Unique rooms filled with character! Super cool and immersive. However, the bathroom is only separated by a panel of glass from the bed. So privacy could be a challenge if you are travelling with friends or co workers. A heads up to those travelling in the summer, there is no AC at the hotel but there is a fan in the room to help cool down. Location wise, it is great! Everything is walking distance, very convenient.

Very nice hotel and location. Close to all the trendy cafes and bars....very nice staff and amenities. Overall, my partner and I had a great time together in this hotel.

The only thing that was a real problem was the lack of ac in the room. It was a hot time when we went but for me there still needs to be acceptable temperatures. One small other thing is our room had no refrigerator so buying water or something to snack on became a little tricky

The mattress in the room was a waterbed, presumably chosen to match the room’s design, but unfortunately it was quite uncomfortable and affected the quality of my sleep. In addition, there was a city map placed on the desk that appeared to have been previously used, with some kind of spill on it, which made the overall cleanliness feel lacking. I was also expecting to receive a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine as part of the Expedia VIP Access benefit, but this was not provided during my stay. On the positive side, the hotel is conveniently located close to the city center, making it easy to get around. I was also very satisfied with the key system, which could be fully managed via a smartphone app, it was extremely convenient.

Great staff - super friendly and helpful with everything. Room felt like I was in the guest room of a friend’s house in terms of comfort while seeming like I was in someone’s painting as well. Location is great - centrally located for all of Cologne.

What a wonderful place! Each room is bespoke, designed by an artist. We were in the reading room and had a ball. Great location, easy walking distance to central station, Cologne Cathedral and Old town.

Room was good. Bed was hard and low to the ground. No closet or dresser. Had clothes everywhere by the end. You must have an iPhone or better to access the main door and your room door. No key cards or keys. No elevator which was ok except carrying luggage up 5 flights of stairs and that long walk up the stairs coming home at night. The staff was friendly and was able to check in 3 hrs early which was a great benefit. Did not receive the bottle of wine or an upgrade for gold level. Judge this as you may but the room and bathroom is separated only by a see thru glass wall. So make sure you and your roommate is comfortable pooping and showering in the open. Window looks out over a courtyard. The entire wall/window was floor to ceiling levered vertical blinds that didn’t work very well.

I've stayed at the 18Arts before and have always had a good experience. The location is perfect for my purposes in Cologne. This time I traveled with my partner, and the one drawback is the absence of a door on the toilet. It is a little awkward having to use the toilet in full view. There is also no refrigerator in the room, so if you have medicine that needs to be kept cold it's a problem. There is also no coffee machine and it is not great having to use the powdered packets (which always taste awful). There is a machine with coffee pods that is better in the reception, but it isn't always open and you don't always want to rush to shower and get dressed in order to get a coffee when you wake up. I received multiple emails from both the hotel and hotels.com to check in, which was confusing because it seemed like I had accidentally made multiple reservations. I also just prefer checking in at a reception desk. Checking in online ahead of time is a bit annoying when you're busy with other things while traveling.

A unique, delightful hotel. Room was very spacious, clean and well equipped. Loved all the small extras in the room. Didn't have breakfast, but very close to many restaurants.

The service is very friendly and the rooms are very cute.
