URBAN LOFT Cologne

We had a very lovely 3 day stay at this hotel. It was close to the main train station and the cologne cathedral. All the Xmas markets were within walking distance which was a bonus. The room was clean and tidy, and temperature was good for this time of the year. Staff was friendly. The extra bonus was check out time was until 2pm, which was most suitable for people like us having an afternoon flight.

The staff friendly, breakfast was good. The position of the hotel was very convenient. particularly impressive the soundproofing of rooms. |The only reason 4 rather than 5 stars was teh room was functional rather than comfortable. I know minimalist design part of the concept but a comtortble chair n room would have ben appreciated. Still very good hotel

Last year and this year we stayed for the business purpose to Köln visit with our colleagues. Very central place, nice and cozy environment. Books and coffee are great at the lobby. So close to Domplatz and Rhein river. Great place for sightseeing 24 hours. Staff is so friendly and helpful. If have rental car, there is a car park underneath the hotel.

We had a wonderful time in the urban loft. They have a very nice working space, with coffee and everything that you will need. The service was excellent, they always have a smile for you and they are there to help you. If you are a guest they also have an underground parking space, so that your car will be safe. I will definitely come back here!

Great central location, just a short walk from Cologne Cathedral and the metro, bus, and train stations. My wife and I found the room quite small—even for just the two of us—so it was tight traveling with our 3-year-old toddler. The heating was not very efficient, staying around 20°C, which felt a bit cold. On the plus side, the staff were exceptional—extremely helpful whenever needed. Free morning coffee was a nice touch. One drawback: there was no way to heat water in the room for our toddler, so we had to go to reception each time.

Fantastic staff (particularly the fella with the cap!). Great vibe inside the central areas, rooms and outside seating. Very clean, tidy and trendy. Room was a good size with a really comfy bed. Despite overlooking the train track there was no sound at all which was excellent. And throughout the hotel it was quiet and chilled. Bit of a strange set up with teas and coffee; it’s only available between 11:30pm-11am with none in the room (I’m clearly showing what country I’m from 😂) but the staff were very accommodating in sorting me out, outside the free tea/coffee time when I asked. Didn’t have breakfast as I prefer to explore but what I saw in the morning looked fresh and delicious. Cold filtered water always on tap. The street it is on is a little dirty but I saw quickly this is quite common throughout Cologne, a little rough around the edges with a big mixture of people. It is only a few minutes walk to the Cathedral. I will 100% stay here again.

We were looking for a reasonably priced hotel in a good location that could server as a base for a city-break. This hotel definitely met these requirements.||The rooms and the general hotel areas were clean. It has an interesting "personality" in the way that it was a mixture of bare walls, and fully modern. The downstairs foyers area which was also used for breakfast and the bar, was clean and had numerous sitting areas. The weather was inclement, therefore we didn't use of any of the patio areas.||The areas for improvement?||Room air conditioning - it didn't work! This meant to cool the room, you need to open the windows, which makes it very noisy if you are on the train line side.||Coffee - definitely needs a blend with a touch more arabica!||Breakfast - this was good, but you only get the discounted rate if you book breakfast at the time of booking. However, that assumes the entire party eats breakfast. Which wasn't true for us. Having the option to specify the number of breakfasts at booking time would have been useful.||Things that were excellent||Friendly staff! Also when we emailed before the trip we got a prompt response.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Ideally located, can get everywhere by foot from here. Priced reasonably. Rooms are lovely. Staff are great. Really don't have a single bad thing to say!
