Okay for a short trip

25 walk from the Dom. hotel was a bit too automated for our liking, although the staff were excellent. Tea and coffee only available is a booth on each floor, with a precarious hot water dispenser, I burned my finger. Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and plenty of them. Could do with comfier chairs in the bar/restaurant. Nice selection at breakfast.

Very cute hotel with a ton of character and charm. Extremely friendly staff al hours of the day/night. Bar in lobby is nice as well and lively. Never having been to cologne before, the location was perfect and allowed me to see everything I wanted in a short stay. Many many good restaurants in a short walking distance. Area was lively at night, and hotel felt safe. Only thing was the room had a semi private bathroom, due to design, but we figured it out and enjoyed thoroughly. I’m aware this is American of me to say that, but I believe it can be helpful to some. Great hotel, food, drinks, area. Would definitely stay again at Ruby Ella

Highly recommended hotel in Cologne.

Lovely hotel we stay at for the same business trip annually. Comfy beds, modern rooms with great facilities and the most amazing in-room shower & sink area with the best light-up mirror. Love it and wouldn't enjoy anywhere else in Cologne as much.

Nicely decorated, well appointed and spacious room. Good location with lots of bars and restaurants and a quick U-Bahn ride to the centre. Galleys on the 2nd and 4th floor with a coffee/tea station and ironing board is a nice touch. Self-check in process took longer and seemed to require inputting far more information that usual when a member of staff checks me in. It was annoying after a long day of work and travelling and felt very impersonal. It just seems like a way to cut costs for the hotel and more work for the customer. Was given the choice between a welcome drink and room cleaning for the second day of my stay. I don’t see why it should be one or the other but I chose the celaning service and my room looked barely cleaned the next day with the floor dirty and the bedding looking messy. Again just seemed like another way to cut costs and standard of service.
