Cool building. Nice hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice room, with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. Nice bar on the top floor, with a terrace.Improvement points:(1) Breakfast. The breakfast room was messy and chaotic. A lot was gone or not yet replenished.(2) The climate installation. It was very warm, especially in the bedroom. The air conditioning in the room did not work / did not work properly.

After my new visit I am much happier than before. Overall, the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne is a really good hotel, which fits well into Hilton's Curio Collection as a boutique hotel.A positive highlight is the original breakfast, which should have something for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, especially thanks to the outstanding cleanliness and friendly housekeeping team. The housekeeping manager was incredibly helpful and even loaned us a hair straightener that we had forgotten at home - a service rarely found these days! She also gave us great tips on where to take our daughter to play. All the staff were warm and made us feel truly welcome. A very homely feeling that you rarely experience these days. Thank you for this great experience!
