms and a very good breakkfast buffet. All at an affordable price.

the room is clean and comfortable but the bed and pillows are too soft. No air-conditioner in the room which is not that great for summer time !!! The buffet breakfast is very good especially the variety of bread and all are delicious. Location is ok, close to the train station but the surrounding is a bit quiet.

The hotel was lovely and the location perfect

Stayed at Hotel Cristall for a night in Aug 2011. Location is awesome. Very friendly and helpful...definitely recommend!

Although we planned only three nights, my daughter and I extended our stay an additional two nights at this fine little hotel. Located near the main railroad station and within a few blocks of the Cologne Cathedral and the old (2000 years dating to the Romans) town, the Cristall is very convenient with friendly staff, an excellent breakfast buffet and […] staff that spoke excellent English. Although I speak fluent German, this was convenient for my 11 year old daughter whose German knowledge is limited. Rooms were a bit pricey but... what the heck, it's vacation. Mehr

Love this hotel, very convenient to the Cathedral, not too far from the water. Lots of places to eat and drink on the street next to the hotel. 3 minutes from the Train station. Clean. Very comfortable for a weekend stay in Koln. Price is always resonable for what you get. Breakfast was great too. Definitely recommend it for a couple or friends, not […] sure if they have bigger rooms for families. Mehr

I would fully recommnend this hotel. I stayed here for four nights and I had no complaints at all. Very convenient location....only a few minutes walk from the main train station and from the city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the single room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable. Similarly, the en-suite was of a high standard. When […] I'm next in Cologne I will be staying here again. Mehr

Missisng public-computer i reception-aera.

Let me start by saying this is a nice hotel. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was amazingly great. The room was pretty good size. The hotel is very close to the HBF train station and the Cologne Cathedral. However, this is part of the problem. To get to the hotel you can of high to go up the street and then over and back down […] in a U shape. This won't make any sense until you actually go, but the issue is you end up adjacent to the train station which means you will hear trains constantly. This wouldn't be such a big deal except for the fact that the standard rooms do NOT have Air Conditioning! Despite what the room description says only the upgraded rooms in the newer part of the hotel have AC. So we had to have our windows open at night and it was noisy as heck. My wife could not sleep at all. Combine the above with the fact that the bed was not comfortable at all. It was very very firm and the pillows were terrible. For these reasons I cannot recommend this hotel even though it was conveniently located, everyone was nice, and the breakfast was great. Mehr

very good value for money hotel in a convenient location 5 min walk from main train station. room small but perfectly adequate for a short one or two night stay. friendly staff and good breakfast included in price. could not be beaten for hotel on a budge.

It is located ideally and very close to station and cathrederal. The staff/Manager at the reception was very helpful and responded very well to some of my emergency problems. Breakfast was good with varities of fruits, breads, cheese, salads etc. etc.

We loved the original decor and spacious room. Lots of thought has gone into the design and convenience. The air conditioning could be better as motorway noise stopped us opening the window and we got hot at night. A brief description of how to get there from the nearby train station would have been good as we got disorientated and lost in the Cathedral […] Square eg keep the Cathedral on your left, turn right at the roundabout then left at the end of the road. Otherwise excellent. Mehr

The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof, so is quite central. The room was clean and I felt there was enough space. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here if I visited Cologne again.

The hotel was very nicely kept and the staff were very good. The room was somewhat stuffy and there was no air-con. However, I would happily stay there again.

Stayed here in June 2011. Found the hotel to be very comfortable and clean. All the staff were friendly and spoke fluent English as do most Germans (puts us Brits to shame). The buffet breakfast was more than adequate and the location of the hotel was perfect; about 5-10 walk from the Dom. Overall this is a great little hotel and would def go back.... […] I would recommend this hotel to others !!!!! Mehr

This was a great deal. Very good price and great location. It is close to shops, train station, and restaurants. The rooms are a decent size, bed comfortable and best of all, they have AC!

Hotel Cristall is well situated near the HBF in Cologne. It is neat and tidy with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfasts are real good. Staff speak English as well which was a bonus.

