The hotel is in an excellent position to get to the Cathedral and the markets. It’s situated on a very busy road full of pubs and clubs so if you land up with a room at the front, you will have to put up with a lot of noise until 4.00am or so.

The rooms are quite dated with poor lighting and no tea/coffee making facilities.

The bathrooms are small but well lit and recently updated.

The hotel was absolutely fine for our needs but just be aware that it is on a very busy street for bars so depending on which side you stay it can be noisier. We found the pillows to be very flat - one of us slept with 3 and the other used the spare duvet plus 1! We also had to keep the window open the whole time despite it being December because of how hot the room was and there was no aircon, so I would struggle to stay here at any other time of the year.

Renovierungsbedürftig

Das Zimmer war ausreichend für eine Person, es gab sogar ein kleines Sofa.
Allerdings war mein Zimmer ziemlich abgewohnt.
Die Tür zum Bad war \"ausgefranst\", in der Dusche war Schimmel, am Nachtschrank das Furnier abgeplatzt...
Ich hatte ein einziges Glas und das war zum Zähneputzen.
Ja, ich hätte alles an der Rezeption bekommen, ich will aber nicht wegen allem fragen müssen.
Das Hotel hat definitiv keine 4 Sterne verdient!

Ok

The location is good (near metro and Gloria) but there’s an awful smell in reception (toilets, maybe). This was really annoying for me as check-in took ages - 2 guys behind the desk taking ages to check-in the party ahead of me. Shower was a bit mad and no deadlock on the door, so not sure I’d go back.

Zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem ruhig.

Sauberere Zimmer und Flure, aber man merkt das alter der Zimmer und Bäder doch an (zB TV mind. 10 Jahre, Duschwanne, gerade für ältere ein Problem etc), aber ruhig gelegen.
Tiefgarage vorhanden und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.

Improvements urgently necessary

One of the two elevators (both from 1988) was out of order. Apparently since 3 months. Rooms felt damp. Strange smell in the foyer.

Cologne short break

Hotel very comfortable and renovations ongoing during stay.
Bathroom door was disintegrating with the damp and wouldn’t shut properly.
Some noise from the local bars - we were on the sixth floor and it didn’t bother us but would be different with small children.
Great location with a private car park and walking distance from the city centre.

I made a wrong booking and booked this hotel instead of anotherone with the same name, asked them for a refund but they refused and had to stay away from all my colleagues, they also charge 29 Euro per day for the parking whichbwas not considered as well. Very greedy

Praktischen Hotel mit super Frühstück

Hervorragend war das Frühstück und die inkludierte Minibar mit Bier Cola und Wasser.
Das Zimmer an sich ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und mit Teppich und braunen Holzmöbeln ausgestattet.

Das parken ist leider recht teuer aber für die Location absolut gerechtfertigt.
Die Einfahrt ist allerdings sehr eng.

Standort ist top und es gibt viele Restaurants in der Nähe.

Der Reinigungsservice leistetet währned meines Aufenthaltes leider keine zufriedenstellende Arbeit.

Bei Ankuft waren fremde Haare auf dem Boden im Bad was grundsätzlich passieren kann aber wenn man zwischen den Tagen das Zimmer reinigen lässt sollte es spätestens dann auch entfernt werden. Das war leider nicht der Fall.

Quaint Hotel with an Excellent Location

Mercure Hotel Köln Friesenstraße is a Hotel Located in the Heart of Cologne; Surrounded by Restaurants and Entertainment, staying here, you'll never be short of things to see or do. It's also incredibly easy to navigate to and from the hotel without any use of maps or guides because of its excellent location.

The staff here are welcoming and friendly, many of whom, speak excellent English so there is completely no hassle at all with any queries that you may have and they will go out of their way to make your experience perfect.

The rooms are quite spacious as well, and extremely clean. Every day all the sheets, quilts and towels are all changed by a cleaner. They also replace all drinking glasses, clean the windows and dust everywhere. There is even someone who comes to stock up the minibar daily (The minibar is also free, how cool is that?).

