For me: nothing actually.

An awesome hotel in a very good location! You can just walk into the center of town. Very comfortable room and great facilities. Almost feels like a resort kind of style where you can really relax.

The beds were extremely comfortable and the location couldn’t be better, with plenty of great restaurants and bars just steps away. Patrick in the bar was a highlight – so friendly and easy to chat to. The shower was excellent – hot with great pressure. Freisenplatz station is only a 2-minute walk, which made getting around very easy. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Would happily stay here again.

Room and shower temperature control was unnecessarily difficult.

Breakfast was outstanding!

Breakfast was amazing. Hotel staff very friendly and beds the most comfortable we have had in a long time. Great value for money and great location. Building site across road was noisy during the day but we were out so didn't bother us at all. Very quiet at night. Perfect stay.

Shower pressure could be better.

Beds were extremely comfortable, and the room was huge.

The Staff were friendly & helpful. The rooms were clean, very spacious & the beds were so comfortable! Breakfast was excellent, the choice range was just amazing! While our boys enjoyed the gym facilities, we relaxed in the sauna after a day of sightseeing. We simply loved the hotel and booked an extra night. Definitely recommend this hotel!

The hotel location is close to excellent transport links in Cologne. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was fantastic. There was free water provided at reception after check out. Staff were extremely helpful, Much appreciated. :)

The garage, though, was a bit tight, getting in and out took some Mario Kart-level skills. 🚗💨 It would be helpful if guests were also given a heads-up about how to find the garage entrance ramp, I ended up parking in the public garage to check in, and then found out the hotel had it's garage was under the hotel. That said, a really good discount wouldn’t hurt for the thrill, right? 😄

Once again, Lindner Hotel came through and did not disappoint! 🥰 While the room I had this time was a bit smaller than the one I stayed in at the Düsseldorf branch, it still offered all the comfort and charm I’ve come to expect from Lindner. That king-size bed? A dream. So soft, so cozy, I could’ve stayed wrapped in those blankets forever! I absolutely love how each floors had their own unique themes, it’s such a thoughtful touch that makes exploring the hotel itself a little adventure. And oh, the rain shower! Now, I’ll admit the water pressure was epic, like a waterfall, unlike my experience I had in Düsseldorf, but it was still refreshing and relaxing at the Düsseldorf branch. I did miss the sky bar from the Düsseldorf location, but the bar at the Köln branch was still a great spot to unwind. Shoutout to Marcel, the bartender, super knowledgeable and knows how to craft a proper drink. 🍸🙌🏾 The staff were just fantastic, so friendly and helpful across the board. But a special thank you goes to Nadiem at the front desk. He went above and beyond! Incredibly polite, always helpful, and full of spot-on local tips for exploring Köln. Lindner, if you’re reading this, give this man a raise. He’s a true asset to your team! 🌟 In fact, thanks to Nadiem’s top-notch hospitality (and yes, that magical bed again), I’ve already started rebooking another weekend stay this weekend coming up. I can’t wait to return! I took a few photos during my stay, but confession time, I didn’t make it to breakfast. I was out living my best life into the early morning hours, and when I came back, there were still 30 minutes before breakfast opened. I thought, “Let me just rest a little…” Next thing I knew, I was waking up from what I can only describe as a cloud-riding coma. That bed is no joke. 😴☁️ The location of the hotel is perfectly central—walking distance to shopping, bars, clubs, restaurants, and major attractions. Super convenient for exploring the city on foot!

Comfortable beds, big rooms & a cute terrace where you can sit with a book & a drink. Breakfast was extensive & delicious. The location was great - lots of cafes, restaurants around & easy to walk to the tourist attractions from there.

Fantastic location, clean comfortable room, onsite parking and excellent breakfast!

Air condition was weak and could not cool the room.

Good hotel with good parking under the hotel. Breakfst was good, and the hotel was more centrally located than we thought first (just needed to cross the streeet and in the next block was a major shopping street). Good front desk staff that helped us when we needed to change room due to a broken air condition and contrsction work just outside the window,

Check in is slightly clunky.

Excellent location, the rooms are very comfortable and well presented. The breakfast was outstanding and far exceeded our expectations.

The refill of the breakfast could be faster ! And for the hot water in the shower you have to find the best temperature because is with buttons ! It takes long time ! At 41 degrees comes cold water but at 36 is warmer !

The hotel is great starting with arhitecture and then with location and comfort ! Big room with an amazing double bed and pillows and a big bathroom. Very clean, quiet ,good internet. Tasty breakfast but basic food. Very close with a great shopping area and nice restaurants. From the Koln airport you have to take train S 19 to Hansaplatz. Then you go down and take the metro U12 or U15 to Friesenplatz. You go out and in 50 m is the hotel ! It takes 25 minutes to reach the hotel from the airport !

The staff were amazing, friendly helpful and nothing was a problem.

The only thing that we found problematic was the sliding glassdoor to the bathroom. The door rattled in a noisy way when we opened it. If one of us used the bathroom during the night, the other would wake up because of the door's noise.

Lovely place to stay in Cologne. Spacious room, modern bathroom, excellent breakfast with allergy friendly options, and wonderful and professional staff, who really made an effort to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Good location close to UBahn in nice area. We also enjoyed the special themes and art etc. on the different floors of the hotel. We would be happy to stay here again.

The colonial style decor is not necessarily my thing, but that's just preference.

I loved the large comfy bed, decent sized room, and quiet atmosphere. The gym and spa were a nice bonus.

We arrived in Cologne at the beginning of the worst heat wave in city history (it hit 102F on our last day there). The hotel room was a respite of brilliant air-conditioning when we weren't running around the city looking at Romanesque churches (there are 12 in Cologne!!). The room was large and had plenty of space for us to unpack our things. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was sumptuous. The location was slightly removed from the hubbub of the cathedral area, which we really appreciated. The staff was fantastic. I made a request, and it was immediately tended to. We would definitely return here.
