Kommer meget gerne igen
Super dejligt hotel, spændende og moderne indretning.
Vi fik så god en service, også i baren.
Vi kommer gerne igen eller ser efter et Ruby Hotel, når vi rejser i fremtiden.

Okay for a short trip
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.

Highly recommended hotel in Cologne.
Lovely hotel we stay at for the same business trip annually. Comfy beds, modern rooms with great facilities and the most amazing in-room shower & sink area with the best light-up mirror. Love it and wouldn't enjoy anywhere else in Cologne as much.

Hip hotel nabij Friesenplatz
Prima hotel. Goed bereikbaar met eigen auto of openbaar vervoer.
Tip: de parkeergarage tegenover het hotel (Parkhaus Ring Karree) heeft een gunstig tarief als je na inrijden direct bij het kantoortje en meerdagenkaart koopt.
