Bonprix Hotel

Very remote aerea no transport public

Stayed here for the England game in cologne. The hotel was decent. Room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Check in was done via a door buzzer which was new to me, but no issues at all and easy enough to figure out. I didn’t have breakfast but there is a buffet from roughly 6:30am to 9:30am. There was no noise from other rooms and the hotel doesn’t have a bar or music. Do bear in mind this hotel is situated in an industrial area and away from any restaurants/bars or houses. The businesses shut at normal working hours so there’s no issue with noise, in fact it’s incredibly quiet at night because no one is around. This hotel is much better for those who are driving as it is linked to a main road and has a big, free car park. If you are using public transport, like I did, the Brühl-Vochem tram station is closest. It is 20min walk and the route is very easy, albeit down a main road. Trams to and from cologne centre are every 20 mins and it takes roughly 45mins to get to the main station. The nearest train station is Brühl-Kierberg. Takes 15 mins from cologne centre but is a 40mim walk from there. Nearest train station is 15-20 min walk and has trams to cologne centre every 20mins. The only things nearby are a McDonald’s and, randomly, an ‘erotica’ club at the top of the road. Overall good stay, but it is more of an overnight stop hotel for those travelling, not for tourism.

Adequate for 1 night stopover. Access and checking in was tricky and a bit difficult to find. Facilities and breakfast was excellent.
