Mondial am Dom Mgallery - Cologne, Germany 

"Comfort, efficiency, & good location"

Fortunately, I did not let the random negative review of Dorint Sofital Am Dom posted on Trip Advisor, deter me from making a weekend booking. My friend and I requested a double room each, via Expedia, at a very good rate of ?133 p.p. for two nights. Our rooms were NOT small; the bathrooms were attractive, modern, and well equipped. The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable with good quality bed linen. The staff polite, helpful and friendly. Breakfast for 22 euros was very good value with many options, catering for an international clientele. The modern seating areas in the large lobby are sleek & comfortable.The small square in front of the hotel is currently undergoing construction work, but the location and comfort of the hotel more than make up for it.

Tiny rooms, overpriced, overheated

We stayed in a standard double - it was far too small for the price and five star rating. I've had a larger room in an Ibis at 1/3 of the price. Although the common parts were far too hot, once the heating in the room was disabled, and the window opened, the room temperature was Ok. There was not enough hanging space in the very compact storage area, and moving around has to be one at a time as passing space limited! Publicity wrongly asserts each room has a luxury bath - not true, ours had a basic shower. The plus points are a superb, comfortable bed, good quality bedding, good, helpful staff and very central location. As we were not about to pay 22 Euros each for breakfast, can't comment as to the quality thereof. If I'd paid rack rate I'd be furious - but as we got a good lastminute.com deal I'm only slightly miffed! Accor hotels vary so much for a chain - I have to say (and I've stayed at a lot) - 70% are superb, 20% Okish and 10% just don't hit the price/what's on offer button - and this is one of that 10%

Great Hotel !!! Excelent !!

Both the room rate and the restaurant and bar prices are too high for what you get. Occasional Internet offers might be more reasonable. Location is excellent of course, very near the cathedral and the Hauptbahnhof.
