wasserturm is a beautiful hotel with a great atmospere what we found negative: - fitness floor was being renovated without mention on website/booking or confirmation - no std EV charging, only with (German) adapter that’s not provided - access to tiefparking with security lights p/ floor is not always working - one out of two elevators was not working - elevator speed looks great in a care-home not a hotel - top bar has a great view but lacks design, comfort seats, sun protection - bar drinks are overpriced - we had a room on the 9th floor which was great in terms of bed, size and bathroom. unfortunately the room windows are a meter from the outside wall resulting in a lesser Köln inside out feeling
This hotel is very unique, with a circular configuration, so great views from all sides. If you are curious like me, you will enjoy exploring it. Pros: Wonderful staff very friendly Beautifully designed lounge areas to relax on ground floor Superb bar (with nice food) Wonderful breakfast Downsides: Brand new hotel so spa still under construction (I’m sure it will be worth the wait) Only showers are available, no baths (I was told by reception) Single guests are not able to use the sofas in the bar area. Pillows - extremely soft. There was a pillow menu but I didn’t know where to contact to get a replacement so I just put up with it. Overall - a great experience and I’ll definitely make this my hotel of choice in Cologne.
It just opened a few days ago after undergoing a renovation. Rooms that we had were spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly and always happy to help. Breakfast had a good selection of choices. It is certainly not your everyday kind of hotel as it is set in this old water tower which makes it stick out quite a bit - in a positive way. Downsides: Only one elevator was working at the time as the other wine was not ready yet and this along with the covid restrictions meant long waiting times or a “hike” up and down the 9 floors. You could tell that it was partly still undergoing some construction work but overall really enjoyed the stay.
