Excellent location in cologne
I spent two very comfortable nights in this elegant hotel which is located about as close to the main train station as it is possible to be. the excelsior is an older hotel and standard rooms are somewhat small, but comfortable and spotlessly maintained. my only complaint is a minor one: the television offerings are rather slim and the remote was ancient, the movies for purchase function didn't seem to work and so selection was limited. but this was probably a blessing in disguise as i really needed to be up early the next days and had no time for television in any event. also, when in cologne there are much better things to do than watch tv! the staff here are outstanding -- friendly, helpful and always cheerful it seems. made for a very pleasant stay.
