Perfect and quirky

Had a wonderful stay at 18Arts this weekend. Fantastic cocept, lovely room and a comfortable bed. Radio playing chilled music on entry to our room. Not an issue for us but there is no step free access at this hotel.

Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Good quality bedding and the shower was powerful. Easy to get to from the Ubahn too. Room was super quiet and some nice little free bits and bobs offered too.

Arty rooms & great service in the heart of Cologne

Such a beautiful place to stay. The service was excellent and the staff very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and we loved the individuality of each artist designed room. I'd definitely recommend this hotel, we loved it.

Each room of the hotel has a different theme. We had the street art room. It was nice and fun to stay in a non generic room.

The stay was really convenient. The check in was smooth and I got all the needed information. The check out process as well, the room perfectly clean, with all cosmetics needed. It is really well connected with the different areas of the city and supermarkets. Special regards to the Polish receptionist :)

Good

The location of the 18 Arts Hotel is convenient, but it has some real issues. The biggest one is that this place has no elevator. It is really difficult to bring luggage up the stairs. And there are issues with privacy, as the rooms that I was in each had a bathroom with transparent glass walls. If you're traveling with someone who's not your partner, you may want to stay somewhere else.

A bit quirky but comfortable room - only negative was the lack of aircon on a very hot night. Would come back though, but maybe not in the summer.

A great hotel with even better staff!

Apart from our room being quite spectacular (we had the Steve McQueen room), all the other themed rooms also looks amazing. The room was well appointed with all amenities (including a hair dryer AND hair straightener) and cozy. There was a bit of noise from the street below but nothing major. It should be noted that the shower has a glass wall to the bedroom which may not be suitable for everyone. The location is perfect and is a quick jaunt to the S-Bahn and also the Cathedral. Finally, what really makes this place standout is the staff - we had the pleasure of meeting 3 of the staff and all were helpful with recommendations and accommodating any requests.

best kept secret in Cologne!

A Great small boutique hotel in the heart of the city... just far enough away from/to Cologne Cathedral / HBF... Friendliest receptionists of much of my travels... early check in was no issue when room was ready... reception area is relaxed and 'arty' with nice touches like self service coffee, snacks and good magazines.. room was 'fab'.. away from direct sunlight made it cooler by day and night... the waterbed and shell surround is both dramatic but also very practical.. the room had comp water/tea and coffee, a tablet computer plus a tv with every channel any guest could need.. the Glass walled bathroom and shower was fresh, clean and had cool toiletries, towels etc.. design features of this single room include a very strong nautical theme which made it very very relaxing... check out was again smooth and prompt... Im sad i didn't have more time to stay but its location to local amenities (Babylons pool on hot days) and restaurants makes it perfect for a city break. and it really is an Art Hotel... not just in name...

The good: The staff were quite friendly and the area around the hotel was walkable, many of the sites were within a 20-30 minute walk. The bad: The room was ok, it was quite dusty, and the layout wasn't the best. The room we had was right by the main stairwell which was ridiculously noisy, the door to get in the hotel has a loud buzzer when someone opens ot which made sleeping impossible. The room was right above a bar, so that extra noise didn't help the cause either. The amenities were ok, but nothing great. Instead of a bottle of sparkling wine, we got to single serve bottles instead. Overall, the price to performance was not up to par. The noise prevented us from sleeping, and the room was quite dusty.

This is a great idea for a hotel; art gallery in each room. We were really excited for it. But alas, it was not meant to be. We stayed for one night, and the daytime temperature was 30degrees Celsius, and the hotel had no fans or air conditioning. They had two windows in the room to open, but there were a variety of Irish bars at the end of the street, so if the windows were open, you would hear all of that noise. But if the windows were closed, you’d over heat from the humidity. It was a lose-lose situation. The staff were friendly and inviting.

The jpte; gave me a room which required climbing up 8 flights of stairs, with heavy bags. No elevator, and no strong person to assist. This problem was never advised, and I would not have made the booking if it were known. Very disappointed in Expedia for not providing this essential info. Also, totally inadequate lighting in the room, along with a clear glass separation to the bathroom which could easily be crashed into with severe consequences.

The good things: Beautiful boutique hotel with art themed rooms which feels special & fun Convenient to tourist areas, but off the main busy areas, so it is quieter, & has a more residential feel with local bakeries and shops Convenient new high tech checkin from your phone & it works! Friendly, helpful staff Convenient local transport to gamescom Areas to improve to be excellent: Fridge in rooms, a must Breakfast on site a must Air-conditioning a must Complimentary vip wine unable to leave in room chilled because there is no room fridge. It was left behind reception so we didnt use it and it took the surprise away Overall a good stay, thank you 18arts hotel team
