Ruby Ella Hotel Cologne

We stayed at the Ruby in Köln and we are very happy with our choice. The main reasons for rating so highly are: Great location - short walk into the Altstadt or literally a one minute train ride from the station nearby. Parking is perfect - easy to park outside in designated space whilst checking in, and then a nice spacious and secure parking space underground was allocated for our stay - this is super convenient. Friendly, cool hotel, great facilities, lovely quiet rooms - checking in was super easy and we immediately felt very comfortable and welcome. Our room was perfect - clean, comfortable and quiet - we had the best sleep! Breakfast - this was superb. Again, super friendly and attentive team, coffees were served quickly (and often) and are really good quality. The buffet is perfect - really nice selection (including vegetarian options for my wife) and exactly what we wanted. Checkout - also very efficient, simply dropping the key card into the box. I can't think of any suggestions for improvement, however wanted to add some details about why this is such a great hotel in Köln, we will definitely choose the Ruby next time we visit Köln and are already checking out other cities where you are located.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Yasmin noted that I was heading out the door and asked if I wanted cappuccino to go after breakfast, and Tim made sure I had everything I needed, including that important first coffee. Shout out also to Iros behind the bar, making sure I got a decent glass of wine and some great recommendations for going out at night. Thanks also to Joanna and Hamza, I felt very welcome!

The Ruby Ella has such a good vibe- the staff were very friendly and helpful. our room had everything we needed for 3 nights - we opted to have a free drink rather than our room cleaned. Shower was great (2 settings) there is a big mirror with lights, really good wardrobe space. Also, there were 2 duvets on the bed which was great ( very hard to find hotels that offer twin beds in cologne) The bar area is really nice and I really liked the huge variety for breakfast. The food is really good quality. The hotel is in the Belgian quarter and it’s my favourite area in cologne for food and drinks. The hotel is less than a 20min from the cathedral and main strain station I was so impressed with this hotel overall that I will be staying at their hotel in Munich next year

A very tastefully designed hotel. Extremely modern and clean. Our room was spotlessly clean. Nice facilities, such as complimentary tea and coffee in communal galleys. The bar is nice, and the service is great. Check in is seamless and quick, and check out instant. Well located, a 15/20 minute walk from the Dom, and close to other Christmas markets. Very close to U-Bahn stop.

Great central location and very hip and funky in its decor. Nice touches like the Marshall speaker and Bluetooth speaker in the room. An excellent feature is the Galley on each floor with useful stuff like coffee and a (clean) iron and ironing board. Very handy if you need to spruce up that polo shirt before a night on the town.
