Great hotel but for one significant issue. There is a very unpleasant and lingering smell of sewage in the hotel entrance from their car park which continues in the bathroom of our room on the 11th floor. Such a shame and hopefully just a temporary issue. Apart from that we would recommend it for its design, comfort, service, roof top bar, car park and location

I booked a three-night business stay at the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection by Hilton, through Expedia and paid in full. I was drawn to the hotel's unique design but unfortunately checked out early on the second day. Here are the pros and cons of my experience:
Pros:
- Very Impressive design of the building
- Friendly staff at breakfast
- Beautiful Nice open-air garden area
Cons:
1. Upon arrival at 10:00 pm after a long day, the receptionist checked us in hastily without providing information about amenities like the free mini-bar or open-air garden.
2. The room lacked business amenities such as shoe polish, toothpaste, and shaving cream.
3. The bed mattresses were worn out and should be replaced, although the pillows were comfortable.
4. The air conditioning did not work effectively.
5. Lack of ventilation in the room led to a musty smell.
6. The bed sheets were soiled and stained.
7- lights in the room are very dim particularly at night.
In conclusion, as a business traveler, I do not recommend this hotel. Despite the positive aspects, the overall experience was disappointing, and I chose to leave prematurely. Unfortunately, I was charged for the full three-night stay as I had already paid upfront.

Gorgeous old fortress type building with absolutely breathtaking rooftop bar. The rooms were modern. The staff, while dealing with a worldwide cybersecurity issue, were so patient and friendly despite clearly having a lot of additional stressors. There was delicious kolsch upon arrival with little snacks. Subway is about a 2 minute walk from the door. The hotel itself is set back very private and safe. For the pricepoint, I don't think there's any place in Koln that can beat this.

We stayed here for business trip.(4-stops away from Köln Messe, very convenient.)
Breakfast was great. Very unique building, staffs were all helpful, quiet neighborhood.
Only tricky thing was that we had a few stairs just before the room and it was dark.(after lift)
Overall satisfying stay

The hotel was fabulous and the staff so attentive. They realized it was my birthday from my passport and brought me cookies and a card and offered us free breakfast. I would absolutely stay there again.

Our second time in the hotel. Still really interesting hotel and the roof top bar is great. The only thing is we had a room where a bed was upstairs (up the smallish metal spiral staircase). I'm sure younglings would think it an amazing room but for middle-aged or older people with mobility issues kinda unpleasant. So make sure to let them know when booking.

Air conditioning was broken in first room (not cooling below 24.3C) and if you opened the door all rooms in that floor could access your room because there are no divisions in the balconies. The fridge did not work either, the solution was to take it out of the furniture and put it in the middle of an already small room. Did get moved on the third day to a similar room with working ac for one night, the second night it did not cool below 22 C. While in the city not much attractive in close vecinity. Bar upstairs was nice on the other hand.

Lovely repurposed old water tower, and our room on the 9th floor had a great view up to the cathedral. The hotel isn’t in that great an area, but you can get into town on the metro stop (Post Strasse) almost next door. The interior of the building is interesting and you can get free tea/coffee/bottled water in the comfortable lounges downstairs. There is a bar on the top floor, but it was quite noisy, so not a peaceful place to enjoy the view!

Just want to say thank you to Arthur for his help in finding another room, if a smaller one, for us at 1:00 a.m. because the AC did not work in the bedroom part of the originally booked Junior Suite.

The room was ridiculously hot and they couldn't turn the heating down. The shower went from hot to cold every few seconds. They told us breakfast was until 11am which was Sunday's only so we missed Monday. Area was a bit sketchy.

The water tower's been beautifully redesigned into a hotel. Rooms and beds are super comfortable.The roof top bar is excellent. Can't wait to stay here again!

They had a wedding and the hole hotel was jammed. Because of that the elevators were too busy and the roof bar was not operative This is a boutique hotel and the hole experienca was ruined

Overall Wasserturn is an impressive building and the rooms are modern and clean.
However our bathroom had a plumbing issue and despite repeated requests it wasn’t fixed during our stay, nor was an alternative option offered. Considering the prices are in the region luxury I would’ve expected a lot more.
Also service in the Botanix bar was really poor, which was really disappointing given that this was a special birthday we were celebrating.
