Shame on Hilton.

Not a comfortable place. 11 floors 2 tiny lifts one out of order the whole time. No restaurant despite saying so on website. The bar has no comfortable seating nothing to lean on. The view is not amazing either. We had to have some bar food as we couldn’t get out to the town due to a minor injury so could not get a meal at all that night. when we arrived at 10 pm we had to walk quite a distance to McDonald’s to get something! Horrendous place.

Some good things, some bad

Overall, hotel was pretty nice. Some of the customer service was good, some not so much. Room smelled of drains and after I notified the staff, they just sprayed the whole room with disinfectant, so it smelled like toilet cleaner instead. Spa was nice. Room was cosy. Great views from the bar. But the price was a bit too much for the stay.

Fantastic hotel in central Cologne

The hotel building is beautiful and makes use of an old water tower. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious, and the beds were very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Karim who helped us check in and gave us information and recommendations. 10/10

Beautiful Building

A beautiful building directly opposite an aqua park and a short 10 minute walk to Neuplatz. The area immediately outside was quiet. Nice spacious room (king junior suite on 3rd floor) with a comfy bed and a view of the aqua park. The lighting level of the room was a little low for my preference, even with all lights and lamps switched on. The bed was comfy but I did later notice that the quilt had a stain on it. One day, I was only left 1 bath towel. I could not get the phone in my room to work. The breakfast was very disappointing. I went once at 09:30 and the buffet items had all but been taken so had to wait for replenishments. I opted for a more expensive hot breakfast (31 euros) but nobody came to take my order. The room service menu was disappointing, especially given that the only other dining option was bar snacks in the rooftop bar. I did eat there one evening and found that the service was good, and whilst a restricted menu, the food was hot and delicious, and I enjoyed a cocktail. There was often only one receptionist at the desk so you tended to have to wait to ask a simple question. They were professional and helpful though. The lobby was compact but visually impressive. The spa (5th floor) was disappointing in that there were no staff, no lockers or changing rooms. There was a nice relaxation area with loungers and a nice, clean, spacious sauna. There was no steam room. Cologne is a beautiful, friendly city.

Amazing apart from smell.

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
