Very pleased with the room.
Very clean room and comfortable bed. Spacious shower. What impressed me the most though was the noise insolation of the windows. My room was located facing a busy street that had traffic both day and night. Yet once I shut the window the traffic could barely be heard. In general the furnishing of the room was decent. The TV could have been more modern with more smart TV functions to be able to watch one’s favorite shows after a long day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great bargain in a good location of the city.
Overall, a good hotel and good experience, however: I asked at the bar for a wheat beer and was told that that they did not sell it (despite it being in the bar menu) - another member of my group than ordered a wheat beer, and I also had one (after being served by a different member of staff!). Possibly 'lost in translation'. We had breakfast on our second morning, where we were intending to 'set ourselves up ' for the journey home. A good selection was available, but hot options would have been nice.
Gratis late check out Danke
Tolles Stadthotel,
The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my stay, making my travel experience truly enjoyable.
nice atmosphere, warm welcome, room was ready although I arrived prior to 3pm What I do not understand is breakfast price: EUR 17,90; for business traveller this is not acceptable
Smooth check-in and out, clean room, bed and towels and friendly crews. Price is absolutely fair. What else do you need!? I just had a nice experience, thank you!
Alles top.
I made order November 2024 and I wrote in e-mail that I want to book 3pcs TWIN room. After that you said okey and sent invoice and everything was okey until you sent e-mail 2 days before arrival that you do not have twin rooms but only double. Men needed to sleep in same bed which is not okey.
My daughter said “Why can’t all hotels be like this.” Our stay was incredible. All of the front desk people were extremely polite, professional, helpful, and friendly. The lobby area was impeccable. The rooms (and hallway) were fresh, modern, clean, and just really nice. You truly live up to your marketing. I’m not joking when I say your hotel was so much nicer than a lot of the luxury chain hotels I have stayed at. I loved the hip vibe.
Thanks a lot to the team for an excellent stay and support. The ladies who work at the reception are super friendly and helpful. Your bar is just beyond! This stay was the best experience in your network. Can't wait to come back.
I don’t care for the carpet in the rooms and during hotter months a little fridge would be nice. That being said: the staff was absolutely lovely, my stay was a short one but I’ll make sure my next one will be with M1 again.
Good experience in your Hotel except only 2 coffee machines during the breakfast for so much people
Hervorragendes Hotel-Team.
Really professional check in at the reception. Very friendly. I was not expecting this.
As someone visiting from overseas, I felt very safe and well taken care of during my stay at the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nice, lean and tidy. The room was small, but well appointed and clean. The location is also okay for the city.
Compact, clean and well-designed. As usual!
I enjoyed my stay thoroughly, the room was very comfortable. My only 2 complaints are the TV and the AI Art on the wall. The TV would sometimes be a bit problematic, turning itself off for no reason. And a few more english entertainment focused channels wouldn't hurt The AI Art really was a shame, for a hotel chain that prides itself in Design the use of cheap looking AI Art definitely felt lazy and uninspired
Overall it was a good experience. The staff at the reception desk are not friendly and they are not willing to help me out with the laptop charger issue I had.
Alles Top!
The staff at this motel are top notch! Thomas the bar manager knows his craft. He is a great leader for the rest of the staff that we met; Elli, Miguel, Bes, and Samantha). When we come back to Cologne we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for all you do.
Top Hotel Guter Servvice

The stay was comfortable but the breakfast was not. The lounge was full of people (I think the seatings are not enough for the capacity of the hotel) - we had to wait in the line for half an hour. If we had known this, we would not pay for the breakfast earlier. Next time we will not go for breakfast.
Amazing check in experience, super nice and efficient!
Overall a very good stay which met my expectations. A couple of notes for improvement: - Tea and coffee facilitiies in-room or access to free tea and coffee as in most other hotels would be great - Bar service was very chaotic as the hotel was very busy - perhaps consideer additional staff on shift to improve this.
First time in this Motel One in Cologne. Smart business hotel close to the city center. A little bit too croweded at b'fast. But never the less as always with Motel One, good experience.
Prima
1. Not business traveller friendly - BROKEN WIFI 2. NO WIFI on the night of 27 Nov 2024 at Motel One Köln-Waidmarkt, Cologne. 3. No kettle for tea and coffee in room. 4. No iron board facility in room.
Clean room, quite place, comfortable beds, perfect service in reception, very satisfied.
- 100% what you'd expect of a Motel One room - Good drinks, friendly personelle with expertise and charme - adequate pricing

