This was my first stay at a Curio Collection hotel, and it exceeded expectations! While the property isn’t right next to the Cathedral, it’s conveniently located near a metro station (lines 16 and 18) with a lift that takes you straight to street level. We stayed in a suite that was incredibly spacious—over 500 sqft—and absolutely spotless. The sauna was a nice touch, though it closes at 10 pm. Breakfast was a highlight: instead of the usual made-to-order omelette station found in other Hilton hotels, there were freshly cooked items to choose from. My Apple French toast was sensational! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the thoughtful Christmas sweets at reception added a festive touch. Overall, a fantastic stay with great service and comfort. Highly recommend!

First impression was poor: went into the washroom, opened the lid and found urine in the toilet. Our room was over 25 degrees Celsius and no matter how much we tried to adjust thermostat, it stayed impossibly hot. Then there were the multiple mystery charges that started to appear on my credit card. Breakfast was great though.

Hotel is located in a historic water tower and it has a lot of charm. It’s been renovated very thoughtfully and I appreciate the touches of working in the water tower theme in the decor. Breakfast has a great selection, there are hot and cold buffet items as well as à la carte options. I visited the Bar Botanik a couple times and had great drinks. All of the staff was wonderful and very helpful. I was in a Duplex Suite which was an upgrade with my Hilton Status. Space was just right, mini bar items, coffee and tea were included. My only two gripes with the room were that the bathroom was on the main level and none on the loft in the bedroom. The room stayed a bit warm during my stay and I could not adjust the air conditioner to a lower temperature, it was a bit uncomfortable sleeping in the loft with all of the warm air rising from the lower level. The only other complaint that I could have are the lifts, there’s 2 for a 13 story building but they are configured quite right each only has one call button and you cannot specify up or down when you call it so they are a bit of a wait. Besides those small things, I had a great 3 night stay here.

One of the most unique hotels I have ever been to. I absolutely loved the interior. I think the staff must have mistaken me for someone else when I checked in, since when they pulled up my reservation, their eyes got big and I was upgraded to a duplex suite. It was a lovely suite, regardless of the severely scuffed and scratched walls. Breakfast was pretty good.

I enjoyed my stay at this unique hotel in Cologne. I've got an upgrade to a Tower Duplex Junior Suite for only 14 EUR per night. The breakfast was pretty good and the staff were really helpful and polite. The gym was also very well equipped, and there is a nice spa which I couldn't use unfortunately! The vicinity to the public transport and the city center makes it a great option. Highly recommended!
