The New Yorker Hotel Köln-Messe

We stayed in the apartments next door to the hotel which was a one bed with sofa bed and was very comfortable. Location was great for access to the City Centre. We did not use public transport, however, there is a bus stops less than a minute walk from the hotel which brings you to the City Centre and the buses runs frequently. We had a hire car so If you are driving then you can get to the City Centre (Lanxess Arena) in around 10 minutes. I am a smoker so the apartment with the balcony was great which allowed smoking on the balcony area. Local shops (Lidl) was around 2 minute drive away and parking outside the hotel is FREE of charge and on first come first served basis. If this parking is full then there is plenty of FREE parking nearby which is less than a minute walk. The staff here are extremely polite, helpful and welcoming. Overall, a really pleasant stay. Thank you to all the staff at The New Yorker Hotel, you all deserve a pay rise ;)

The only criticism I can make is that the hotel could have provided a toaster in the room and larger coffee cups/mugs and glasses etc. Not enough cutlery/plates etc. Very basic and could be improved with very little costs etc.

Location was handy for us (as it was a 20-min walk from Koelnmesse) but a bit out of the way more generally. The hotel was a real hidden gem though, beautifully put together and really well thought out; thoughtful, pleasant staff too.

Honestly, I loved most of it but the breakfast could have been a little more varied and adventurous. (Which would have better suited the hotel's approach elsewhere.)

The room was nice, spacious and quiet. Location was good to attend a festival in Tanzbrunnen. The Parking lot of the hotel was full when we arrived but it was easy to find a spot on the street nearby. The staff was nice and friendly.

The mattresses and pillows weren't very comfortable and the room in general was very essential. Breakfast was fine but not really worth the 18 euros per person. The location is a bit isolated, not much around.

receptionist very nice. room and bathroom very clear and quiet.

hallway is dark, the hallway door close from one side to another side. we couldn’t find which door is the one to our room. our room has bad smell in the beginning. we have to open the window
