Novum Hotel Silence Garden Köln Brück

We've stayed in this hotel twice now, once for 2 nights, and most recently, 5 nights. Whilst only 3 stars, it has everything you need for a casual stay in Germany. The room comes equipped with a TV, kettle/coffee and a shower pressure to die for! Parking is unfortunately limited, so you might struggle to find a spot late in the evening during busy periods. The surrounding area is quiet, and you could probably park in the vicinity without worry. The hotel staff are super friendly. Hotel rooms are cleaned daily and we have no complaints about cleanliness. Breakfasts are typical German, plenty of meats, cheeses and brötchen. Brück is a really nice turn with plenty of options for food (we recommend Holi and La Vecchia Trattoria). Whenever we next return to Cologne, we'll look at staying here again.

Our room only had decaff coffee and no milk.

The surroundings are very quiet, close to a huge forest where you can go walking for hours or just relax. Koeln center is a 15 minutes ride by tram n.1 and to reach the Bruck-Mausfeld tram stop is just another easy 10 minutes walk. Breakfast was good with a big choice of food. Room was quite big (I had a single bed room) and clean. Receptionist and other employees were efficient and kind. Price/quality: excellent. Bravo!

Rooms forniture is dated but anyway the bed was very confortable. Bathroom might need some updating, but anyway it was spotless clean. Probably in the past it was a four star hotel… now I wouldn t give it more than 3 stars.

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast covered the things I care about (keto) as it had deli meats, some veg, hardboiled eggs, cheeses and most important COFFEE. Oh, and the bonus was petting hotel cat in the morning!

For the room, the TV didn't work and the shower was slightly awkward (in the single room at least). Was woken up early on Saturday morning by construction work next door. Parking is very limited, you need to get in early to get a spot since there's not designated spots and people leave big gaps. The breakfast room is small and gets crowded and a bit chaotic as the hotel wakes up and comes down for breakfast.

I was about to cancel the reservation after I have read the comments here. I am happy I didn't do it! Probably people who rate bad this hotel they really didn't travel much in their lives. Now about the hotel: Indeed the furniture and doors are not new, but you can live without that or please choose another hotel. The rooms and bathroom were CLEAN. Old but clean. The sheets and towels were clean as well. No dust in the room. Someone in a review said they saw a bug in the bathroom. I have seen a small silverfish and nothing else, so probably that was about. The heating was working. The bed was really comfortable! Nobody entered in our room in all 3 days because we always left the do not disturb note outside on the door knob. Nobody was asking or pushing us to go out at an earlier time and we left at 12:00. There is a kettle, tea, instant coffee in the room. I was afraid for the noise but actually there was none, it was really silent (I was worried about noise as I have issues with my sleep). The Wifi was functional all the 3 days (we had the room at 1st floor)! The breakfast has everything you need and the food is fresh. There are boiled eggs, cheese and sliced meats, vegetables, cereals, yogurts, fruits, fresh buns. Coffee, tea, etc. When you don't find parking, no problem, all the small streets around have enough space and it's free. The distance to the city center is 19km and you are there in 15-20 min by car.

All the towels in the room were for face/hands (same dimension all of them).

The hotel was clean, tided up, nicely decorated. The elevator worked. The breakfast was really good, nicely put and the staff was really friendly and patient. Always ready to help you! Our room was clean, comfortable, cosy. There was a coffe machine, sugar, coffee and tea. It was easy to go to the city center by transport.

We wanted to change the towels, the cups and the glasses, but they did it a bit late. It wasn't always easy to stop the water from falling off the bath when showering. We had to wash ourselves with the water facing the wall to avoid small floods. If we wanted to drink coffee, we had to boil water with an open cap to avoid having coffee getting out of the machine alone.

it was located in a nice quite area, only 10 mins walk from the train station.. Staff very helpful, and break team where fabulous as soon as you enter offered a fresh mug of coffee..

I stayed when the weather was at its hottest period and no fan or fresh cold water in the room, Only sparkling. However the kitchen staff was excellent and offered to fill my water bottle for me in the mornings.

Friendly staff, very clean, lovely continental breakfast When there were issues with our corset room they moved us without question

Very warm no air on (they did give us a fan)! Rooms are quite small When they cleaned our rooms they didn’t refresh the glasses at all

No real problems, bed comfortable, Wi-Fi very good, heating working as it should, the room and the bathroom clean and spacious enough, breakfast simple but nutritious, good location, in short, everything as advertised and highly recommended.

No real problems.

Easy Location for getting into Cologne. Parking available and low cost at 4euro per night. Rooms clean and comfortable Small but perfectly nice breakfast and lovely helpful staff. 24/7 bar was.a bonus.

Could have done with an extra pillow as 1 wasn't enough.

Nice comfy hotel, clean, breakfast menu was varied. Had difficulty finding the hotel. Not easy to find from motorway if passing through.

Had to pay for parking on top of hotel booking. However car park was full and had difficulty in parking around the area.
