Summary: Clean room that had a modern feel but a lot of character (and a real perk being able to rent a guitar to the room). Bar in the hotel was really cool and leans into the theme of the hotel (being a former TV studio) and drinks were sublime. Staff really friendly and overall, I find it hard to fault anything - we really enjoyed our stay here and if returning to Cologne, would likely stay here again. (Especially being in a good and central location - everything is walkable)

Summary: Cool decor, nice (but pricey) 24 hr bar. Quiet rooms. Decent location, but a bit of a walk from the cathedral/river area.

Summary: Rooms were a great size and spotlessly clean.
Marshall amps in each room were very tempting but I never heard anyone fully rocking out with a it of the guitars available so either every guest was very respectful or the noise proofing very good.
The eco friendly approach to linens was novel, finally a hotel that rewards you for being environmentally conscious!

Summary: Great stay in hotel. Room is clean but you have to be close to the person you are sharing with as the shower opens into the room. Staff very friendly and nice bar area. Would definitely stay again

Summary: Everything great, clean, good service. Beds were very firm so a matter of personal taste. I prefer softer.

Summary: 25 walk from the Dom.
hotel was a bit too automated for our liking, although the staff were excellent.
Tea and coffee only available is a booth on each floor, with a precarious hot water dispenser, I burned my finger.
Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and plenty of them.
Could do with comfier chairs in the bar/restaurant.
Nice selection at breakfast.

Summary: Very cute hotel with a ton of character and charm. Extremely friendly staff al hours of the day/night. Bar in lobby is nice as well and lively. Never having been to cologne before, the location was perfect and allowed me to see everything I wanted in a short stay. Many many good restaurants in a short walking distance. Area was lively at night, and hotel felt safe. Only thing was the room had a semi private bathroom, due to design, but we figured it out and enjoyed thoroughly. I’m aware this is American of me to say that, but I believe it can be helpful to some. Great hotel, food, drinks, area. Would definitely stay again at Ruby Ella