The room also comes with a flatscreen TV with over 100 channels (German channels though, so take that as you will.), Air-conditioning Unit and a Kettle. There is also a desk with a lamp, and the bathroom comes equip with a shower, quite a big bath and a hair dryer. My only grudge with the room is that it all looks quite old fashioned rather than modern, and the view we had wasn't that great, but that doesn't really bother me because the room was great otherwise.

There is a restaurant in the hotel but it is really expensive, so we never tried it ourselves.

Overall I had a brilliant stay and would definitely stay there again.

A bit 90's

I stayed at the hotel for one night and found it quite depressing. The decor was quite dated, the bed very soft and the view outside was not the best. The bathroom was really small and awkward to move in.

On a positive note the staff were friendly and accomodating by changing my initial room that was right next to the lift and had a brick wall view.

The room had all the equipment you would expect for a hotel this price but my general view is that the place just needs a bit of an uplift.

Hotel smells awful

The hotel is looking old and tired now. However, any experience in this hotel is overwhelmed by a strong smell like sewage through all public areas.

Breakfast is €24, and you get to eat it while breathing in this terrible smell.

I believe we should be partially refunded.

Awful.

Mediocre hotel, too far from the city

The hotel furnishing is dated, it needs renovation. The chair was dusty. We were given 4 paper cups (no glasses) for every night stay. The bathroom was not very clean either. It was a long walk to town every day. The only thing I liked was that the room was soundproof. If given a choice, I'd have chose another hotel closer to the scenic Cologne.

Great location

The hotel was great except for getting English tea so bring your own if you want a decent cup of tea.
The only bad thing I've got to say is that we went out at 11 in morning to the Dom markets 10-15 mins walk caught bus to all other markets which is really easy to get around. Got back to hotel at 6pm to find our bedroom door open and beds had been made .
Luckily none of our things Had been taken but because there are no safes in rooms we left money and passports etc in rooms so could of been worse.
Hotel staff seemed shocked when I told them but I got no feedback to say it had been addressed
Apart from that this hotel is great location next to a great Irish bar where we ended up every night

Street noise might be an issue for some

Good location to stay as you can access a lot from here. Typical accommodations for this chain so no surprises there. However, there are a number of night clubs on the street which were'nt open when we were there. Knowing weekend frivolity typical of German cities, I can see noise being a factor. We were there on a Tuesday night and could hear some revelers (for a Tuesday!). So if you want a totally quiet night, that may be an issue for you. That said, this is a good place to stay.

Decent Hotel, Walking Distance To Many of Cologne

I was apprehensive of the distance from city centre, but after one walk of approx 15mins with carryall, I knew my way back and forth. It's a simple straight path and the location is awesome, food places in front and high street only 2 mins walk away.

Staff was nice and allowed us to check in early at 1030. Room is clean and tidy, daily room service and even a pot of sweets on valentines day. Only thing I wasn't happy with was the issue with slow flow rate in bath plug hole. 1min into a shower and water is above my ankle. Complaint to the front desk on first day, told them I'm going out so please fix it. Nothing was done, came back day 2, second lot of staff knew of issue and will be fix. Still nothing. Right up to the last day, still not fixed.

Not a manor issue but definitely gave me a bad impression to an overall great holiday and hotel for location, comfort and rest.

Would visit again, but ensure they fix it on day one and not get the fob around from different shift staff.

Oh and the Japanese across the road, all you can eat is a grwat place to dine when you cannot be bothered to head too far out. Dwlicious!

It is such a hard time staying in a room with direct sunshine until 9pm without air ventilation. What I mean ventilation isn't the missing of air conditioning but there's no fan and the window can only open up to a few centimeters only. There's room with air conditioning but maybe I missed this important feature while booking, but sorry I really expects basic air ventilation for breathing.
