“Friends Koeln presents an interesting proposition: a modern design hotel that's both family-friendly and geared towards business travelers near Cologne's core; its proximity to the Cathedral is a definite plus. I like that the Amici restaurant provides a stylish dining option, and the 24/7 lounge makes it convenient, though be warned that parking can be tricky. Overall, it strikes me as a solid base for exploring Cologne, blending modern comforts with a central location.”
