The New Yorker Hotel Köln-Messe is located in a really funky, awesome part of Köln, and it is not well-populated. However, it is walking distance from some wonderful restaurants, grocery stores (ex. Rewe), and the fantastic Café Jakubowski. My partner and I stayed in the Gramercy junior suite, and the actual suite was MUCH better in real life than how it is presented in the pictures! There was a kitchenette, a living space, a separate sleeping space, a nice balcony overlooking a courtyard, and a spacious bathroom. The apartment can be improved by: offering a selection of tea bags and coffee options, including a basic pot and pan for the kitchenette, having a small trash can near the kitchenette, adding more hanging space in the bathroom (there is only 1 hook and the radiator, but 5 more hooks can be easily added, as well as some hooks to hang smaller towels by the sink), and offering two bottles of water instead of one with two glasses. With these small, easy improvements, this hotel will go from excellent to AMAZING! However, I look forward to staying here again. Thank you!
