“July family city break to cologne”
This hotel was very well located to access public transport to see all the top sights. We booked through British Airways and sent an email to hotel to try and help us with an interconnecting room for the 2 rooms we booked. However, this was not possible. Probably due to booking the break only 12 da… more

“Welcoming family stay, large room great facilities.”
We had a fantastic family stay at the Novotel Cologne Central. From the moment we arrived, Clemens made us feel incredibly welcome. He was very accommodating and took the time to guide us on where to visit, even marking recommendations on a map for us. The hotel is in a great location, and our roo… more

“Very much a family hotel”
There's much to like about this hotel. The facilities are very good. My room was spacious and well equipped. WiFi was reliable and the shower/bathroom great. Aircon was also reliable. It is on the 133 bus route from Cologne Hauptbahnhof - 4 stops, taking 10-15 minutes, or you could walk in about 30… more

“need to improve”
I stayed at this hotel for several days during the trade fair period. The location and general organization were acceptable; however, there are several areas that require improvement, especially considering the four-star standard and the high room rates. The rooms would benefit from refurbishment … more

“Standard stuff, no extras”
Standard Novotel package, nice comfortable room. But it was not cheap and very disappointed to find no extras, not even bottles of water in the room - had to buy from a machine. (Previous hotel in Munich, same group, had a free mini bar - nice). The hotel is also a taxi ride from the city and there… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