A great hotel. The room was simple and modern with plenty of space. Although the hotel is close to the main train station in Cologne, the neighborhood is quiet at night. The breakfast bar was fresh with a fantastic variety of fruits, cereals, breads and meats. A great experience!

Quite central within walking distance from the Railway station. Being central, it was quieter than I thought even on the first floor. Buffet breakfast was good plus free wireless internet.

The hotel is close to all atractions and close to the train station.All the staff were freidly with ready smiles and greatings. Breakfast was good and not to early finnishing.The room was clean and quiet at night.Very good value for money. Take a trip to Bonn if you have time.

We were a bit nervous when driving up...outside appearance doesn't say much during the day. Perfect location to Cathedral, water, St. Ursula church, and Train station. Good part of town, lots of places to eat when walking out the door to the right. For price...location was well worth it!

The hotel is great value providing clean comfortable accommodation and an excellent buffet breakfast. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the railway station and cathedral (it is next to the railway line), ideally located to explore central Cologne on foot. There are good restaurants close by. Be prepared for lots of church bells early in the morning! […] The only negative comment would be that the room was very hot, cooled down with a rather noisy fan. However, this would not stop me going back! Mehr

the hotel staff are friendly and bi lingual,hotel is a short walk to the main train station,,good breakfast.comfortable room,i cant fault the hotel in any way,great place to stay in colonge

The hotel is situated very close to the main train station and the "Dom" Cathedral, being roughly a 5 minute walk away. The large shopping street is also close by. The hotel itself was very comfortable and reasonably priced. The bathroom and beds were cleaner than most hotels we have stayed at in Europe, and the buffet breakfast is very good. Stylish, […] comfortable, clean and convenient location - well recommended. Mehr

The airport baggage department experienced problems that resulted in an approximate 5 day wait for my luggage. The hotel staff were very helpful in providing needed toiletries and assisted greatly by communicating and coordinating the return of my luggage with the airline.

Good location relative to main train station. Nice staff and good breakfast. Extremely worn out bed and a lot of street noise came through the air conditioner. Do not expect to sleep well here.

A charming little hotel and excellent value for money. The bed and pillow were extremely comfortable and the room was warm. The breakfast was a delicious selection and coffee excellent. This hotel is close to the main train station and restaurants, particularly the 'Little Italy' restaurant just around the corner (although as a woman travelling alone […] I preferred to get take-away in daylight rather than walk the short distance alone in the night). Mehr

I stayed in one of the comfort rooms, and so cannot speak to the standard rooms' quality. My room was lovely, minimalist (which I like) and comfortable. The hotel looks quite unimposing from the outside, but inside is nicely appointed. My room was in a separate annex, and accessed by a little outside walkway and quite chic set of stairs. It was warm […] (important in winter in Cologne!), and had a good bathroom. The breakfast is included, and was very good. It offers cereals, pastries, toast, fruit salad, cold meats, eggs, sausages, yoghurts, fruit juices, and tea & coffee. No complaints whatsoever. Checkout was very easy as well, all in all I would definitely visit again and recommend to others. Mehr

Good location for the HBF, amazing breakfast. Only downside was cost!

This is a fairly small, modern, friendly hotel near to central station in Cologne. I was visiting the region (exploring nearby Dusseldorf, Bonn and Bruhl) and this was an excellent base - it's very easy to get around. It's close to the Rhine, the cathedral and all the other places. There are a number of restaurants close by. Breakfast was good (meat, […] cheese, breads, fruit, yogurt etc) and the dining room is bright and pleasant. Would definitely recommend it as a reasonably priced city centre hotel in Cologne. Mehr

Very friendly and convenient hotel. The room was very spacious - sofa & bed! all the decor is modern and bright. The breakfast was great for setting us up for the day, There was a bar in the hotel - was a bit quiet. Location-wise, the hotel was very close to the station and within walking distance of the sites. There's a super friendly Italian restaurant […] / deli round the corner that is well worth a visit! Cologne is a great, chilled city and the hotel fits with this! Mehr
