What guests think
Across recent reviews, The Ascot Hotel is praised for a convenient location near transit, bars, and the Belgian Quarter, while feedback frequently notes dated interiors, many stairs or no lift, and street noise affecting some rooms.
Rooms are often spacious, but amenities and decor feel basic, and some guests reported temperature or ventilation issues. Cleanliness is generally acceptable, though housekeeping misses and worn carpets or odors appear in a minority of stays. Service is commonly friendly, yet several guests described unhelpful responses and confusing pet policies. Overall, expect a convenient city base with trade-offs in noise, stairs, and dated features.

4star is a stretch - 3star at best. Location was good (20min walk from central station) and service was friendly enough. Room and decor is very tired. Room had a balcony, but not clean enough to use. Room had no bottled water or tea/coffee making facilities as advertised. Air conditioning was not really effective and room was uncomfortably warm at night. Hotel bar was not in use and we did not use the restaurant so cannot comment on that. Well situated for downtown and Belgian quarter, plenty of food/drink options. Additional local tax was charged on checkout, despite being included on the Expedia invoice. Was a last minute booking, and fair value, but wouldn't stay again.

We chose this hotel be wise it was listed as pet friendly and with parking. Upon arrival we are told there is no parking and instructed to use a public parking one block away. The rooms are clean but shabby and in need of an update, lacking any kind of amenities apart from a bed, tv and bathroom. The next morning we are greeted by a female member of staff telling us we cannot bring our dog to the breakfast room. We ask her for a solution and after a while she agrees to us having breakfast in the bar next to the reception desk. Feeling quite disappointed in the situation, we raised the matter with the lady behind the reception desk. The lady proceeded to tell us the hotel “allows pets” but is not pet friendly, she also added we were not staying in a pet friendly room- not sure why. All in all the staff seemed pretty u professional and lacking in basic hospitality. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

There are multiple stairs before you get to the lobby. If you have a lot of luggage it is very difficult to get your luggage up. The staff member at reception who was doing nothing saw me struggling and didn’t even offer to help. He was also quite rude. And even though two of us had checked in, there was only one towel for the two of us in the bathroom. Besides that the only available parking is across a very busy street and that is not listed when you’re looking the property up. The parking situation is terrible.

The hotel is in a great location for bars and restaurants. Brauhaus Paeffgen (a favourite) is minutes away. The Dom and Hbf are a 15-20 minute walk away. The hotel is clean, our room was spacious, though some of the decor is a little tired. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. I would stay again.

It was a horrible experience. The picture what I booked and what I have been offered was completely different. The room for about 172€ (tourist tax) should not be that outdated and if you book a non-smoking room then the room should not smell that level. I could not sleep entire night. Smell was just terrible. I didnt pay to get horrible Cologne holiday. I hope Expedia will take serious actions. I believe Expedia cares for its customers.

Leider entsprach das Hotel nicht den Erwartungen, die durch die Bilder im Internet geweckt wurden. Die Zimmer waren deutlich kleiner als angenommen, die Einrichtung wirkt alt und abgewohnt. Insgesamt macht das Hotel einen eher renovierungsbedürftigen Eindruck und entspricht aus meiner Sicht keinesfalls dem Standard eines 4-Sterne-Hotels. Preis-Leistung ist hier leider nicht gegeben.

Unsafe. Was assaulted right outside of the hotel, right before walking into the hotel entrance. The the front desk clerk refused to help and said it wasn’t his problem, so police was called. I was injured with visible blood on me and staff receptionist just said I can go back into my hotel room to clean up and said they won’t be doing anything about the incident. I gave police my information and from my understanding a police report was filed. Furthermore, this hotel lacks basic security like anyone can walk inside the hotel, access the elevator, and get right up to the guest rooms. The area around the hotel is full of broken glass.

We chose this hotel be wise it was listed as pet friendly and with parking. Upon arrival we are told there is no parking and instructed to use a public parking one block away. The rooms are clean but shabby and in need of an update, lacking any kind of amenities apart from a bed, tv and bathroom. The next morning we are greeted by a female member of staff telling us we cannot bring our dog to the breakfast room. We ask her for a solution and after a while she agrees to us having breakfast in the bar next to the reception desk. Feeling quite disappointed in the situation, we raised the matter with the lady behind the reception desk. The lady proceeded to tell us the hotel “allows pets” but is not pet friendly, she also added we were not staying in a pet friendly room- not sure why. All in all the staff seemed pretty u professional and lacking in basic hospitality. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Leider ging unsere Heizung im Bad nicht, haben dafür als Entschädigung 2x Frühstück umsonst bekommen und durften jeden Tag kostenlos die Kaffeemaschine mitbenutzen. Fanden wir mega lieb! Das frühstück ist ausreichend lecker und vielseitig. Guten Kaffee haben sie auch noch. Die Lage war Top. Alles zu Fuß erreichbar, Cafes, Restaurants und auch Shopping Streets. Neben uns direkt ein Rewe. Würde immer wieder diese Unterkunft buchen in Köln. :)

There are multiple stairs before you get to the lobby. If you have a lot of luggage it is very difficult to get your luggage up. The staff member at reception who was doing nothing saw me struggling and didn’t even offer to help. He was also quite rude. And even though two of us had checked in, there was only one towel for the two of us in the bathroom. Besides that the only available parking is across a very busy street and that is not listed when you’re looking the property up. The parking situation is terrible.

