Big thanks go out to all of he staff at the Excelsior for making our stay so wonderful. After booking via another travel website, I had emailed the hotel ahead of our stay and cheekily asked if it would be possible to have a room with a Cathedral view as we were celebrating a birthday during our stay. They replied... More

Fantastic hotel, so central for everything, 5 mins from the train station. Staff were outstanding, all so friendly, was given an upgrade due to my birthday, the hotel is full of charm and old school glamour, the piano bar and courtyard are so relaxing and beautiful. Free mini bar stocked daily, breakfast - great selection with eggs made to order.... More

This hotel is very well located, near the station and to the Dom. Staff is extremely helpful, Rooms are spacious and very well decorated. There´s a free mini bar, which is also very convenient. I definetely recommend it.

The location and beautiful rooms of the Excelsior Hotel Ernst warrant a high rating in themselves. The Dom of Cologne is opposite the hotel and all the main attractions like the Altstadt (Old Town) are really close. Our room was huge and decorated with high quality materials and furnishings. But what really makes this hotel stand out compared to other... More

The hotel is an easy walk from the railway station. Staff were friendly and professional throughout our entire three day stay. The room was large and attractively furnished with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was large with an excellent shower and a separate bath. The free mini-bar was restocked each day. Television choices were excellent and included English language... More

I picked the Excelsior Hotel Ernst (EHE) for my recent weekend visit to Cologne for two reasons: its #1 TA ranking and reviews, and its location. I'm glad I did; EHE is an outstanding hotel. (I also got a very good rate on Expedia -- $170/night, including all taxes and service charges.) The EHE is lovely; the hotel property is... More

I chose the hotel for its proximity to the Cathedral and that it was an old 19th century building. I was not disappointed. Its perfectly positioned and very luxurious. The service was impeccable, probably some of the best I have ever experienced. The restaurant is expensive - but its a gourmet treat. I have nothing but positive things to say... More

In line with the recent reviews, this is a nice hotel with good service from the staff. On check in I was upgraded to a larger room. The room was large, but perhaps a bit bland with regards to decour. Mind, how much time do you spend in your room. A nice touch on check in was being shown to... More
