Nice, safe hotel near Cologne train station or near a car rental place outside the station?

Although we're staying in apartments for the rest of our trip, I just realized we will need to stay in a hotel for one night in August.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a medium-priced hotel either near the station or somewhere near a car rental agency? I've been reading that picking up cars at the airport or train station is more expensive so it would be okay to find a place that is not necessarily near the station if there's a car rental place nearby.

Thank you!

I was going to recommend the same hotel! We have stayed at the Coellner Hof twice and have only wonderful things to say about it.
(I was one of those people who wrote a great review on Trip Advisor)
It is about a 10 min. walk from the main station.

Just outside the door of the station, tun right (I think there is also a direct door into the station) is an Ibis. What a view - directly overlooking the Dom and its two towers.

I also suggest staying at the Ibis in the train station .Handy and nice place.
