The room was amazing , such a nice comfortable king size bed after a busy day walking around the Christmas markets, the hotel was amazing with nice breakfast , amazing bar and so many friendly people in the hotel to talk to , really wonderful experience
Very good location to access the Christmas Markets. Superb self-parking garage beneath the hotel. Welcoming lounge adjacent to the hotel’s bar. Lovely shower / bathroom; large king-size bed.
Excellent stay at Motel One Waidmarkt. Was able to check in as soon as we arrived, room was clean and towels were in good condition. Reception area/ bar modern and clean. Short walk away from the main centre which was fine for where we needed to be.
Nice clean and comfortable hotel in the walkable Altstadt of Cologne.
We were able to walk back from the Cathedral.
Did not try the breakfast due to price and there are bakeries and cafes nearby for a quick morning meal that we ate in the nice outdoor space of the hotel.
Room was deemed “small” by a colleague but was sufficient in my opinion. Small desk and large comfortable bed. Nice open shower.
AC isn’t quite as cool as you might be used to in the US but was enough and great to have in a heatwave.
On a loud and busy street but you wouldn’t know it from inside the hotel room, remarkable soundproofing!
Would be happy to stay here again.

We had 3 rooms which were all very clean and adequate. Breakfast was plentiful and of high quality. Hotel is in a very good position, just off the very centre but walking distance to train station, cathedral and pedestrian area. We had booked interconnecting rooms but they were not available as we arrived late in the evening.

Everything was awesome, clean and extremely silent
It was OK. Apparently, this is one of the cheapest places in the area. Rooms are small but comfortable. Breakfast is OK. The location is good, I think it’s 10 or 15 minutes to all the main attractions. The parking situation is pretty good. Also, you just park in the basement and there’s a door leading right to the hotel.
Lovely clean room. Staff very friendly. Bar always busy downstairs so must be good! Only issue we had was that the room was way too hot. The air conditioning didn’t work so we had to sleep with the window open and the main road is way too noisy
My friends and I very much enjoyed staying one night in this hotel. It’s got some nice decorations and design. Rooms are modern and up to date. Comfortable bedding. A bit disappointed in the breakfast buffet (15,90€ per person) selection and seating area… wouldn’t recommend it. Lounge area for evening drink is nice!
Friendly staff on arrival. Quick check-in process. Easy to find our room. Room was clean and modern. Quiet, no interruptions in the night. Tea/coffee making facilities would have made the room perfect! We had to get drinks in the bar area. Bar area also had friendly staff. The whole hotel had a nice ambience and was clean. Perfect for a mother/daughter weekend away.

Disliked: Amenities
Very impersonal and basic. Room had bare minimum in, like a student room, no toileteries other than pump dispense shower gel and no coathangers at all. Bleak. Breakfast was sparse and boring after day 1 - tiny selection of cold meat and cheeses, no crudites though fresh fruit salad was good. Huge queue one morning so we just went out to get something and did so the following days just because it was so much better, lively bar, which was the saving grace.. Good location to access the city.
