Lovely place
Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Good quality bedding and the shower was powerful. Easy to get to from the Ubahn too. Room was super quiet and some nice little free bits and bobs offered too.

Arty rooms & great service in the heart of Cologne
Such a beautiful place to stay. The service was excellent and the staff very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and we loved the individuality of each artist designed room. I'd definitely recommend this hotel, we loved it.

Good
The location of the 18 Arts Hotel is convenient, but it has some real issues. The biggest one is that this place has no elevator. It is really difficult to bring luggage up the stairs. And there are issues with privacy, as the rooms that I was in each had a bathroom with transparent glass walls. If you're traveling with someone who's not your partner, you may want to stay somewhere else.
JUSTIN MARC, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great hotel with even better staff!
Apart from our room being quite spectacular (we had the Steve McQueen room), all the other themed rooms also looks amazing. The room was well appointed with all amenities (including a hair dryer AND hair straightener) and cozy. There was a bit of noise from the street below but nothing major. It should be noted that the shower has a glass wall to the bedroom which may not be suitable for everyone. The location is perfect and is a quick jaunt to the S-Bahn and also the Cathedral. Finally, what really makes this place standout is the staff - we had the pleasure of meeting 3 of the staff and all were helpful with recommendations and accommodating any requests.
Darren, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My friend and I stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The room was super cute and we loved how there was a story available telling us the history of the pieces/design of the room. However, the shower/bathroom was completely visible from the bed, so make sure you room with someone you are very comfortable with if you stay here.

8/10 Very good

I was expecting a room with interesting art and got the "crime scene room".l all in white.
Jeanine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A really nice small hotel in central Cologne with very individually designed rooms. Very unique. And very friendly staff. Just be aware that the hotel is close to a street with lots of bars and depending on where the room is facing you might hear the noisy crowds in the night.
Andre, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Each room of the hotel has a different theme. We had the street art room. It was nice and fun to stay in a non generic room.
Jerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Functional rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.
Eric, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was noisy, no hot water, glass bathroom is ridiculous and noone replied to our email inquiry for parking. Noone to speak to afterhours, said it at check out and didn't make a difference

In the middle of the center of cologne.
Roland, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A bit quirky but comfortable room - only negative was the lack of aircon on a very hot night. Would come back though, but maybe not in the summer.

10/10 Exceptional

The stay was really convenient. The check in was smooth and I got all the needed information. The check out process as well, the room perfectly clean, with all cosmetics needed. It is really well connected with the different areas of the city and supermarkets. Special regards to the Polish receptionist :)

6/10 Good

The hotel staffs are very nice but the hotel room was in poor condition. Very tiny room, uncomfortable bed and loud neighborhood. There is no AC in the rooms and no elevator in the hotel.

Interesting hotel! We were there 3 nights in a heatwave so lack of ac was noticeable but fans provided. There was not enough storage for cloths luggage. But location great. Staff excellent friendly and helpful and source of great advice for where to eat etc.

4/10 Fair

The good: The staff were quite friendly and the area around the hotel was walkable, many of the sites were within a 20-30 minute walk. The bad: The room was ok, it was quite dusty, and the layout wasn't the best. The room we had was right by the main stairwell which was ridiculously noisy, the door to get in the hotel has a loud buzzer when someone opens ot which made sleeping impossible. The room was right above a bar, so that extra noise didn't help the cause either. The amenities were ok, but nothing great. Instead of a bottle of sparkling wine, we got to single serve bottles instead. Overall, the price to performance was not up to par. The noise prevented us from sleeping, and the room was quite dusty.

Cool place, good vibes!
It was 32 degrees outside so way too hot, but eventhough no airco was present, the room was provided with a fan. Kettle and mugs free for use, cold water as much as we wanted. Very very kind staff, clean and original room and superb location for a city trip, smack in the middle of The Belgian Quarter so a galore of clubs and restaurants within walking distance, and no noise pollution in the room at night due to well isolated room.
