Top 5 Cologne Budget Hotels
Traveling to Cologne, but on a tight budget? Need an affordable place to stay but don’t want to sleep in a hostel with a crowd of backpackers? Don’t worry, Cologne offers some interesting and
comfortable hotels that fall into a budget range. Here is a roundup of the top 5.
Hotel de Luxe
Yes, despite the name of this Cologne hotel this is a firm budget option. It’s a modern affair with contemporary black and red furniture. Each room includes a snazzy flat-screen TV and the breakfast buffet is huge. Cheaper rooms have their toilet outside in the hallway but the toilet is not shared with any other rooms. And besides being affordable, another plus is the location of this hotel: It’ s right in the middle of the city in Cologne’s Old Town. www.cityhotel-deluxe.de
Hotel Cristall
Here is another Cologne budget hotel that delivers on price and location. Rooms are modern and stylish and the buffet breakfast is huge. But the atmosphere at this Cologne budget hotel is young and trendy and the hotel bar is a fun place to grab a drink and unwind. This budget hotel is also a 3 minute walk away from the Cologne Cathedral (more commonly called the Dom) and 5 minutes from the main train station. www.hotelcristall.de
Hotel Madison am Dom
This is a fantastic Cologne budget hotel if you like relaxed, simple accommodations. It is a family-run hotel, and it is easy to see that the owners have taken special care to make the rooms feel like a home away from home. Rooms are quite large and furbished with modest wood pieces. Many include huge windows that let in a lot of light and most rooms look out onto a charming city square. Breakfast is included and the Cologne Cathedral is only a block away. All rooms contain private bathrooms. www.hotelmadison.de
Hotel Weber
The relaxed Cologne budget hotel is located in the Zulpicher Quarter, a vibrant and lively part of town. The area is known for its variety of bars, cafes and restaurants, so this is an excellent choice if you want plenty of choices steps away from your bed. This is also a residential part of town so you will definitely rub elbows with the locals. Modest, simple rooms are decorated with tasteful pieces of art and offer a choice of rooms with private full bathrooms, with shower only (but toilet down the hall) or with both shower and toilet in the hall. The main train station and Cologne Cathedral is a 5 minute subway ride or a 15 minute walk away. www.hotelweber.de
Hotel Hayk
If you are keen to have a choice between a traditional hotel room and a small apartment, this is an excellent choice. The hotel offers standard guest rooms and mini apartment style spaces ranging in size from cozy studios to two bedrooms that can sleep up to four people. Apartment amenities range from having kitchenettes to full cooking facilities. The décor in all room types feels like a private home and many rooms offer views of the Rhine river. This Cologne budget hotel is situated in the old town next to the river and is only a 5 minute walk to the Cologne Cathedral. www.haykhotel.com
