Wasserturm Hotel Cologne Curio Collection by Hilton

Superb

Liked: Stunning unique building, beautifully converted into the hotel. Great rooftop bar with 360 degree views of Cologne. Spacious rooms with many windows and a view.
Disliked: Very loud fan in the en suite which can’t be turned off.

Exceptional

Such a Unique, Fun Hotel

Liked: Fabulous building. Great location. Loved the rooftop bar. The public pool nearby was fun. Very secure underground bike parking in their garage. Incredibly quiet, dark, comfortable room. Good shower.
Disliked: The lighting was very dim in the room.

Wonderful hotel with great breakfasts

Liked: Amazing conversion of the tower. Lovely room on the 10th floor overlooking the city. Air con was not working but an engineer arrived quickly and managed to sort out the issue. The breakfasts were amazing with individual meals cooked to order. The apple crumble French toast was a favourite. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Certainly worth seeking this hotel out.

I expected much more from...

Liked: This hotel is in one of the best locations for anyone wanting to visit Cologne. It’s close to everything—you can reach almost any place you want within 15 minutes.The staff was absolutely polite and helpful. I would give them 5 stars.
Disliked: The most important issue was with the shower—the hot water kept switching between hot and cold every minute, which was very uncomfortable.Also, the photos shown when booking the room are random. For example, if you see a photo with an arched brick window view, it doesn’t mean your room will have it. You need to specifically request that type of room, which is not ideal.Our room had a patio, but the door to it was locked and we had no access. There wasn’t even a window we could open to let in some fresh air.The flat-screen TV was quite outdated. These days, TVs should at least support features like screen mirroring or apps like Netflix and YouTube. This is especially disappointing considering it’s one of the most expensive hotels in Cologne.The iron and ironing board were also in poor condition.

Liked: Unique building and renovation, with clean and stylish decor. The structure alone will make this a memorable stay.
Disliked: Immediate neighborhood made walking downtown unpleasant. Room felt small for the price. Breakfast was very expensive…many options at the buffet, but one can only eat so much!!
