URBAN LOFT Cologne

What a super hotel!! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel really welcome by the amazing staff who were so friendly and helpful. Trendy decor and nice vibe. Our room was spotless, spacious and soooo quiet - the soundproofing was brilliant . Breakfast was great, plenty of choice including yogurt, pastries, meat, cheese and eggs. Free coffee and tea from 11pm-11am was a real bonus. The hotel is well situated- a short walk from the station and cathedral. Lots of bars/eateries close by. |Highly recommended- thanks Urban Loft.

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.

Stylish but Practicality Falls Short The Urban Loft Hotel exudes a hip, youthful vibe with its industrial design—think exposed concrete and a “practical over pretty” aesthetic. While the hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and approachable (with a casual, informal tone), it’s not without its quirks. Room size is a major drawback: the rooms are extremely compact, making it nearly impossible to work comfortably at the desk. If you’re traveling with a large suitcase—or multiple bags—be prepared to navigate around them, as storage space is very limited. On the plus side, the rooms are surprisingly quiet when the windows are closed, though noisy neighbors slamming doors can disrupt the peace. A few small but notable misses: no kettle in the room for tea or coffee, which is a shame for those who like to unwind with a hot drink (the idea is that you get hot drinks at the bar). The breakfast, however, is adequate and includes vegan options, which is a plus. For business travelers, this hotel is not ideal—the lack of workspace and limited amenities make it better suited for short stays or leisure travelers who prioritize style over functionality. If you’re looking for a trendy, no-frills base in Cologne and don’t plan to spend much time in your room, it’s a solid choice. But if you need space, comfort, or a productive work environment, you might want to look elsewhere.

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 an amazing stay here, Rooms and overall property is very clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hardly 5 mins walk from köln railway station. Also, amazing co-working space is available downstairs.

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!

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.
