What guests think

At Hotel Lyskirchen Köln, travellers highlight a very convenient location near the Rhine and Old Town, generally clean, modern rooms, and friendly, helpful staff, making it a practical base for city breaks, business trips, and Christmas‑market visits.

Common downsides include housekeeping done only on request, room layouts with showers open to the bedroom reducing privacy, and inconsistent Wi‑Fi or climate control. Facilities draw praise overall, though the pool can feel cold and on‑site parking is tight and paid; the digital self check‑in works for some but can be frustrating. Breakfast is widely liked though sometimes pricey; overall, expect a modern, well‑located base with a few quirks to note.

All very clean and nice. TV remote was the only gripe.. it was filthy from years of use. Breakfast was nice. Location is fantastic, down a quiet little road, but close enough to Christmas markets, museum and rail links. Staff were very nice and accomodsting. Pool is a bit chilly, but I suspect the heat has been turned down during this energy crisis. We would stay here again.

Freundliche Mitarbeiter beim Check in, jedoch macht es wenig Sinn über Tablets online einzuchecken, wenn gefühlt jeder Hilfe benötigt… Parkhaus ist nur für kleine Autos geeignet. Solange das Parkhaus nicht voll ist ok, aber da die Kosten 24 Euro pro Nacht sind, dann wo anders außerhalb etwas suchen. Zimmer sind groß genug, Betten sehr bequem.

Staff are nice and helpful. Not particularly clean just acceptable I stayed there only for one night but the cleaning staff knocked my door at 930 while I was still sleeping. Also, the checkout time is noon but I did not manage to open my door after 1130. Luckily there was a staff right outside my room. That’s something the hotel can improve.

This is a good property, it’s very well situated to visit the main sights of cologne. The hotel condition and amenities are good, but a few things bring down the rating. They only clean the rooms every 3 days. Basically, my room was never cleaned during my 2 night stay. The staff, with the exception of the lady who helped me check out, lack friendliness. They were not rude or anything, just very brief in their communication without any warmth or hospitality. These are areas they should work on. Overall this is a perfectly adequate hotel for a few days in cologne.

The room was spacious and clean and the amenities were on par with expectations with the exception of tea making facilities as listed on Expedia - there was a coffee pod machine but no tea bags or a spoon for stirring in sugar. Also the breakfast buffet was expensive at $27 Euro - I only want some cereal and toast so was not prepared to pay that. The hotel staff was helpful if approached but not readily available otherwise. I have never been asked to pay a fee for luggage storage so was surprised there was a charge for this even though I didn’t need to use the service on this visit. I booked this hotel as it mentioned daily room housekeeping but was not aware until I left that this was something only done if you make a special request. This hotel seemed to be transitioning to an online service portal for checkin and all other services and I got the feeling that the staff were not all that comfortable with the system yet. Overall, a good clean hotel in a great location.

I wish to make known my complete dissatisfaction at this booking. I booked a room with Twin beds and private bathroom for 2 work colleagues going to a Trade show. The room was completely unsuitable for this situation at a cost of two thousand euro! Clearly when twin beds were booked it was not a couple! The beds could not be separated by the guests and the shower was located in the main room with absolutely NO privacy. Despite reception staff trying to be helpful the hotel was booked and a change of room was not possible but this should never have happened in the first place. Serious attention to detail required going forward. Very disappointed.

There was this customer service officer. His attitude was terrible. Asked about possibility of having room side by side he said not possible in a loud tone. When asked about estimated time to leave hotel for airport, he answered it depends on how many gates and traffic condition, so he cannot tell me anything. First time encountering such customer service. Perhaps he is in bad mood, or dislike talking to a chinese or whatever. Rudest hotel staff I have ever met.

The hotel operates an online check in and your key is on your phone, so little interaction with staff but everyone we saw was friendly. Great stay

The property is located in a walkable tourist area near major attractions (e.g., museums and historical landmarks) and is well-priced compared to competing hotels. There are also traditional German restaurants nearby. The only issues are the loud streets, no onsite laundry, and the all-you-can-eat breakfast is absurdly priced. Overall, excellent stay.
