Hotel Viktoria is a charming, old-fashioned European hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was excellent. I didn't eat breakfast there so can't comment on that.

The hotel is located in a quiet side-street in Cologne, seemingly well away from any shops, bars, restaurants.
The largest drawback however was that the hotel only served breakfast, had no lounge or bar area to chill & relax, & so could really only be used for sleeping & breakfast.
However, we soon located a very good - reasonably expensive - steakhouse near bye, & a collection of resturarnts about 15 minutes easy stroll away.
I was attending a trade fair at the Cologne Messe, which was around 10mins away by cab, circa £16 each way.
My wife used the time I was away at the show to walk along the Rhine, into Cologne centre, easy 25mins walk to the Cathedral.
Nice hotel, but would not use again because of the dining/bar situation.

Excellent. Located in a quiet side street near the Rhine. Comfortable room, very quiet hotel, friendly staff & breakfast. 5 minutes walk from Reichensperger Platz U Bahn metro station a couple of stops from Köln Hbf & the Dom. Reception manned 24/7. A safe quiet area.I would definitely stay again.

Not 4-star
Appreciated healthy options at breakfast buffet, cleanliness, quiet, good shower pressure, kettle & mini-frig.
They advertise that they have air conditioning which was a reason I booked it. It's actually only in 3 rooms. My 1st room was extremely hot & the staff person told me it didn't have AC. So I was moved to a lower floor which he said would be cooler. It didn't have AC so I got very little sleep. The next morning they told me the 1st room actually had AC. So I packed up everything & moved back up there after I made sure the AC was working. The manager took no responsibility nor offered an apology for false advertising, the lost nite's sleep or having to change rooms again. The mattresses were beyond firm so very uncomfortable. The pillows were way too soft, like sleeping on a jacket. It's located well away from the historic center so not convenient. Only 1 out of 3 windows had a screen. One window was hanging off its hinge. They load the mini frig with products to sell which is a nuisance to have to move them to use the frig. You have to climb stairs & carry your own bags to the 2nd floor to get the lift. Their biggest issue is safety in the event of a fire because the keys & door locks are historic so do not work quickly or easily.

One of the worst places I’ve been. It’s old, ugly, the bedroom looks like a prison cell, and there is barely anything. A disaster.

Wonderful place with a good breakfast. I bit outside central Cologne but within walking distance and close to Zoo and Botanical Garden. Parking usually available on the street for 5 Euro for 24 hours.

Hieman vanhanaikainen hotelli, jossa ei ole ilmastointia tai illtaisin auki olevaa ravintolaa. Palvelu oli ystävällistä ja siisteys hyvä.

Das Einzelzimmer im 6. Stock ist großgut eingerichtet, aber nicht wirklich ansprechend mit sehr kleinen und hohen Fenstern, weit oben in der Wand gleichen sie mehr Lüftungsluken.
