It was a clean, nicely kept hotel. The rooftop bar was good to head to in the evening. Facilities in surrounding area are limited and quite a walk to the key tourist places. Asking questions of the hotel staff was not great at all. Limited answers despite trying to gain an insight into specific places.

Loved the hotel, relatively easy parking for Cologne. Walking distance to everything downtown. Free GOOD Coffee 24/7, which is basically the most important need I have. If there’s one thing, the elevators are a little suspect😅. But that’s probably due to retrofitting them into an antique building. I will be staying there again next year when I come back.

No customer service to help with suitcases, checking in to our room, no security in the building, anyone can walk in off the street, take the lift or stairs to any floor. Someone knocked on our door when we opened the door some drunk young guy pushed in to enter our room however my wife pushed him out and closed the door, when we complained they didn’t know what to do. I asked them to check the security cameras on that floor, no cameras anywhere other than the reception. They apologised and said they had a function on that evening so could have been anyone wondering through the hotel. There are homeless, drunk and drugged people around the block with empty and broken bottles on the footpath. The reason we booked this hotel is it had a Hilton brand, unfortunately was more like a 3 star motel. I will not stay here again and do no recommend it.

There was no amenities in the room accept towels. Looks like the room was not ready. Overall my experience was poor

Tout était parfait sauf les ascenseurs. À cause du bar qui semble être très populaire en ville, il y avait beaucoup de monde qui voyageait et c’était loin d’être efficace. Un ascenseur dédié au bar devrait être installé et un autre juste pour les clients de l’hôtel. Sinon, tout le reste était parfait.

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.
