Leonardo Royal Hotel Cologne Bonn Airport
Large clean room with good facilities. Had dinner in hotel, food and drink good but waiter constantly in his phone. Couldn’t get through to hotel for shuttle bus from airport and no one on reception when we arrived. However shuttle bus back to airport was easy to arrange.

A basic good clean hotel centrally located in the city center next to a church that its bell would chime every fifteen minutes. Their night receptionist needs training in professionalism and manners!
