I only had a one-night stay at this Leonardo Hotel this time, but I had stayed at this hotel before.
It was a quick and easy check-in and the room was very comfortable and spacious; and so was the bathroom. I did not take breakfast since I had a very early flight out of CGN.
Next time I have will have to fly out early, I will definitely consider this hotel again.

Hotel is 10min walk from terminal 2 of the airport which is very convenient, but thats about it. Very rude staff at the front desk that barely spoke english, had long issues finding my reservation, internet didnt work (takes a long time to even load a website, forget about making calls or doing something that requires faster connection).

Tried to check in at 8:30am, which must be very common given the proximity to the airport. was expecting a reasonable early checkin fee, but they charged me another full night, so I basically paid for the room from 3PM the previous day despite it being available. I understand this is a service the hotel offers and I can decline, I would just expect something more reasonable for a hotel that is right next to an airport and will have many similar customers.

This is a perfectly fine hotel for a stay. There’s a shuttle that takes you to the airport. It’s a 15-minute walk, but uphill from the hotel. The rooms are pretty clean, but lack a few things you’d expect (like a spoon for example). I’d stay there again because it was adequate.

Close to airport was the reason for selecting this property. However, when I called for directions to walk to the property, they told me they’d send a shuttle and to wait at the terminal. We had to call 3 times as the shuttle took so long to arrive, nearly 40 minutes. With walking directions, we could have been there in about 5 minutes. We had a very short stay and I asked for a wake up call which we never received. The hotel also charged me to stay when we checked out despite having previously paid with Expedia. I have to call Expedia to remedy the double payment….showed hotel our paid reservation on Expedia and they still required me to pay again.

Conveniently located near the CGN (Köln/Bonn) airport, the hotel provides for a pleasant overnight stay before an early morning departure on a long trip. The rooms are spacious, and so are the bathrooms. A coffeemaker is in the room. There is a restaurant and a Beer Garden that also serves food, beer, and wine. The reception personnel is very friendly and helpful and the shuttle bus for the short ride to the airport runs every 15 minutes after 05:00h.

The hotel was perfect for us. We were flying out early the next morning and wanted someplace close to the airport. The hotel is very close to the airport--it took about five minutes to get there from the airport and maybe two minutes to get to the airport from the hotel (since the route is more direct). The shuttle was easy to call, and once we figured out where the pickup location was (by the long-distance buses, if in Terminal 2), it was very easy. The reception was very friendly when we checked in and out. We also ordered room service (pizza), and the food was good and fast, and we had friendly encounters when ordering. The hotel isn't very modern, but our room was clean, and I would stay here again.

Very Standard Airport Hotel

Arrived very late at the airport and had issues finding the stop of the hotel shuttle as it was not signposted at the airport and not mentioned on the hotel website. On arrival one have to call the hotel (bearing in mind costs when coming from abroad) and then wait for the shuttle. (I have stayed in a lot of airport hotels so maybe the hotel can have a WhatsApp number one can text?) In my case I had to call twice and after 20min the shuttle came to pick me and some other guests up. The drive to the hotel was not even 5min, so although the chaotic search for the shuttle, don't take a taxi which will cost 6 Euro! On arrival at the hotel, quick checkin and helpful reception staff. The room was spacious although a bit outworn. Unfortunately I got two double beds instead of just one. Bed was confortable and the bathroom was ok! Everything you need for a one night stay. I didn't book breakfast the next morning so I cannot leave a review for it. If you are looking for a good, standard hotel close to the airport, this is yours.

Unreliable airport shuttle especially at night

Arrived at the airport late after a long day of travel. Stood at the terminal for airport shuttle pick-up which we waited for over 25 minutes with no signs of pick-up we decided to walk to the hotel. The hotels phones were not working to figure out what was going on. The staff on arrival was accusatory and unapologetic for this inconvenience. We did the park and fly for our trip but I would advise to skip the hotel and just go to an airport parking lot. The airport shuttle seems to be slow if not unreliable at night since we weren't the only guests that needed to walk back from the airport.

The restaurant menu was, my fault I accept, not able to offer me an enjoyable meal, I like my food dry, plain or to some quite bland, however the breakfast was better than fine.
