After the fair I return to the routine! I would like to thanks you to advise us the Maritim Hotel Koln. During our stay in Koln we enjoy the accomodation in this hotel near to the fair, near to the center, beautiful, good service, nice rooms very spacious and clean, fantastic buffet, restaurant Skyline really charming and with a high-quality food... Everything very well. It's sure for the next 2017 Interzum fair I'll contact you and I don't book now because I don't know for the moment the dates! ha, ha, ha! Thanks a lot for your always support and collaboration and I'll work with you again. Sure!

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.
