Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Housed in a fabulous, uniquely converted water tower, the hotel is within walking distance of the city centre and close to Neumarkt and the Belgian quarter. Guests consistently praise the spacious, comfortable rooms, some even featuring a living room, along with great amenities such as complimentary water in the mini-fridge. The rooftop bar is a highlight for many, offering fine city views from one of Cologne's highest points, though some guests have noted that not all rooms match the arched brick window views shown in online photos. Secure underground bike parking is also available for those arriving with bicycles.
