My stay at Maritim Hotel Koeln had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the location was fantastic, right in the heart of Cologne, which made exploring the city so convenient. However, I encountered some issues with the room's condition, particularly the outdated decor and faint musty smell. Overall, it felt like the experience didn't quite meet my expectations, though I'm aware of planned renovations.

I had a mixed experience at Maritim Hotel Koeln. The location is fantastic, being so close to the cathedral and shopping areas, which made my sightseeing really easy. While the breakfast was great with a huge variety, the room cleanliness was disappointing; I found the service lacking during my stay. Overall, it was a decent stay, but the room upkeep could certainly be better.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay at Maritim Hotel Koln. The location was absolutely prime, right by the Rhine and close to all the major attractions, which made sightseeing a breeze. However, I found the rooms to be pretty dated, although they were clean and spacious. The breakfast was impressive, with plenty of options to choose from, but I did experience some inconsistency in the quality of the food.

You really can't beat the location-right in the center near the train station and a stone's throw from the Cathedral. This made it super easy to explore the city.

Dining

Breakfast had a great selection, with vegan options available too. However, some items seemed to lack quality, like the coffee and a boiled egg I tried.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel has decent amenities, including a fitness center and a pool, but both felt a bit outdated. The pool particularly needed attention regarding cleanliness.
