The Hotel Niu is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. After a horrific commute into the country, the welcome to the hotel was second to none. Daniel was an absolutely fantastic host on the reception, he asked if I wanted a queen bed, as floors below the 4th floor were 2 single beds pushed together. I asked to have the queen and that was the room we were given. We got breakfast included with our stay and also signed up for the IHG Rewards. Daniel was an incredible host, he made us feel so welcome and he went above and beyond for us. He gave us brilliant recommendations for places to see, eat and drink across Cologne like a local! Sebastian was an equally wonderful staff member who kept us entertained behind the bar every night! He was such a joy to be around and he was so friendly and attentive. The cocktails were also fantastic! I would come back to the Niu simply for these staff members! I also loved the breakfast, it was replenished very regularly, offering a huge variety of options for every taste. The room was a lovely size, enough room for all of our things and the bed was so comfy! I adored everything about this hotel and I would highly highly recommend it!

This was a bad experience. The hotel does not represent Holiday Inn experience. There is no sign of Holiday Inn from outside, only The-niu which was confusing to us and our taxi driver which we ended up in Holiday Inn Express, then returning to this hotel only to find the IHG signs inside by the check in desk. Complaining to the clerk ended up with nowhere other than apology, they are aware of the confusion that’s been creating with other guests as well. We saw other guests arrive with same problem. The room was very small, no closet, just a small rack to hang only two hangers. The staff was very nice. Bottom line, this is not the reputation of Holiday Inn definitely will not return.
