Part of the Accor chain, the mid-range Aparthotel Adagio Koln City is a modern apartment hotel. Designed with flair and efficiency, its 115 compact apartments include Studios or One-Bedroom units, and come with well-equipped kitchenettes.

The hotel is a 10- to 15-minute walk to most major attractions, including the Cologne Cathedral. Those looking for more on-site amenities could consider the Hilton Cologne. While it does not offer apartments, it has a restaurant, hip bar, and larger fitness center -- though rates are higher.

The NH Koln Altstadt is an upper-middle-range property, well-placed near Cologne's Old Town. This newly developing business district isn't the most exciting, but riverfront strolls to the center are scenic, and nearby public transport is solid. The 204 rooms are contemporary, albeit lackluster, and ergonomic work spaces here reflect the consistent corporate guest presence. Food and drink at the bistro restaurant receives positive reviews, and a pretty courtyard terrace is a nice touch for a city hotel. Wellness amenities are decent, and dedicated meeting spaces have natural daylight. TRYP by Wyndham Koeln City Centre is simpler, but more central.

With a location that’s near the main train station and several attractions, the four-pearl Cologne Marriott Hotel is a great option for those looking to explore the city on foot. It’s popular with business travelers and hosts many conferences in its 16 meeting rooms, which sometimes makes for a bustling atmosphere in the on-site restaurant, bar, and fitness center. The 365 contemporary-style rooms and suites are spacious and have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, though in-room Wi-Fi incurs an extra fee (free for Marriott Rewards members). The surrounding neighborhood might feel a bit sketchy for some; as an alternative, the NH Koeln City is a comparable option located right next to the Rhine.
