My friend and I stayed here, separate rooms, and both had a great stay. The staff was all friendly and helpful. I do not speak German but the staff was happy to chat in English and Spanish. The location was great and easy to get around. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

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.

Had a wonderful stay at 18Arts this weekend. Fantastic cocept, lovely room and a comfortable bed. Radio playing chilled music on entry to our room. Not an issue for us but there is no step free access at this hotel.

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.

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 :)

8/10 Very good

The good things: Beautiful boutique hotel with art themed rooms which feels special & fun Convenient to tourist areas, but off the main busy areas, so it is quieter, & has a more residential feel with local bakeries and shops Convenient new high tech checkin from your phone & it works! Friendly, helpful staff Convenient local transport to gamescom Areas to improve to be excellent: Fridge in rooms, a must Breakfast on site a must Air-conditioning a must Complimentary vip wine unable to leave in room chilled because there is no room fridge. It was left behind reception so we didnt use it and it took the surprise away Overall a good stay, thank you 18arts hotel team

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.

6/10 Good

Room was good. Bed was hard and low to the ground. No closet or dresser. Had clothes everywhere by the end. You must have an iPhone or better to access the main door and your room door. No key cards or keys. No elevator which was ok except carrying luggage up 5 flights of stairs and that long walk up the stairs coming home at night. The staff was friendly and was able to check in 3 hrs early which was a great benefit. Did not receive the bottle of wine or an upgrade for gold level. Judge this as you may but the room and bathroom is separated only by a see thru glass wall. So make sure you and your roommate is comfortable pooping and showering in the open. Window looks out over a courtyard. The entire wall/window was floor to ceiling levered vertical blinds that didn’t work very well.

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

I've stayed at the 18Arts before and have always had a good experience. The location is perfect for my purposes in Cologne. This time I traveled with my partner, and the one drawback is the absence of a door on the toilet. It is a little awkward having to use the toilet in full view. There is also no refrigerator in the room, so if you have medicine that needs to be kept cold it's a problem. There is also no coffee machine and it is not great having to use the powdered packets (which always taste awful). There is a machine with coffee pods that is better in the reception, but it isn't always open and you don't always want to rush to shower and get dressed in order to get a coffee when you wake up. I received multiple emails from both the hotel and hotels.com to check in, which was confusing because it seemed like I had accidentally made multiple reservations. I also just prefer checking in at a reception desk. Checking in online ahead of time is a bit annoying when you're busy with other things while traveling.

best kept secret in Cologne!

A Great small boutique hotel in the heart of the city... just far enough away from/to Cologne Cathedral / HBF... Friendliest receptionists of much of my travels... early check in was no issue when room was ready... reception area is relaxed and 'arty' with nice touches like self service coffee, snacks and good magazines.. room was 'fab'.. away from direct sunlight made it cooler by day and night... the waterbed and shell surround is both dramatic but also very practical.. the room had comp water/tea and coffee, a tablet computer plus a tv with every channel any guest could need.. the Glass walled bathroom and shower was fresh, clean and had cool toiletries, towels etc.. design features of this single room include a very strong nautical theme which made it very very relaxing... check out was again smooth and prompt... Im sad i didn't have more time to stay but its location to local amenities (Babylons pool on hot days) and restaurants makes it perfect for a city break. and it really is an Art Hotel... not just in name...
