Park Inn Koln City-West - Cologne, Germany 

A cloud of smoke
Posted: Fri, Jun 27 2008
Stayed at the Park Inn on a business trip in November 2007. Forgot to check the box for "non-smoker room" and got a smoker room. It turned out that the Park Inn only had one floor that was non-smoking. They did move me to a non-smoker room but I had to pay 20 Euro extra for that. The rooms are actually okay, but when I first entered the lobby, I stepped into a cloud of smoke... cigar smoke, cigarette smoke... I attended a training at the hotel, and during every break the break area was a cloud of smoke as well, so we had to have our coffee & snacks inmidst all the smoke which was quite unpleasant. Staff are very friendly, food is good. I wouldn't stay there again on account of their smoking policy.

Good quality

Had to escape the original [--] that we originally booked into and could only find vacancy in this hotel due to big trade fair on in city. Friendly helpful staff. Modern very clean rooms. Close to tram line, nice walking distance to centre - 20 mins. A few more decent english channels would not go a miss .....and not more news channels - sometmes its nice to forget the nasty going on's in this world. Overall quite happy with this place.
