Newryrep, 4 of us and at least another pair one of whom dress up as a leipreachan and the other green shiny hair :confused: are staying in the Rodina Hotel. Our 4 lux single single rooms are €51 per night room (the hotel have confirmed that the rooms have air conditioning). I booked it through www.hotelclub.netQuote:

any ideas on the best areas there are (looking something close to the nite life)
Thanks anyway AidoM, spent a couple of hours looking and ended up booking in Hotel des Fleur as a bit of luxury. Fri - Mon. Me and Mrs Newryrep tend to go city centre if possible to avoid taxi's/public transport in and out, prefer to walk.Quote:

We are just banking (poor choice of word) on the economy showing signs of coming out of recession by June....otherwise we might have to re-think and book in to that "Rabble Hotel":eek:Quote:

As well you, and everybody knows at least four fifths of all available luggage space is taken up by a female travelling companion requirements due to alternative going out scenarios, alternative weather scenarios, alternative accessorise scenarios - i barely have room for a tootbrush.Quote:

Cheers lad. Just did the same. Stayin Friday & Saturday nights. €53 per night for an appartment that fits at least 4 & thats before anyone kips on the sofa/ floor/ bath. Sweet. Seems central enough. All the trams are free in these former Eastern Bloc cities as far as I can tell so we're laughing for our trips to the centre down Boulevard Tsarigradsko Shossee.Quote:

Hotel Rotasar
Place should be ok as was recommended to me by someone who already stayed there.
Just booked
Thur 4th June Germanwings Dub 12.15 - Koln 15.15 - E62
Fri 5th June Germanwings Koln 13.35 - Sof 17.10
Mon 8th June Germanwings Sof 15.55 - Koln 17.40 - E145
Mon 8th June Aer Lingus Dusseldorf 21.10 - Dub 22.00 E90
Train Koln airport to dusseldorf airport E20
Total E317 excl hotels
Bit costlier that I first thought but the flight times are pretty convienient - no early starts/late arrivals bar arriving home.
Cologne is supposed to be nice and airport only 15 min from town.
I was in Cologne earlier in the year and it is a great city with some top pubs. They just keep bringing you beer until you tell them to stop - dangerous or what! Enjoy and keep an eye out for the beer bike:)Quote:

think we stayed in a hotel called the four points hotel. it was only about 75e and is right beside the train station.
