Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Budget Koeln Messe is frequently chosen for its proximity to the Messe, making it a convenient spot for fair attendees; some guests walk to FIBO trade Show in about 5 minutes. The family rooms, equipped with both a double bed and a bunk bed, often prove ideal for those traveling with children, although a few guests have mentioned the room size felt a bit small when traveling with luggage. Guests appreciate the ability to warm food in the microwave or get hot water from the breakfast area.

a very basic stay, nothing fancy

clean roomshower situationlack of kettle

the room was clean, i will give them that.

the shower situation was just bizarre. it was literally in the room, no real separation, so zero privacy. i also thought the lack of a kettle in the room was annoying, especially considering the price i paid.

The proximity to the fair was quite convenient. I found it to be within walking distance. The staff was helpful! they provided assistance when needed. The price was relatively low, compared to other options nearby.

The room I had, was very small. I also did not like the beds, they were too narrow, with a duvet cover that looked questionably clean. They also did not make the bed! nor did they change the towels during my two-night stay.
