TRYP by Wyndham Köln City Centre

“Good value”

Though the furniture in the room could use some refreshing, this hotel was a good value for the price. Excellent staff, working elevator, clean and tidy room, and excellent location. I’m a budget traveler and would stay here again.

“Taranartos”

This was a nice hotel. A few minor hickups, like Alfredo coffee but showing it off as Nespresso. Another thing was the promised parking space. I had no room and had to search for a parking space to park my van. This costed me another 40 euro which I thought you would look for as a kind of service... more

This was a nice hotel. A few minor hickups, like Alfredo coffee but showing it off as Nespresso. Another thing was the promised parking space. I had no room and had to search for a parking space to park my van. This costed me another 40 euro which I thought you would look for as a kind of service. Offcourse, a van is not a usual travel car for most, but we few , we happy few, need a van for work and thus were having bigger expense then I expected

“Budget Friendly, Relatively Clean, and Walking Distance to Major Attractions & Trains”

This hotel had several pluses with the main one being its primo location. It is perfectly situated to be able to visit many of "must see" areas of interest in the city, by walking and it is directly across from the major train station (you don't hear any train noise), which has lots and lots of o... more

This hotel had several pluses with the main one being its primo location. It is perfectly situated to be able to visit many of "must see" areas of interest in the city, by walking and it is directly across from the major train station (you don't hear any train noise), which has lots and lots of options for cheap meals on the go. The hotel itself was relatively clean, had very conscientious, hard working housekeeping staff and several (but not all) of the front desk staff. There was always sweet goodies to snack on, as well as a daily stock of fresh apples at the front desk. The hotel has a lot of cosmetic work that needs to be addressed. They have repaired tiling in the bathroom very amateurishly (and very noticeable), and there is a fair amount of water damage around the window areas. My most major complaint was that my room was FREEZING cold from the time I checked in to the time I checked out. I brought this to the attention of front desk staff and they sent a maintenance worker very promptly. He removed a ceiling tile and noticed no problems and that was the end of that. You could feel a very small amount of heat coming out of the vent, but for the majority of the time I spent in my room, I wore my jacket and/or scarf, used both comforters when I slept and turned on the heat lamp in the bathroom whenever I was in there. For the most part, I was very pleased with my stay. There was no signs of any "critters" hiding in the mattress seams or anywhere else, for which I was very grateful. Breakfast had a wide assortment of food for any taste, and the coffee bar was excellent. And again, you couldn't beat the location.

“Ideal city centre location ”

This hotel is clean, tidy and the staff are kind and well mannered.

This hotel is clean, tidy and the staff are kind and well mannered. It is undergoing a update which it is probably overdue, we stayed in one of the older rooms and whilst old fashioned and basic it had everything we needed, towels, water, tea and coffee making facilities, a decent shower, comfy bed and a safe. The location is fantastic for access to the city centre, train station and Christmas markets (which is why we’d been). The only two things we’d mention are we’d requested a twin and got a double (this could be been down to the holiday company not making the note on the booking) and the other was that we wished the bar had been open during the week (it opens at the weekends) to have a drink in the evening, I think they’re missing out on a quite a lot of extra income particularly at this time of year with people in and out of the markets, but in fairness it could be down to costs etc. Look if you’re looking for 5 star luxury this is not the hotel for you, pay more and you’ll find it elsewhere but if you’re looking for a city centre base and a clean comfy bed to sleep in and friendly staff for a really decent price then give this one a go.
