The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Goede locatie voor Messe Schoon Alle nodige faciliteiten Vriendelijk.

The property was spic and span. Good comfortable sleep. A small living area. Comfortable bed. It's absolutely value for money and we enojed the 1N stay here. Wifi was also good. The front office was not particularly frontly. May be language barrier. They had some issues with my card and double charged, but it got refunded eventually. So no worries. I would recommend the property for anyone visiting Cologne. Will workout out better than the Airbnb options avaialble.

I like the hotel but something isn't right here. I particularly like the staff. They were great. I didn't mind the location. If you like peace and quiet like I do, this is great. It's in a residential area, but close enough to shops, stores and public transportation to get around easily. But there's something fatally wrong with the hotel. My first night I took a shower; shower drain wasn't working, I was left with a lake--or an ocean, if you like--of non-draining water ALL OVER the bathroom floor. technician arrived the next day, replaced the drain. Day 2: turns out the refrigerator isn't working. I had bought a lot of food for refrigerator storage, so had to have the refrigerator replaced. Day 3: Turns out the replacement refrigerator had stopped working, and I had to throw out 50 euros worth of bad food. I check out tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I can't wait to leave this place and never return.

Pros include the comfortable bedding, the presence of a small balcony, and a small welcome gift (savory snack). As for the cons: - Location is undesirable unless you are there for Koelnmesse (the trade fair). It's in a residential area with nothing of interest there. Even had to walk quite a bit for a restaurant. - Despite being new to Marriott, this is neither a newly-built hotel nor a fully refurbished one. Bathroom was in less than stellar shape with noticable wear and tear. - Front desk was below average. Slow check-in. Points for the stay did not post correctly, either. Overall, wouldn't book again, there are sufficiently many better options in Cologne.
