GGuest UserThe hotel location was great, and so close to the subway for easy transport into the city. When I made the reservation, it did not indicate that parking was an additional fee, just that there was parking. Not that parking was very much, but I don't recall seeing a fee posted on the booking website, and it was jusy unexpected. The room was sufficient- a tiny bit smaller than expected. And the room had a slight sour smell, not sure if it was mildew or just stuffy from the winter west weather, but we were only there one night, so we didn't fuss. The check-in staff spoke less english than expected, but was okay, as my Deutsch was just good enough we could meet in the middle. Breakfast was a good spread and the attendants were plenty.

WWangxiaozhushizhenfengleThis hotel boasts an unbeatable location right next to Cologne Central Station, making it incredibly convenient for catching trains or exploring the city's attractions. You can walk to the main station and the cathedral in just a few minutes. The room layout is simple and practical, featuring a single bed, TV, and a small table and chairs – everything you need. It's clean and tidy, though the decor is quite minimalist and plain, without any extra frills. The service was standard; check-in was reasonably efficient, with no particular warmth but also no slip-ups. At around 650 RMB, the price is about what you'd expect for a central Cologne location. It's a good choice for travelers who prioritize convenience and don't require luxurious accommodations.

GGuest UserWhen I was checking in, I was a little worried the staff would be unable to speak English. However the two receptionists who helped me were perfectly fluent and answered any questions I had. I did unfortunately have to pay a city tax on top of my room, but it wasn’t expensive and this is a common thing in most hotels in Europe.
The room itself was pretty decent and had plenty of space for my suitcase and to walk around. The en-suite was great and had good towels and hot shower. The bed was comfy with a good mattress and duvet wise, but the pillows were a bit limp and didn’t have a lot in them. I spoke to another member of staff who spoke little English, who said he’d look and bring one to my room, but this never happened. Whatever the case, still had a good sleep, would have better with extra head comfort.
As for breakfast, there was a great variety of choice from fry-up food (bacon, sausages, eggs) to continental pastries and drinks. I would say the only downside was there was not enough for fruit, as there was only a few apples and plates of sliced oranges. Would have been better if there was more to choose fruit wise, but everything else was great and was a good fuel up for the day in Cologne.
When checking out, they also allowed me to place my luggage and bags in their storage room with zero charge which is great when you’re exploring for the day and have a later departure time.
Overall, if you’re in Cologne for a day (like me) or two, this place is a great option and I would stay here again!

GGuest UserHaving Turkish staff at the hotel was no problem for me at all. The room attendants were very kind and polite. The hotel breakfast was good. The only downside was that the toilet was outside the room, but since it was private, I had no issues whatsoever. The hotel's location was excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Cologne Central Station. In short, I was very satisfied and will definitely come back again.

GGuest UserGreat service and the room was spotless. The breakfast area had a lovely ambiance. The location is super convenient for transportation and there are plenty of dining options nearby. It's really close to the train station, which is perfect for train travel! It's a peaceful spot despite being in a lively area. Highly recommend!

ZZYen TanI would say this is most probably the cheapest stay in town with great breakfast.

7.4/10
SStan-mobileMy stay at Essential by Dorint Köln-Junkersdorf was quite good overall. Here's a brief summary for your reference:
Room Environment: The room was spacious and bright with excellent natural light, and clean and tidy. The bed was a comfortable firmness, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, which was convenient.
Dining Experience: The breakfast had a variety of choices, Western-style, including stir-fried vegetables and hot dishes!
Service Attitude: The front desk staff were friendly and polite, and the check-in/check-out process was quick!
Cons: We only checked in and checked in to park and unload our luggage, and the front desk said the parking lot downstairs was outsourced, and we were charged 7 euros for parking for over an hour!!!!! Later, we noticed that parking on the nearby street was free.
Free water was only provided for check-in guests, but the amount was reduced~~~ It used to be a large bottle.

MMM123Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with good value for money. Minor check-in hiccup with an unclean room, but staff handled it quickly and professionally. Good value overall—practical, reliable, and convenient for short stays.
6.7/10
GGuest UserEven though a little bit outside the centre, the location is still at walking distance (25 minutes ) to the Dom. The hotel is a little dated but every thing is clean and in good working order. And the breakfast is great and plentiful. Very good value.
