Beautiful hotel
Great stay in a world class Hilton property. My only complaint was their lack of free service on NYE for the guests. The parties were all sold out but luckily we made other plans for our celebrations!

You don't stay in an old water tower every day, so that alone makes it special.
Good spa, decent breakfast. Comfortable bed.

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.

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

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

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

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.
