Lock in a great price for Hotel im Wasserturm – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Friendly staff, nice lobby, fantastic concept and location .

Eric, Belgium

Very pretty building with LARGE rooms , If you are working at the Messe fairground you can take the tram train from Postfach ,just 100 metres from the hotel on tram route 3 or 4 ,just 4 stops direct to the Messe just ( 1.90 euros)

Murray, Spain

Interesting design and architecture. Good location. Friendly staff.

Cristian, Germany

The hotel building was lovely and quirky. The staff and service were fantastic.

Rachel, United Kingdom

If you want to visit Köln, book this hotel. Walking distance from the old town and if you don’t want to walk: the tram is nearby. The rooms are very comfortable, the beds are great. The staff is helpfull and very friendly. And the view from this former watertower is splendid. Breakfast is not inclused but can be recommanded. You feel like a VIP and are eating the best of the best.

Charlotte, Netherlands

The great views from the room. Comfortable bed. Great bedroom once we changed. Very good service in snack bar with lovely outside terrace where we enjoyed food and drinks.

Brian, United Kingdom

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.

Hans, United States of America

Stunning building and superb room. Don't come here if you like right-angles in your surroundings! Onsite parking is a big bonus but it fills up quickly. Over the other side of the road is a largely indoor waterpark - this looked very tempting on a 30+ centigrade day!

Steve, United Kingdom

Unique property. Stayed there many years ago after it opened. Still something special. Also underground car park is very convenient.

Karin, United Kingdom

It's a big and spacious suite and the hotel interior is quite nice.

This is a converted historic water tower in the center of Cologne's Old Town.

The elegant rooms decorated in a modern-style at the Hotel im Wasserturm feature satellite TV, handheld room control devices and a private bathroom with free toiletries. The hotel interior offers a unique glass, wood and brick design.

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.

Altstadt-Sued is a great choice for travelers interested in Christmas markets, food and shopping.

This is our guests' favorite part of Cologne, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

눉SO SO HOT in my room NO AIRCON and only 1 tiny window , I stayed in Sept so it was NOT hot outside at night BUT the room was still super hot even at night . DON'T Stay here in July or August unless you pick a room on the 8-10 floors which all have aircon . reception couldn't help with the hot room problem ,They all ready know it's a big problem as the Building is ROMAN and the walls are 1 metre thick . Hotel is located 15 mins outside of centre of town so a bit of a walk , Don`t try walking to the HOTEL from the Train station with a suitcase its too far and roads are mostly cobbled ,Take a Taxi . Or get Tram Train to POSTFACH station .It's very close to the Hotel
눇Very pretty building with LARGE rooms , If you are working at the Messe fairground you can take the tram train from Postfach ,just 100 metres from the hotel on tram route 3 or 4 ,just 4 stops direct to the Messe just ( 1.90 euros)

눉Unbearable during summer, rooms are way to hot and have no AC. Parking was 25 Euros per day, out of any range. Absolutely no extras in these expensive rooms. We had a Maisonette room but not even slippers, an iron or sufficient water was provided. Shower also did not work properly.
눇Beautiful old building in a perfect location. Good staff. Skylounge is nice and provides a good perspective on Cologne.
