Καταλύματα A&O σε Κολωνία

As a solo female traveler, I chose a place with good access from the station! The staff were kind, and the breakfast bread was delicious. They also have a storage room, so my luggage was kept safe. It's about a 3-minute walk from the World Heritage church! I stayed for two nights and went there every day because it was so close. I had heard about the train situation in Germany beforehand, but the delays were significant, so I was really glad I didn't choose a place far from the airport or station that relied on train travel. Thanks to that, I kept my train usage to a minimum.

There are two ways to get back to the hotel. One way is to go from the train station, detour to the subway station, and then come up. This route is better as you avoid the sun and it's easier to push luggage. The other way is to exit the train station, walk past the Cologne Cathedral, cross the road, and reach the hotel. This takes about 7-8 minutes with luggage, so it's a bit further. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, but the staff were very friendly and helped me carry my luggage upstairs, which I really appreciated. They also offer free coffee and water.

lovely lobby with charging amenities and places to rest and study, the staff was also very nice helped fix a coffee machine when it was broken and refunded my coffee. also very near to metro station (see pics) definitely recommended for solo travelers.
