to get started.

The room we had was very grand: we had a mezzanine room with a wonderful bathroom and a great space. The building itself is crazy, very cool idea to convert a water tower! Also good location near town and the river.

It’s great architecture a really special atmosphere.

Thomas, Switzerland

The hotel was great, staff was friendly, location was great since it was close to the train station.

Elvira, United States of America

Room size was great; breakfast was very good. Parking is wunderbar but ramp in and out of garage is a little scary - can’t see if another car is coming st you!

Thomas, United States of America

The decor of the room was modern and clean. The shower was full-pressured and fantastic. Location was good, near a subway stop, but was otherwise not near much else.

Ralph, United States of America

The property is very unique and has a great view from the rooftop

Morgan, United States of America

The building is quite unusual and somewhat interesting to look at.

The property is in a beautiful building in the centre of cologne.

This hotel was years ago a great spot. Now it’s overused. The room service is also not good. It’s a shame because it’s a great building. The staff was helpful, the best part of it.

The "Brick Lounge", the reopened classic hotel bar on the ground floor with a terrace, offers drinks and food everyday from 5pm until midnight.

The Hotel im Wasserturm is located less than 1.2 mi from Cologne Train Station and a 10-minute walk from the banks of the River Rhine. On-site parking is available.

“Lovely hotel, but could be amazing”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
A bit disappointed there was no restaurant, only bar food. This was okay, but limited. Also there was no kettle in the room for coffee. There was a coffee machine in the lobby for one day, but it was gone the next. There was also no access to the roof terrace for our entire stay, with no explanation why....as this is a big selling point, I would check for any closures before booking.
The hotel and staff were excellent. They were great in English and even helped arrange our emmissions sticker for our English car. The location was unexpected, but good...only a 10 minute drive from the centre of Cologne.

“Cool hotel but faulty aircon leading to poor nights' sleep!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Maisonette Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The aircon in the room didn't work so it was absolutely baking!! My partner had to get up in the night to have a cold shower and I was madly trying to get some sort of draft into the room so we both had restless and uncomfortable nights' sleep. The decor was also a bit dated in our room. Finally, the upstairs restaurant was closed for refurb so we ate in the slightly dingy lounge bit downstairs which was a bit disappointing.

A central room power supply operated by room card system would be nice instead of operating all lights manually.
Great location in the center of the city and in close proximity to public pool. Public transportation very close by. Nice room with an excellent view over Cologne. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.

“Pretty good”

- • Stayed 3 nights

Although grateful for the aircon, it struggled and it wasn’t able to get below 24° which was a bit warmer than we would have liked. But they gave us a fan and also the windows opened so not really a deal-breaker
We liked the unusual design of an old water tower renovated into a hotel, nestled into a side street a little bit out of town but still within walking distance or a tram ride of attractions. The 360° view of Cologne from the top is a bonus. Upon arrival our room was changed to give us one with aircon as it was quite hot.

“Very interesting property let down by not delivering on its promises.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Maisonette Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Very disappointed that neither the restaurant or rooftop bar were not open which was one of the main reasons we booked the hotel. We were told that ownership of the property was changing and that is why some of the facilities were not available. It felt like half the hotel had been abandoned and access to the best areas was restricted.. We did have our rooms upgraded as a compromise, however we left the hotel really quite disappointed compared to our expectations. This could be a fantastic place if the new owners maximise its potential.
Very interesting property with amazing views and lovely modern comfortable rooms. Friendly Receptionists Onsite underground parking

No aircon!! Huge rooms. We got a two level room, which you first think is cool. But the room arrangement is so stupid that we never entered two of our four rooms. To switch off the light everywhere you have to run all over the place to find all the switches. The rooms are a bit worn. Limescale on all taps and shower so the water is sprayed all over you. Room design is from the 90s. Sofa in the living roomis very uncomfortable. The breakfast price of 20 euro is way too much.
Great location in the center of the city. Huge rooms with two bathrooms. Nice rooftop terrace. Very friendly personnel. Convenient parking lot.