Very nice, clean and comfortable hotel.
Comfortable room, but small, could have done with a little more space to put things Would have liked coffee/tea available (lounge coffees expensive ) Hotel as a whole felt too big
Hotel is good, only the rooms are to warm and cooling wasn’t working. Opening windows for room at the front due to road sounds is not ideal.
Motel One: Best choice for my business trip all around Germany
very nice service, at the reception, during breakfast and cleaning. The breakfasts were very tasty, I'm a vegan and I had a wide selection of dishes. When there were no options, right after asking if they had more, it was immediately added. I didn't even have to say anything because I saw you reporting everything.
Alles gut.
Very warm welcom by the receptionnist Manon providing us all the needed information. The room was very well soundproofed, beautiful and clean. We appreciated the beautiful bar to enjoy a dring by the end of the days and friendliness of the barman. A very good experience, hope to come back on day there, anyway I will recommend the hotel.
War alles Bestens!
Very comfortable hotel, convenient location. Bright, clean rooms. High-quality taps in the bathroom. The only thing that caused inconvenience was the cold floor in the bathroom (we arrived on cold nights in September).
Relatively close to central city Morning buffet was sufficient Coffee was good Rooms were adequate size Single room was a bit too small to what I am used to TV offered few English language choices Toilet seat was cold ( Japanese are accustomed to warmed seats and bidet ) Shower pressure was low Shower temperature fluctuated during shower Single shampoo & bodywash works but made me question it Not much of a view
Alles prima
All was good except that the bathroom was not tidy, all the accessories were in the washbasin.
Clean and cost rooms and lobby. Especially the night shift team delivered a professional service while being super kind. Respect and thanks towards the team
Nice and comfortable hotel with friendly and welcoming staff. Comfortable room including king size bed ,large t.v. nice bathroom suite and added bonus of a safety deposit safe in the room..
Motel One Cologne-Waidmarkt is a really nice hotel, well situated either for a leisure visit or business in Cologne. Good sized rooms with comfortable beds, a very good breakfast and friendly, helpful staff.

A CITY WITH A SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE
Our hotel in the south of Cologne’s historic city centre is a smooth (and reasonably priced) operator – not least because it takes its cues from the city’s famous Eau de Cologne and the river water from which it was originally made. Located directly on the Waidmarkt, the design of our Motel One revolves around 4711, as the local cologne is also known, and the river Rhine. You’ll feel like you’re diving into a pool of cool water when you check in at the wave-shaped reception desk of our hotel. Don’t worry, though: you’re guaranteed to stay dry. Take a look at the works from the photo series titled ‘Kopfüber’ (upside down), which offer a unique bird’s-eye view of the freight and passenger ships that travel each day along one of the busiest rivers in the world. Swim with the current directly into our Motel One lounge – simply follow the stylised bridge across the Rhine that stretches along the walls. Here, we also pay respect to the city’s signature perfume and the time-honoured brand name 4711, as evidenced by the LED wall behind the bar. In keeping with the theme, our friendly staff will be more than happy to serve you water, although you can opt for something else to quench your thirst if you’d prefer. Here’s what else we have to offer in our design hotel in Cologne: a balanced organic breakfast, free WLAN, parking spaces, comfy box-spring beds and modern rooms. In short: stylish accommodation at the best price right in the heart of the city centre - your hotel Cologne-Altstadt.
Motel One Cologne-Altstadt is located right between the two largest squares in the city: Neumarkt and Heumarkt. The Poststraße underground station is right by our affordable hotel and will take you directly to and from Cologne Central Station. Whether you’re looking to explore the centre or head further afield,
the hotel’s excellent location means that all sights in the northern and southern part of the old town are within easy reach. The originally Roman city centre is only a few hundred metres away. Shopaholics will be glad to know that Hohe Straße and Schildergasse offer countless options for extensive retail therapy. The famous Cologne Cathedral and Roman-Germanic Museum are just a little over a kilometre from our hotel, making it perfect for history buffs, while any number of entertainment options are also a mere stone’s throw away. If you’re in the mood for some creature comforts, you’ll feel right at home in Cologne’s many cafés and restaurants. There’s also the nearby Chocolate Museum. How about a concert or an event? From our hotel, you can reach Lanxess Arena in the city’s Deutz neighbourhood in no time at all. Experience the fragrant history of this city on the Rhine and be our guest at Motel One Cologne-Altstadt in the heart of a bustling metropolis.
