I've heard such rave reviews about this hotel from my German colleagues. From what I was told, it is *the* hotel in which to stay in Cologne. The hotel structure is incredible, and the public spaces live up to that expectation. However the rooms, while very big, are really nothing special. Particularly frustrating were the design elements of the room... more

As four couples doing a short tour of europe in sports cars we booked this hotel. On arrival we were greeted by the reception staff who offered to park our vechicles in there underground carpark at a cost of 25 euros per night. Being some expensive metal we were a little wary of letting the staff park the cars but... more

The 'Watertower' hotel is a real gem in Cologne. Situated a short walk from the main centre, it is a glorious landmark and converted wonderfully into a top-spec hotel. The rooms (we had a junior suite) are gorgeous, on two levels (the bedroom on the mezzanine) and with amazing HUGE windows and two bathrooms. The decor is modern without feeling... more

This hotel is well located, very comfortable and the staff are helpful, polite and accomodating. The views are terrific. The bathrooms are phenomenal. The complimentary breakfast is beyond the beyond, served in a huge, but elegant room in a copious display of seafood, cereals and whatever else you could possibly want. My only complaint is that they wanted to charge... more

We stayed at Im Wasserturm with Great Rail Journeys (fantastic company!) to visit the Christmas markets. The hotel was superb, quirky in design but a great use of a marvellous local feature of Cologne. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, breakfast was excellent and we treated ourselves to dinner in La Vision the michelin star restauraunt , which... more

I have stayed here a couple of times and I really want to like the hotel. After all, a derelict water tower has been thoughtfully and skilfully turned in to an hotel with some style. However, despite booking a junior suite on my last visit I still spent three nights in a small and claustrophobic room with a tiny bathroom.... more

This is probably the most unique hotel in Cologne. It is located in a quiet residential district only about five to 10 minutes walk from the main shopping areas. The hotel itself is within a historic water tower. I rented a duplex room (split over two floors). Everything was of a high standard, comfortable and very quiet; certainly a different... more

We stayed in the Hotel im Wasserturm on our last nigth in Germany, and it was a perfect way to end our holiday. We eat in both restuarants "la Vision" which was unbelievably good, and "Dblu" which was also fantastic for its price level though obviously not as wonderful as the michelin star rated Vision). Dinner and breakfast were excellent.... more