Location is convenient for the Belgian Quarter, bars and restaurants, and transit links, with the Dom and Hbf reachable by foot or a short ride. The street is lively and can be noisy, and one review raised safety concerns near the entrance.

Unsafe. Was assaulted right outside of the hotel, right before walking into the hotel entrance. The the front desk clerk refused to help and said it wasn’t his problem, so police was called. I was injured with visible blood on me and staff receptionist just said I can go back into my hotel room to clean up and said they won’t be doing anything about the incident. I gave police my information and from my understanding a police report was filed. Furthermore, this hotel lacks basic security like anyone can walk inside the hotel, access the elevator, and get right up to the guest rooms. The area around the hotel is full of broken glass.

4star is a stretch - 3star at best. Location was good (20min walk from central station) and service was friendly enough. Room and decor is very tired. Room had a balcony, but not clean enough to use. Room had no bottled water or tea/coffee making facilities as advertised. Air conditioning was not really effective and room was uncomfortably warm at night. Hotel bar was not in use and we did not use the restaurant so cannot comment on that. Well situated for downtown and Belgian quarter, plenty of food/drink options. Additional local tax was charged on checkout, despite being included on the Expedia invoice. Was a last minute booking, and fair value, but wouldn't stay again.

Habe für 4 Nächte dieses Hotel gebucht. Es war ein angenehmer Aufenthalt. Personal war immer erreichbar und sehr freundlich. Leider ging unsere Heizung im Bad nicht, haben dafür als Entschädigung 2x Frühstück umsonst bekommen und durften jeden Tag kostenlos die Kaffeemaschine mitbenutzen. Fanden wir mega lieb! Das frühstück ist ausreichend lecker und vielseitig. Guten Kaffee haben sie auch noch. Die Lage war Top. Alles zu Fuß erreichbar, Cafes, Restaurants und auch Shopping Streets. Neben uns direkt ein Rewe. Würde immer wieder diese Unterkunft buchen in Köln. :)

Convenience, from the Central Station you take Train #5 two short stops and then hotel a 3 minute walk, and a great supermarket . Once in the hotel , very stylish. They give you bottles of water for the room,still or with bubbles. The one disappointment, which happens frequently, is that they have next door another property with a gym/spa and as seein in the photo of the entrance where the word HOTEL is, thats a doorway you don;t use but its likely a home for the homeless or just where they go and urinate. They are unable to do anything about this, and they don;t think to wash the area daily.

The hotel is in a great location for bars and restaurants. Brauhaus Paeffgen (a favourite) is minutes away. The Dom and Hbf are a 15-20 minute walk away. The hotel is clean, our room was spacious, though some of the decor is a little tired. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. I would stay again.

This is not a 4-star hotel - maybe 3 om a good day. Hotel is old but kept in fair condition. The service was questionable, and the breakfast is at best 2 stars. You can do a lot better than this for the price!

Did the job. Clean but very basic. Drinks at the bar very expensive. Decent location, but a very forgettable hotel.

We chose this hotel be wise it was listed as pet friendly and with parking. Upon arrival we are told there is no parking and instructed to use a public parking one block away. The rooms are clean but shabby and in need of an update, lacking any kind of amenities apart from a bed, tv and bathroom. The next morning we are greeted by a female member of staff telling us we cannot bring our dog to the breakfast room. We ask her for a solution and after a while she agrees to us having breakfast in the bar next to the reception desk. Feeling quite disappointed in the situation, we raised the matter with the lady behind the reception desk. The lady proceeded to tell us the hotel “allows pets” but is not pet friendly, she also added we were not staying in a pet friendly room- not sure why. All in all the staff seemed pretty u professional and lacking in basic hospitality. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and filled with beautiful furniture. The ensuite was very good and there was a balcony you could sit on. The feel of the room was one of elegance. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately in a sign of the times the restaurant was closed down. Parking was about 200m away and was €18 euro for the night.

Great stay and good location. Easy access to transit. Staff were very nice and helpful and room was quite large. Wish it had had a queen mattress instead of two singles pushed together but it was otherwise perfect and comfortable.
