The Water Tower Hotel is a very unique Hotel. I had a dual floor room that was connected via a spiral staircase. Bed was very comfortable. Big Window to look out of from the lower floor.

This was my second stay here and it is now my first choice of hotel in Cologne. Comfortable room with an amazing view of Cologne, great service, fairly priced. The barman Felix makes a good Negroni and we had a nice chat. The restaurant on the top floor is excellent.

Very nice concept. Feels very luxurious and looks very good. The food was very good.

Close to city center. Nice views from top floor and restaurant over the city.

The choice they made to propose also a lighter breakfast instead of the full breakfast buffet is rather nice

What Travelers Love About This Location

“The hotel is located in a converted stone water tower. Rooms are elegant with a bedroom upstairs and a full living room and dining area downstairs. It was a unique store experience in a luxury hotel. We would recommend it highly to anyone, especially when compared with conventional luxury hotels without the historic atmosphere. The circular shape of the room with a Normas two-story windows was also fascinating.”

눉The hotels been taken over and we were a little disappointed that some of the facilities advertised were not available. No 11th floor restaurant, no room service or in room information, no bath robes , safe in the room not working . Apart from all that its a lovely quirky hotel with great views
눇The building, the old water tower . The architecture is stunning and the views . The balcony off our room on the 8 th floor was lovely

Disappointing

눉Weird shape, location far from anything interesting, minibar empty. Went to internal bar coffee shop. Went three times to front desk to ask for service (as basic as to please open door to outside garden). Three of them were there... no other guests in sight. No one did anything... they just stayed there. Asked to talk to manager... nothing. I think this hotel is poorly run and in general (there are exceptions) staff is poorly trained. Hard to explain in a review but basically if you are going to Cologne there are better options. I was in a hurry but I made a mistake... I do not recommend this property
눇Property was very clean and two of the staff were ok

눉Only one minor issue based on both experiences here: the check out process is a bit slow and needs to be made more efficient somehow. On both visits there has been a queue at reception with people checking out at the same time - not ideal when you have a train to catch!
눇This was my second stay here and it is now my first choice of hotel in Cologne. Comfortable room with an amazing view of Cologne, great service, fairly priced. The barman Felix makes a good Negroni and we had a nice chat. The restaurant on the top floor is excellent.
