Hotel Allegro Köln

Wonderful hotel. Even single rooms are spacious enough, but it is better to stay with family or friends than to visit for business.

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights during the Euro 2024 tournament. It was a very convenient location on the riverfront and close to the Heumarkt fanzone, numerous restaurants and bars, and city transit stops. It's also within walking distance of key sights including the Chocolate Museum, the Cathedral, and several great museums. The owner, his daughter and their employees were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast spread was very good. The wifi went out intermittently a few times during our stay, but other than that everything about our stay was superb.

Very disappointing stay at this hotel. The first room we had was absolutely tiny (the rooms here are all very different!!), the shower leaked and I had to nearly beg the clerk on the desk for a towel and he could only give me one. There was no coffee machine in the room and apparently not all the rooms have coffee machines!!! I asked to be moved and we moved to another room which was definitely better and a lot larger, though also the shower there actually clogged for me (though it did work for my partner, not sure exactly how). The internet there is TERRIBLE. Most hotel internets can be slow, but this was unbearably slow. The breakfast is not included (it is 15 euro) and I refused to do it after seeing what my partner got which included stale white bread and liquid eggs, which I think should NEVER be included in a breakfast you have to pay extra for. Also, there were a lot of issues with the lighting in the rooms, I mean in the 2nd better room the bedroom lights had 2 different kinds of light bulbs!!! The left side was a pleasant yellow-glow lightbulb while the other was a harsh white halogen/LED bulb. Why??? There was a definite lack of attention to small details that make a stay in a hotel worth it.
