Hotel Freiheit

Enjoyed my one night stay, the staff are very accommodating and helpful, ideal position for the Train station and the exhibition halls, and a short pleasant walk over the Rhine bridge into the old town.

great location just over the bridge from the old town and on tram and near the Deutz station that every train into Cologne stops. As it was Easter there was a huge fair directly in front of the hotel.

I stayed for 6 nights and was very happy with the welcome and friendliness of the staff. Breakfast was great with a really good selection of fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, ham, cheese, bread and pastries. The heating was a bit off on the first night but after I mentioned it to the front desk next morning it was solved when I returned. There is no 24hr desk so if you returned late (and on one occasion went out late) the front door was locked. After a call to the manager, he would be down in 1 minute to let you in (or out).
