A very modern hotel near to exhibition halls and not too far from old town. Large atrium serving as bar and reception gives it a nice feeling. Bedrooms have what you expect for this brand Photos of City around adding to local atmospher Good breakfast and limited but nice evening meal options One side us on busy road with fly over

Dates stayed: dec 16 -18 2023 (booked it for the Christmas Market Experience) My husband and I booked our stay through raddison website as reward members ahead of time before getting to this hotel. Upon arrival the front desk Rep at that time told us that we had paid only 90% of our stay, maybe it’s a Raddison thing because as avid travelers in Europe and around the world coming from the USA never heard of that before. We got that sorted and went to our room. If check in is at 3pm as of 7:20 pm our arrival time our room was not ready,We went back to front desk to ask why our room is not ready since we booked our stay days prior to our arrival,The front desk rep LITERALLY threw our room key at my wife and stated “by the time we walk back to our room it will be ready so we can go now”. We were so livid that we asked to speak to the manager on duty, she apologized the best she could and tried to do a damage control. During such a busy season all other decent hotels were fully booked. This was the rudest and by far the worst customer service experience we have ever had as a travelers. Also be aware, this is also very far from central station.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This feedback is enormously important for us to review our own processes and to be able to offer our guests an even better experience. I am very sorry to hear that your stay with us did not meet your expectations. I will be happy to address your points below. When booking a prepaid rate, we actually only charge 90% of the total price. This is not so much a Radisson thing as a German thing. By law, hotels are only allowed to charge 90% of the room rate in case of cancellation or no-show. For this reason, the remaining 10% is only paid on site. I am very sorry that you were allocated a dirty room. Of course, this should not be the case, but it has nothing to do with how far in advance you booked. I suspect that in your case it was a system error where the room was shown as ready when it was not. Nonetheless, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I am also very sorry that you did not feel taken seriously by our colleagues at reception. I will of course investigate with my team how this misunderstanding could have occurred in the handling of your problem. However, I would like to assure you that your satisfaction is the top priority for all our colleagues. Despite everything, I hope to see you again soon and I am sure that we will be able to convince you of our quality again. With best regards Franziska from the Radisson Blu Team Cologne

Great hotel to choose when on business trip attending one of the fairs in Cologne. Close to the airport. Spacious modern rooms, great breakfast, helpfull staff, pity that I was here just for one night only. Would be worth to stay longer. Would come again.

Easily the worst large chain hotel I’ve ever stayed in. There appears to be no functioning management, the staff are mean, angry, and very very u happy, and absolutely despise interacting with the guests, whuch is a problem when it seems nothing is actually working in the hotel, from check in to room service to breakfast it is a complete disaster. Do not stay here, it is a criminal setup designed to steal money, rather than a hotel

We choose Koln for the Christmas markets, iceskating, shopping. We choose Radisson because of earlier experiences with the company. We want a happy family experience but we got a tired and bored staff. Wait to long for a check-in with three little kids after a 4 hour drive.

Stayed here for two nights with my friend for a city break for unity day. The hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the cathedral. The area seemed safe to walk. The hotel was lovely, the staff were incredibly helpful. The room was really clean and well presented. Beds were super comfortable. Loved the rainfall shower. Breakfasts were perfect. I have only good things to say about our stay and would definitely stay here again. The only thing that may put some people off is the location.

Check-in process was quick and easy, although it's self serve the staff were on-hand to support throughout the process. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean. Everything you would expect is available in the room. Lobby/Bar/Breakfast all very nice, outstanding selection of foods at breakfast. Coffee machine at breakfast is limited, for example no options for a Cappuccino, Flat White, Latte. Room service is available, 24/7 menu is very limited. Ended up going to Shell petrol station opposite for a decent sandwich. Staff at front desk and bar all very helpful and friendly.
