Guests can relax in an airy, conservatory-style lounge with a tiled floor. Other amenities include a leafy garden, a public Internet terminal and a 24-hour reception.
A continental breakfast buffet (at a fee) is served in a functional dining area each day between 6.30-10.30am. There’s also a modest bar adjacent to the reception desk.
The Novum Hotel Silence Garden Köln is a 25-minute tram ride from Cologne Central Station and the city’s famed Gothic cathedral. Cologne-Bonn Airport is just over five miles away.
Positive Reviews
positive:
Neighbourhood is very pleasant and peaceful
The vast majority of guests who've stayed here have been won over by the hotel's relaxed suburban setting. Clearly, the bustle-free roads and leafy streets of this small town setting provide a welcome contrast to the fervent bustle and metropolitan buzz of Cologne city centre.
positive:
Spick-and-span throughout
It has been noted that the interiors of this hotel always seem to look immaculately clean. Needless to say, most travellers were very appreciative of this.
positive:
Accommodations are a decent size
Many visitors have been surprised (in a pleasant way) by the size of the guest rooms here. Clearly this is one business hotel where, in square-footage terms at least, you actually get plenty of bang-for-your-buck!
Negative Reviews
negative:
Beds aren't the most comfortable
A significant number of weary guests have drawn attention to the rather disappointing levels of comfort afforded by the beds here. Thin pillows and backache-inducing mattresses were deemed a less-than-impressive combination.
negative:
Suburban locale is a little too far out
A great many visitors have concluded that the distance (six miles) between the hotel and the city centre is excessive. Most travellers agreed that a ten-minute walk to the tram stop followed by a 25-minute journey is just too much to be truly convenient.
negative:
Absent air-conditioning can cause issues
Precious few travellers have had good things to say about this hotel chain's policy of not having any effective air-conditioning units installed in its accommodations. Evidently, things can get uncomfortably warm and muggy in this property at times.
