Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

Easy: 5 min walk to Düsseldorf Central Station, then 22 min ICE straight to Köln Messe/Deutz. Door-to-door under 30 minutes – faster than many Cologne Airbnbs.

Yep! From €29 per person per night. And you don't just get a bed – you get a full gaming location with 5 high-end PCs, PS5, 75" TV and kitchen. The Cologne hotel room has... a bed.

Absolutely – it's basically mandatory! Geoff Keighley on the 75" TV with surround sound, your crew on the sofas, pizza in the oven. Better than any public viewing in Cologne.

The loft is exclusively yours. Merch, cosplay outfits, poster tubes, limited editions – everything stored safely. No locker stress at the convention.

Oh yeah! The Düsseldorf Altstadt (5 min away) has over 260 bars and pubs – including local Altbier instead of Kölsch. After-Gamescom drinks? More like after-Gamescom pub crawl.
