“Christmas Market Visit”

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting the Christmas markets. We booked as a package holiday so did not get a choice of hotel. The reviews on here are all true. It’s very much out of the way, 10/15 minute walk to the nearest tram station (marsdorf) and then on that for about 20 minutes until you reach the centre. Tram wise, you get the 7 from Heumarkt going to Frechen, this is the one that takes you to Marsdorf. Going into town from Marsdorf, it’s the 7 to Zundorf. There is no ticket machine at Marsdorf but tickets can be purchased while on the tram. We just got the 1b option which was 2.80 euro for a single (lasts 90 minutes). The hotel is good for the price. Rooms are basic but have everything you need. They were also extremely clean so hats off to the cleaning team! Very good hotel and worth the money *if you have a car*. It is surrounded by supermarkets so always good to get bottles of water. Extremely quiet even though it is next to a very busy highway. Just a shame about the location for us personally as we did not hire a car. Another thing to mention - getting to the airport. We had a morning flight so had to be at the airport by 5am, our only option really was a taxi. We were quoted 60 Euro for a 20 minute journey. Extortionate if you ask me. But Once again, wouldn’t be an issue if you had a car. Staff were always friendly and spoke excellent English. Had a pleasant stay but would rather pay more to be more central next time!

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights, our main purpose for visiting cologne was the Phantasialand. The hotel itself was standard, a bit out of the way from centre but can be reach by train for about 30min plus 10min walk to the station. Room was small but clean, nice shower, some fast foods around. There was a big supermarket right opposite, and on Sunday when the supermarket closed, there was a second hand market at the supermarket car park, and it was quite fun to keep my 7 years old occupied. Getting to Phantasialand was complicated. It was 15min drive away, however there was not public transport to get there, and the train would take 2hours. So we decided to take taxi there. So the night before the reception lady rung for the taxi firm to check the price for me, and I was told around 33 Euro. On the day when we ordered the taxi, I asked the receptionist to double check the price, and was told 35 Euro. So taxi ordered, and got us to Phantasialand, the driver asked me 63 Euro, it was a 15min drive. So I rung the hotel, I was told 35 was not a fix rate, the price might be slightly different. From my point of view I wouldn’t call 63 is slightly different from 35. I understand it was not the hotel’s fault and they was told a price for 35, but it was really annoyed, and we didn’t expected this kind of taxi price issue happen in Germany. So if you drive and want a quiet night sleep away from the centre, this hotel is not a bad choice. Otherwise I wouldn’t recommend especially with young child.
