Hotel near Mülheim,Cologne
The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The most lively and exciting hotel in Deutz and surely one of the most exciting properties in the whole of Cologne. The Deutz tickles the brain with all things opposite and does so in a way that is never too heavy. It provides guests with little reminders that life is sometimes enriched and enlivened by taking an opposite view, opinion or side and that this can be refreshing.
"1. The hotel is clean and tidy.
2. Excellent service: From the concierge to the front desk and even housekeeping, all the staff were smiling and proactively greeting guests.
3. Spotless room: The bedding was clean and comfortable, and the mattress firmness was just right, ensuring a high-quality sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, the water pressure was strong, and hot water was available very quickly.
4. Well-equipped facilities: The gym equipment was well-maintained, and the swimming pool environment was beautiful. The free Wi-Fi provided by the hotel was very fast.
5. Pleasant extras: The welcome fruit and complimentary mini-bar drinks were a thoughtful touch. Upon check-out, we even received some local specialty snacks as a gift."

"⭐ Hotel Review: Merian Hotel, Cologne
I stayed at Merian Hotel in Cologne, and I must say — the location and price were unbeatable!
📍 Perfect Location
The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from Cologne Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom). It’s incredibly convenient if you’re traveling by train or planning to explore the old town on foot. You can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and major attractions in under 10 minutes.
💰 Excellent Value for Money
For such a prime central location, the room rate was very affordable. It’s rare to find a hotel this close to the station and city center at such a low price. The room was basic but clean, and included breakfast, which made it an even better deal.
🛏️ Room Tips
Rooms facing the street or train station might get a bit noisy, so I recommend asking for a quiet room facing the courtyard if you’re a light sleeper."

"Stay was ok but even for 3* I found various factors very upsetting;
#1. Stairwell main fire escape ALL doors were wedged open!! Is this legal?!
#2. Entering the room my first impression as a stained seemingly worn out carpet looking disgusting!!
#3. Using the toilet I found I could not close the door because the toilet IS IN THE WAY!!! *******!!!
#4. The safe for my keys, money and passport was BROKEN and impossible to use - no handle, no batteries. This gave me a worried feeling throughout my stay!!!
#5. THE TELEVISION DID NOT WORK - and it seems HASNT WORKED FOR WEEKS!! Outrageous and in breach of your contract.
#6. A small but simple point to correct - a missing bedside lamp shade.
#7. Finally just a point of service with the lady serving breakfast noisily clipclooping about in her shoes as well as being surly and noisy with serving and clearing breakfast
Please find relevant photos attached!
I now expect some compensation for the lack of a tv nor safe"

It could definitely do with some improvements, it's quite old and there are many stains on the carpets.
Overall a good experience, I would recommend"

"the room is clean, the owner is gentle and responsive. The only problem is there is no sound proof at all - considering this is a general flat problem, we can still bear with many random noises coming from outside or inside the building. But there are two permanent residents who share the flat with us cooking and talking to each other from 23pm to 1am, just outside our room. we felt weird to tell them to keep quiet as we are the 'temporary guest'. there must be some rules to be set up if the owner wants to mix long-term and short-term stays."

Great
GGuest UserVery satisfied! Clean and tidy, the bathroom is spacious and bright, and the stay was very comfortable. The front desk staff was also very polite. I really want to praise it. It's excellent value. Although the location is a little far from the city center, transportation is very convenient. There are supermarkets, Burger King, Lidl, etc. nearby, which is very convenient. It's also not far from the train station. Most importantly, the room is very good, with a sound system, and it's very clean. I forgot to take pictures of the room, but it basically matches the description. It has air conditioning and an adjustable shower. The only thing is that there's a big grasshopper picture on the wall, which is a bit strange. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied! I can't find any problems! I will choose this hotel again when I visit Cologne next time!

GGuest UserThe hotel location was great, and so close to the subway for easy transport into the city. When I made the reservation, it did not indicate that parking was an additional fee, just that there was parking. Not that parking was very much, but I don't recall seeing a fee posted on the booking website, and it was jusy unexpected. The room was sufficient- a tiny bit smaller than expected. And the room had a slight sour smell, not sure if it was mildew or just stuffy from the winter west weather, but we were only there one night, so we didn't fuss. The check-in staff spoke less english than expected, but was okay, as my Deutsch was just good enough we could meet in the middle. Breakfast was a good spread and the attendants were plenty.

GGuest UserWhen I was checking in, I was a little worried the staff would be unable to speak English. However the two receptionists who helped me were perfectly fluent and answered any questions I had. I did unfortunately have to pay a city tax on top of my room, but it wasn’t expensive and this is a common thing in most hotels in Europe.
The room itself was pretty decent and had plenty of space for my suitcase and to walk around. The en-suite was great and had good towels and hot shower. The bed was comfy with a good mattress and duvet wise, but the pillows were a bit limp and didn’t have a lot in them. I spoke to another member of staff who spoke little English, who said he’d look and bring one to my room, but this never happened. Whatever the case, still had a good sleep, would have better with extra head comfort.
As for breakfast, there was a great variety of choice from fry-up food (bacon, sausages, eggs) to continental pastries and drinks. I would say the only downside was there was not enough for fruit, as there was only a few apples and plates of sliced oranges. Would have been better if there was more to choose fruit wise, but everything else was great and was a good fuel up for the day in Cologne.
When checking out, they also allowed me to place my luggage and bags in their storage room with zero charge which is great when you’re exploring for the day and have a later departure time.
Overall, if you’re in Cologne for a day (like me) or two, this place is a great option and I would stay here again!

GGuest UserAlthough it is a little far from the station, there are many restaurants nearby, so it was convenient. There are only stairs on some floors, so it is a little difficult to move large luggage. However, the staff will help you move your luggage. I had a very comfortable stay.

GGuest UserI attended a concert at Die Kantine and that’s the reason why I stayed here. It’s pretty close to the concert area. There’s a wedding venue near by, but the sound isolation of the hotel is perfect that it doesn’t disturb at all. The room was so silent and clean, the bed was comfortable. I had a really good sleep! The reception stuff was so helpful and friendly. Next train station in 10 min by foot. I can recommend it!

AAnonymous UserNothing to complain about.
The air conditioning couldn't be adjusted, but it was very comfortable.
There was a fan and extra lights, and there were plenty of chairs and tables.
They're in collaboration with a brand called Früh beer, so there's a gift shop on the first floor, there are signs advertising the beer in the rooms, and there's a bar next door, so the location was great.

Rrickan2000A rather basic hotel, but worthy of its price. The hotel is suitable for people with a limited budget but who want to live here for a long time. In addition to ordinary hotel rooms, there are also public living rooms and public bathrooms (that is, there are also rooms without bathrooms). The overall feel is more like a student dormitory. The room was very cold when I arrived. I searched for a long time before I realized that the heating was not turned on. So my impression of this hotel is cold and bleak, and I guess I won't go there again in the future. But it would be unfair to say that this hotel has nothing good to offer.
