I was very impressed with the style and function of this hotel, located right on the Rhine and within walking distance of all the major Cologne sights, including the cathedral. Even though my room was facing a very busy street, it was very quiet. The bed was great, as was the elegant bathroom. The friendly staff responded very quickly via... More

no weak point, good location next to the rhine and chocolate museum, super service, nice rooms, free sauna, tasteful design and "artwork" everywhere even in the shower, and just that little extra something that makes it stand out from your occasional unimaginative hotel. highly recommended for both business and pleasure

I stayed at this hotel with my partner in October last year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was so different to anywhere we have stayed before. I loved the art work that is within the hotel and the glass lift overlooking the river, it gives the hotel a very contemporary, modern feel. The hotel is located at the side... More

Just got back from one night at the Art'otel Cologne. It was a hip hotel full of young people with interesting design elements. Overall I liked the room layout, although the colored glass "wall" separating the shower and toilet from the rest of the room might be too intimate for people sharing a room with a friend. The only real... More

Dear Reviewer Thank you for your very good review of the hotel. I am sorry there were a few stains on the white carpet in your room.
