  • The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to score a cheaper rate on a Cologne hotel and have a wider range of choice when you plan ahead.

  • Another hack for cheaper hotels? Being flexible. If your plans aren't written in stone, change up your travel dates and discover just how much you can save.

  • Book without the worry by searching for stays that offer free cancellation. If things change or a better offer shows up, you can cancel without penalty.

A few rules might apply, but most places go the extra mile to make your furry friend feel at home.
