Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection by Hilton

Innenstadt

"I really enjoyed this hotel - it is an experience! The rooms are comfortable, almost luxurious….the breakfast buffet is amazing, they have a nice spa/sauna, and a reasonable (albeit just essentials) gym. The neighborhood is quiet, so no noise, and easy walking distance to parts of Cologne. Note: the front desk is rarely staffed, which is a key gap in case of emergency needs or scheduling changes."

"Hotel was really cute, up the elevator, outside hallway back inside to the room. Really different. Inside the room was well laid out super clean, room and bathroom. Nice comfortable bed. We were in a busy area on a bustling street 10 mins from the main station, but the forty floor was quite and the view from our window was the beautiful tree canopy. Easy check in with a friendly staff. Nothing but positive vibes."

Mauritius Hotel & Therme

10/10 Excellent

"I had lovely stay at this hotel in the center of Cologne. It was my first time using a German spa, The main sauna has a old custom ritual when a person heat up the suna with lemongrass herbs on the hour, I absolutely loved it! Outdoor hot pool and indoor pool, cold tub, Jacuzzi. Never have I been to a spa and felt so relaxed and free from stress. Friendly checking in and out. Rooms clean and modern. I had the best sleep here, must have to come back."
