We stayed in this hotel several times when visiting the Christmas market in Cologne. Very nice, clean, very friendly and helpful personnel and nice pool/sauna! Some rooms/bathrooms are a bit small but for the rest nothing to complain about. More

The hotel was like staying in a Travelodge or Premier Inn in the UK. Functional and clean. We didnt use the pool, and I can only assume thats where the 4 stars comes from. I couldnt see any other reason why this would be classed as a 4 star hotel. We walked down from the train station along the river... More

I stayed at Hotel Lyskirchen for 3 nights in April 2012 and although I couldn't find fault with the room or facilities, the front desk staff seemed surly and truly unhappy to be working at this hotel! The blonde girl on reception when I arrived at the hotel was downright rude to me upon check in and when I questioned... More

Staff at reception were very helpful and spoke English which was useful considering our limited German skills. It's minutes walk from Heumarkt which we found to be the market with the nicest atmosphere (and some... More

Stayed here on business for two nights during February. Nice clean hotel, good rooms and well located only a 10-15 min walk from the Dom, the breakfast was nice but VERY expensive. Do yourself a favour and eat elsewhere. The bar and lounge area was small and had zero atmosphere so, again drink elsewhere! The staff were very great --... More
