Hotel Chelsea

wonderful small hotel. rooms are very clean and comfortable. the staff is always friendly and helpful. the attached restaurant is delicious and the location is great! there is even an outside patio for smokers

While not a fancy hotel, the Chelsea is full of character and history if you are interested in art at all. Cologne was a big art center in the 80s and this hotel was at the center of it. So if you’re into that kind of thing, it’s a nice bit of history. Rooms are clean, service is matter of fact, breakfast is decent (the buffet is not the vast spread one might be used to at other German hotels). All in all, a nice and interesting place to stay. The area around it is nice, and in walking distance to most places. Cologne is a small town after all.

I love this hotel, I got rooms with small terrace with great view of the neighborhood. The restaurant downstairs is nice too. The only bad thing is probably the noice people make on the street during night time due to that area is near bars... but it doesn’t bother my sleep as the noice is not that loud

Comfy rooms, better room than expected, but hotel was under construction.

The hotel is very well located, however rates and extra services are super expensive for what would be included in hotels in other cities. The staff isn't overtly friendly - travelling with a child didn't mean that a member of staff would have held the door when we were arriving/departing with tons of bags. The rooms were good overall.
