The price-to-value gap at this hotel is enormous. For a nightly rate of €200-€250, the offerings are extremely limited and basic. The room was disappointingly small, including the bed and bathroom. Furthermore, the hotel lacks crucial amenities expected at this price point, such as a gym, swimming pool, or sauna. The cost appears entirely unjustified given the limited facilities. The breakfast also underperformed relative to the price; it consisted of only basic items and lacked better selections (e.g., smoked salmon) typically provided at hotels charging this rate. I believe this level of accommodation and service is more appropriately priced in the €100 to €150 range. Due to this experience, I will not be booking this hotel for my next business trip.
It was really nice. I scratched myself and went to reception for a band aid. They were really helpful.
Alles gut!
Prima
Great rooms, nice beds and clean badroom. Breakfast and lounge area are very nice. Overall outstanding!
Excellent service and nice stay. Only minus for breakfast I believe that there should be more versions of eggs for breakfast not only boiled eggs. Thank you once again for wonderful stay.
E war alles super :)
there was a smell in the room and no house shoes available..
It's always a pleasure to stay at this wonderful Motel!
Coole Location
Grand.
Alles top!
Alles Top, vom CheckIn bis CheckOut
A great stay at this Motel One thank you! Ideal location to explore Cologne, very clean rooms and communal areas and lovely staff!
The room was great and comfortable. The hotel is located perfectly and was very quiet. I only had 2 issues: 1. The breakfast wasn't worth the price in my opinion. Very basic without a warm option. Therefore I canceled the breakfast on the second day. 2. The cleaning staff opened my room door while I was sleeping. That was very concerning and uncomfortable. I also heard it happened to another colleague of mine. People should feel safe and comfortable in your hotel and I wasn't. I will still recommend your hotel but give them the heads up.
Alles super
Very friendly and flexible staff. Everything was on point .
Very cosy environment. Just lack of spa is the reason of non 10p score
I really like the room and the attention was perfect
Alles prima.
Good price versus quality in the center of Cologne.
The value for money is always great at Motel one
Alles gut
Alles super!
I´ve missed a bottle of water on the room - I´ve seen that you just get it if you are a Motel One member. Our group missed some scrambled eggs or any warm dishes for breakfast.
No issues with the room or the service from staff. Reception was friendly on check-in and checkout. The room was a good size, clean, quiet. It would have been nice to have a kettle and tea in the room. The location was a bit of a walk from the centre.
All was good apart from 1 thing. The sheets of our beds haven't been washed for quite some time, because I had been scratching my body for almost 4 days. it was like bites of mosquito bites on my body. The doctor said it might be Bed fleas from a lack of hygiene and washing. That is the only complaint I needed to make. Hygiene is very important.
Location location location and friendly customer service. Absolutely the best choice if you are participating at an event at Koelnmesse.
Great hotel and location,
Great location and great staff!
Super impressed. Friendly staff who speak several languages, clean, quiet and beautifully decorated. Recommended to many already.
That’s good
The hotel was very convenient and nice. The staff was very friendly & accommodating. Room was comfortable
I woke up at first night..Because It was so cold`` The duvet was very thin······ I also found the floor dirty```````
You cancelled my booking before I showed up at 8pm without warning! And the room was hot and I was told the cooking system was turned off to save money.
Alles prima.
Booking was complicated. Instead of three nights at once, I only had one night reserved, and had to return daily to the desk to enhance my stay for another night.
Alles war gut!
Room was good, bed was very comfortable, room was very quiet too. But the TV in the room was a basic TV that didn't have YouTube or the Bluetooth connection was not working. There was no glassware in the bathroom, I had to use a paper cup. I really wished the room had a kettle. Breakfast service was chaotic.This is my third time staying in a motel one hotel. Previously stayed in Edinburgh and Manchester. This is the worst one I have been in and it will be my last one . It was like staying in an overpriced youth hostel for the middle aged. Never again.
