Reviews for Excelsior Hotel Ernst
Exceptional hotel with exquisite service
We had the most wonderful stay at Hotel Ernst! From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and received exceptional service. The reception staff helped us with an early check in as well as upgrades to gorgeous rooms. The rooms were quiet, spacious and well appointed. The amenities were lovely. We enjoyed the bar and the Hanse Stube restaurant, both of which were fantastic. We would absolutely love to stay again; it was just perfect.

Excelsior excels…
Lovely property in the very centre of Cologne. Top level breakfast, product offering, and friendly staff. Overall good service, and a very calm and pleasant vibe. Older/dated rooms; but noting too old. Overall, a great property in this city.

Grand Style.
We enjoyed our two night stay here in a most comfortable and sumptuously styled hotel. The location is perfect for all the city has to offer, and despite the central location rooms were quiet. The breakfast was nice but not exceptional or good value for money, we would give it a miss if we stay here again.

WORST HOTEL IN COLONIA.
Poor reception service. During my last stay, an unauthorized charge was made to my credit card, claiming it was a fine for smoking in the room—an accusation that was completely false and unfounded. When I requested explanations and proof of this claim, the reception staff were unable to provide any evidence or justification, nor did they allow me to discuss the issue with their manager. Supposedly, the receptionist was going to pass on my complaint to the manager, but I was never contacted. I do not recommend this hotel at all, especially considering the many far better options than the EXCELSIOR HOTEL ERNST in Colonia
