Hyatt Regency Cologne

( 5 stars , Cologne , Germany )

Top class hotel. There is a department store called Saturn in the center of town. On the third floor is an excellent self service resturant. Three of us ate for around 25 euros, including drinks & dessert. Lots of good coffe / bakery shops.

Hotel is definately 5 star although we had a hic-cup at reception with a mix up with our booking - very close to railway station and a very busy bridge - trains all night - very noisy if you like the window open. Air con was not very efficient. Overall a very nice hotel.

Most scenic hotel Aside from being extremely comfortable, the scenery was relaxing.

Our attempts at upgrading to the 'club floor' (free hors d'oeuvres and beverages come to mind) were miserably unsuccessful. Since we are Hyatt Gold Card members, we are always upgraded at Hyatt locations, but apparently our "Gold" status was mediocre in light of the elite "Diamond" status required to use this particular Hyatt's superior club facilities. Oh well, my husbands birthday plea's didn't work on the unwavering Deutschlanders either. Our room (534) is very spacious and has all of the amenities I would expect to find in a Hyatt. The bathroom features a good sized shower, a bathtub, and the lighting is pretty good too. The counter space could use some widening, but there are little glass shelves beside the sink area that make for good supplementation if needed.. always needed in my case. The room itself is attempting a 'modern' design, but the block patterns of muted grays, blacks and whites make for a somewhat depressing ambiance of institutionalization. This concentration camp chic wasn't setting well with me, but thankfully the view makes up for the dreary, colorless interior. Across the Rhine you get a panoramic observance of the city featuring Cologne's Roman Catholic Church (Dom Cathedral) and Hohenzollern "Lover's" Bridge. The bed is comfortable and the complimentary water bottles always make my day! I was however unlucky enough to wake up with a big red bug bite on my arm, but thats always a common occurrence for me.. The repetitious blare of the only TV channels in english (BBC and CNN) could drive one to the point of insanity, so if you have some spare time, visit the gym. The town center is just a 10 minute walk across Hohenzollern bridge, so you'll most likely find yourself exploring the historic aspects of the city or mingling with a Bavarian or two eager to practice their english. The restaurant in the Hyatt has a beautiful view of the city and river, but the menu is overpriced with only one vegetarian selection. If you're in town with lots of bags/samples for a trade show at Köln-Messe, you would be better off taking a taxi. If you want to be within close walking range of the convention center, I would look into staying at the Radisson. I have no experience with it, but the location is considerably more convenient.

Excellent service, very warm and welcoming staff! Room quality however is average with old style half window not floor to ceiling. Riverview room has a nice view of the train bridge and Cathedral but from a far distance, not impressive at all. The real downside is its "across the river" location. One has to walk up on the train bridge to get to the old town and Cathedral. It's much better to stay in the old town where all the fun places to go are located.

Outstanding location right on the river..rooms are large...Regency club is very nice with a great view of the river and the church.. not much entertainment but overall a preety nice place...

One of the absolute top locations in Cologne and probably along all Rhine towns. Facing the Cathedral and railway bridge and hence 5 minutes walking from centre, and still feeling in a space of its own. This feeling is enhanced by...
