A stunning piece of architecture, an old water tower imaginitively restored into a 5* hotel and retaining the original structure. Having said that is this a 5* hotel? definitely not. The public areas are outstanding in this unique style with lots of original brickwork from its former years but the bedrooms are tired and need an update particularly the bathrooms... More

Visited this "5 star" hotel during a trade fair in Cologne. As always, photos make the hotel look great, and on arrival the unique design does impress. reception is very smart and staff very polite. We were given a tour round the circular ground floor in order to get our barings of what is where - all very positive. When... More

We stayed at Hotel Im Wasserturm when visiting for the Christmas Markets and I really did like it. It's beautiful, with amazing arches and brick hallways, and great panoramic views of the city. I love that every time I walked in I felt like there was something new to see in the hotel. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, as... More

We stayed for a few days here and thought the building was very niclely restored. The architechture was creative and the rooms comfortable and well laid out. The temperature in the room cannot be controlled individually and they could not seem to get it cool enough for us. In November we had fans on and windows open to be cool... More

Unusual hotel. One of the small luxury hotels of the world. Elegantly furnished, very comfortable & the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choice with healthy options! More

I'd chosen this hotel as part of a package through the Koelnmesse: my teenage son was attending the gamescom convention and I wanted to feel secure, comfortable and well situated whilst alone during the day and whilst out and about as mother and son in the evening. It is not an attractive area, even if only a ten-minute walk away... More

This was my second stay at this hotel. This time, I had a room on a lower floor. It was still a decent room with a comforting atmosphere, although the rooms on 8th floor are a whole class better. The service was excellent though and fully lived up to 5 star standard. The sauna was great and the breakfast by... More

Excellent hotel, with great rooms and well equipped bathrooms. Had a fabulous massage, which was organized within the hour. Breakfast is just great and their service is top notch! Stayed there for the fouten time over the years, and will be back. More

What an amazing experience. Stunning architecture, so full of character, history and ingenuity, a superb and efficient welcome from the staff - plus an upgrade to a simply wonderful suite, complete with an endorsement from Brad Pitt who stayed here. We ate at La Vision, michelin starred panoramic retaurant on the top floor. It was one of the finest meals... More
