Great stay!
Nice welcome and room was pleasantly large. Fridge and coffee/tea was welcome (though not stocked so reliably). Breakfast was great, even when busy. Staff super helpful when leaving very early (4am) for flight. Room view was nice and enjoyed the Dom!

Avoid until they fix stairs to slanted pathways.
A Hilton property is designed to create extremely challenging stays for its guests. There is no easy slanted pathway with luggage. I had to lift up heavy bags multiple times on stairs and uneven levels. Not a single property in Belgium can be approved for use with this condition.

Perfect stay.
Perfect stay. Big comfortable room with a king size bed and the view of the Cathedral. The room was clean and bathroom was spacious. 3 minutes walk from the train station, the Christmas market around the corner

The accommodations were great! Big room and very clean, location was perfect about 6 min walk from the Cologne Central Station/Cathedral and very close to many restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this for someone looking for an easy, reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location.
