Top Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum Hotel Reviews

CityClass Hotel am Dom

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and helpful staff!"

Maritim Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"Very Professional friendly staff. Check-in was slow bc everyone came back at the same to @ 3pm for admission. Front desk was superb bc they held my heavy bag until check-in was available. Huge, Huge Hotel! Lots of restaurants & (3) to (4) Huge conference rooms to use. Wow! I love the decor of this hotel, and the fact they had not only a huge swimming pool, but a gym, steam room & my favorite a Sauna room as well. Staff is always available for you. I’d definitely, recommend this Hotel not only to business travelers but just for a quick break from a business trip. I came in from the Netherlands just for a mental break, and I was happy I chose this hotel. If you have a large group to do business I’d suggest you check out their pricing for a conference room because theirs can accommodate easily over 500 people and they have a private reception for your guests. Restaurants on deck to accommodate with food as well. High End- top notch Hotel. I recommend it!"

Steigenberger Hotel Köln

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific hotel and an amazing staff."

art'otel Cologne

8/10 Good

"Great room. Nice view on the Rhine side. There is a gas station across the street with many supplies that help when you are in a bind."

NH Köln Altstadt

8/10 Good

"Bar was closed for 2 of 4 evenings and the Saturday breakfast service was overloaded (not enough staff to clear tables). Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Also had problems every day with the AirCon as my laptop blew the circuit breaker twice - had to move room and ended with no AC. Was given a bar voucher (except bar not open) Staff friendly, very clean and well located - but problem solving turned into problem explaining and not resolving. Will use again, but surprised for this typically good brand of hotel."

Premier Inn Köln City Süd

8/10 Good

"Good location on the outskirts of town. Was quite a bit of noise with being close to the rail and road so would recommend ear plugs. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly."

Hotel Mondial am Dom Cologne - MGallery

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in the central part of Cologne. Right by the Dom. Clean fresh rooms. Healthy breakfast available for purchase. Probably one of the best hotels in Cologne."

Mauritius Hotel & Therme

8/10 Good

"Why to pay extra for spa when you book spa hotel from the beginning?"

Hyatt Regency Cologne

10/10 Excellent

"Location is amazing! Hospitality too :)"
