"The property is located in a town centre which gave an outside the busy city look. The rooms are spacious and had all the amenities inside and outside except parking which is not expected in the busy street of town centre. The staff was very cooperative and responded to all communication (verbal or online) immediately. The only reason for me giving 4* on comfort as it would be complete if there are more chairs provided in the apartment. The property is located next to high street with all shops...

"This is a gem of a hostel, you can't go wrong. We had a 6 bed room to ourselves and, while initially looking a little on the cramped side, it was no bother at all as we mainly spent our time out and about. Spotlessly clean, great en suite shower, firm mattresses (which I thought were great, but guess that's down to personal preference!) The hostel is a 25 min walk from the centre of Cologne (Dom & railway station etc) and located a few mins walk from the buzzing Belgian Quarter, but still...

How can I get cheap hotels in Cologne?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Cologne

  1. If you're looking to travel to Cologne on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $71. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $129. Staying a short amount of time in Cologne is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Cologne, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Cologne, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Cologne, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Kommerzhotel Köln

Kommerzhotel Köln

5/5 Excellent
Not your average ‘basic’ hotel
"Stayed for three nights visiting Drupa. Room is very small but superbly laid out making it feel better than a much larger room. Plenty of power, lighting choices and everything sparkled. Wifi not great, lots of street noise all day and all night. Bring ear plugs. Buffet super continental with a view of station and cathedral. Doesn’t get any better. Staff lovely and helpful. Genuinely enjoyed my stay - and for the price worth every penny. Thank you!"
