Nice basic hotel in a relatively central area of town.
The rooms are very small, but the breakfast is great, and the hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Great location right next to Barbarossaplatz train station, and within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and laundromats.
Small but clean room, beds weren't ideal for a tall person. Staff were friendly, shops very close by and a great selection of bars and pubs close by too.
Nice place. Close to a convenient transportation spot. For Americans I would compare it to a Hampton Inn, just smaller like most things in a European city.

Good location in the city with a short walk to everything you may need.
Really small room with even smaller bathroom though.
Comfortable bed and okay breakfast buffét.
Check in efficient & friendly , room & bathroom clean , rather small. Air con ok , bed comfy could do with extra pillow . Breakfast great choices , lovely friendly staff
I’ve stayed in many an Ibis over the years and I’m always more bothered about location, this one is five stops from HBF/Dom and the immediate area has Lidl and Rewe supermarkets plus plenty of food and bar options around.
Room was fine, not the biggest and small bathroom but ok for my needs and at €50 a night, what you’d expect!
The staff were super nice, and genuinely helpful. The hotel manager was very friendly and personable. The bathrooms are really small and the breakfast buffet had plenty of choices. The location is really accessible and close to many places to eat and walk around. I will stay in this property all over again if I go back to Koeln.
Everything was great. The hotel is 10 minutes from the main station and the old town. Check-in was quick and easy. The staff was friendly. I can recommend it for a shorter wtay.
Area around the hotel is a bit downtrodden, but you likely aren't staying here for that!
A short walk to some better areas of town.
The hotel is perfectly acceptable as you might imagine if you have stayed in a business hotel before.
