We want to go back!
Very nice hotel. We loved it and miss now that we are in another hotel with a much lower standard and much higher costs!
The breakfast restaurant is heavenly!

Loved the hotel, relatively easy parking for Cologne. Walking distance to everything downtown. Free GOOD Coffee 24/7, which is basically the most important need I have. If there’s one thing, the elevators are a little suspect😅. But that’s probably due to retrofitting them into an antique building. I will be staying there again next year when I come back.

Die besondere Architektur hat uns sehr zugesagt.
Die Bar auf dem Dach hat ebenfalls sehr gefallen.
Spa und Sauna sind klein aber fein. Die Sauberkeit im gesamten Hotel ist uns ebenfalls aufgefallen.
Ein toller Hotelbesuch für uns. Dankeschön.

Vi havde et fint ophold på et hotel med en praktisk og central beliggenhed. Værelset var pænt indrettet, og sengene var meget komfortable, hvilket gav os en god nattesøvn.
Morgenmaden kunne dog have været bedre – udvalget var en smule sparsomt og ikke særligt inspirerende. Det trak lidt ned, men alt i alt levede hotellet op til vores forventninger.
Et særligt højdepunkt var baren på toppen, som absolut er et besøg værd – fantastisk udsigt og god stemning.

Tout était parfait sauf les ascenseurs. À cause du bar qui semble être très populaire en ville, il y avait beaucoup de monde qui voyageait et c’était loin d’être efficace. Un ascenseur dédié au bar devrait être installé et un autre juste pour les clients de l’hôtel. Sinon, tout le reste était parfait.

You don't stay in an old water tower every day, so that alone makes it special.

Interessantes Hotel mit gutem Standard. Die Zimmer sind jedoch etwas klein für die Preiskategorie, die Fenstermechanik ist seltsam, aber die Rooftopbar, wie auch der Spabereich ist ein ganz grosses Plus.
