Sleep in Cologne

Cologne is a leading German city of trade, commerce, and tourism. Cologne hotels are spread out across the city and found in almost every neighborhood. Hotels in Cologne are affordable by European standards, and generally offer a high standard of service and cleanliness.

Deciding where to stay in Cologne is first a function of what neighborhood you want to be in. The downtown area has more than 50 hotels, and several dozen are within a few blocks of the main train station. More are along the river front. More Cologne accommodations are in key business and tourist areas of the city, and there are plenty of Cologne lodging options by the airport as well -- in fact, some of the airport hotels can easily be reached on foot from the arrivals terminal.
Cologne hotel deals are easiest to find during the weekend, when business travelers are less numerous, and also during the fall, winter, and spring, when there are fewer visitors. Expect prices to rise mid-week, during festivals and holidays, and in the summer, when the city fills with tourists from around the world.
Lodging in Cologne also includes hostels, which are particularly useful for young backpackers, and apart-hotels, which are suited toward longer stays.