There was a mixup with the person in the breakfast area. He couldnt find out wether I had booked breakfast so I left without eating
I Have stayed motel one lots of time prag wien paris madrid munich etc etc so i was always pleased and when i travel yo europe i always want to choose motel one but this time my room is cold aircontition was not working hotel staff could not fix it and iam sorry Thanks
Clean Hotel, decent location, staff are pleasant and helpful. Rooms are decent but basic. No bar fridge, or coffee maker/kettle in rooms. Lounge has all the features of drinks and food if you opt for the breakfast $ option. Bar staff were excellent.
Very busy at breakfast at weekend not really enough space for a relaxed breakfast. Week days were fine.
Lovely Hotel and well situated. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Room as good as always Breakfast far too overcrowded
Great hotel. Location is brilliant if visiting Cologne. Room is good, a little bit too warm for us and the Aircon didn't work
Nice hotel. With motel one, you always consistently get the same. It‘s not fancy, but it‘s always a good slightly above average standard. This time, unfortunately, it was too cold at night. The airco was not able to heat the room enough.
A home away from home while on a business trip.
clean, great atmosphere, friendly staff .. a great stay
Good, reliable quality. Clean, safe, conveniently located. Nice bar, ok breakfast. However, rooms could be slightly larger.
Switch on. beOne.

Cologne
Spend the night in the heart of the cathedral city
Stories and stereotypes about “Kölle” abound, and it's high time to find out whether they have any truth to them. Our centrally located design hotels welcome you to Germany's fourth-largest city on the Rhine.
Cologne is famous for its cheerful Rhenish attitude, its cosmopolitan lifestyle and the colourful carnival. Of course, all these elements are reflected in the design of our Motel One Cologne-Waidmarkt, Motel One Cologne-Mediapark and Motel One Cologne-Neumarkt. Our innovative hotels offer great service and a wonderful place to rest, relax and explore. As all Motel One hotels, our Cologne locations boast affordable rooms with comfortable box-spring beds and free Wi-Fi. Start your day with a healthy breakfast in the most cheerful city in Germany.
Budget design hotels in Cologne – your Motel One
Anyone visiting Cologne – be it on a weekend trip, city break or for business – will encounter the famous humour of its inhabitants. Don’t miss a taste of the delicious Kölsch to take in the Rhenish atmosphere in full. The attractive city centre is only a stone's throw away from our design hotels.
Looking back on more than 2,000 years of history, Cologne is a worthy destination for lovers of art and architecture. Cologne Cathedral, the unmistakable symbol and centrepiece of the city, towers above all other buildings and makes for an excellent photo opportunity – especially in combination with the nearby Hohenzollernbrücke bridge. Adorned with countless padlocks attached to the bridge by couples wishing to immortalise love, the Hohenzollernbrücke is both a place for romantics and a link between the railway line, Deutz district and the central station. The city on the Rhine has something for anyone. Cologne natives know: "Jede Jeck es anders".
Those looking to sample the traditional Rhenish cuisine will be welcomed into countless breweries offering the ubiquitous Kölsch on tap alongside local delicacies such as the Rhenish pot roast or “halve Hahn”. Their waiters are called “Köbes” in these parts – you’ll have no trouble identifying them by their gruff demeanour. Don't worry: they don't really mean it.
A charming old town, relaxing riverbank and our very own chocolate museum
After a tour of the old town, we recommend an extensive walk along the Rhine. Germany's longest river presents itself at its most beautiful here, nestled between the Rheinauhafen and the Rhine terraces. Set against a picturesque backdrop featuring old gabled houses, intricate alleyways and little churches, the Rhine promenade is a wonderful spot to meander and sunbathe. If the weather is poor, just grab an umbrella.
The Romano-Germanic Museum, situated within easy reach of our hotel and overlooked by the cathedral, showcases the archaeological history of the city. Ranging from antique mosaics and early medieval jewellery to the largest collection of Roman glasses in the world, its collection impressively presents the exciting history of the cathedral city to interested visitors. If you prefer clubs, bars, cafés and the vibrant nightlife of Cologne, head to the Ehrenfeld district. The carnival never stops around here and you’ll definitely never get bored. Just leave it to the people of Cologne.
