We stayed in the Junior suite at this hotel and thought it was great. Lovely, big space. Nice shower. We used the gym and thought that was very good for a hotel gym. The breakfast was very nice with many good things you could order in addition to the buffet. We liked the location of the hotel- a little bit tucked away but still close to the city center. Would stay here again!

The experience on the whole was good. The building itself is fun and well-planned. Rooms were comfortable and interesting. Gym was excellent. 'Spa ' is a sauna. A nice sauna, but not a spa.

You don't stay in an old water tower every day, so that alone makes it special.

Fantastic hotel in central Cologne
The hotel building is beautiful and makes use of an old water tower. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious, and the beds were very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Karim who helped us check in and gave us information and recommendations. 10/10

We stayed here for business trip.(4-stops away from Köln Messe, very convenient.)
Breakfast was great. Very unique building, staffs were all helpful, quiet neighborhood.
Only tricky thing was that we had a few stairs just before the room and it was dark.(after lift)
Overall satisfying stay

Some good things, some bad
Overall, hotel was pretty nice. Some of the customer service was good, some not so much.
Room smelled of drains and after I notified the staff, they just sprayed the whole room with disinfectant, so it smelled like toilet cleaner instead.
Spa was nice. Room was cosy. Great views from the bar. But the price was a bit too much for the stay.

Lovely repurposed old water tower, and our room on the 9th floor had a great view up to the cathedral. The hotel isn’t in that great an area, but you can get into town on the metro stop (Post Strasse) almost next door. The interior of the building is interesting and you can get free tea/coffee/bottled water in the comfortable lounges downstairs. There is a bar on the top floor, but it was quite noisy, so not a peaceful place to enjoy the view!

Gorgeous old fortress type building with absolutely breathtaking rooftop bar. The rooms were modern. The staff, while dealing with a worldwide cybersecurity issue, were so patient and friendly despite clearly having a lot of additional stressors. There was delicious kolsch upon arrival with little snacks. Subway is about a 2 minute walk from the door. The hotel itself is set back very private and safe. For the pricepoint, I don't think there's any place in Koln that can beat this.

Amazing apart from smell.
Great hotel but for one significant issue. There is a very unpleasant and lingering smell of sewage in the hotel entrance from their car park which continues in the bathroom of our room on the 11th floor. Such a shame and hopefully just a temporary issue. Apart from that we would recommend it for its design, comfort, service, roof top bar, car park and location
