My friend and I stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The room was super cute and we loved how there was a story available telling us the history of the pieces/design of the room. However, the shower/bathroom was completely visible from the bed, so make sure you room with someone you are very comfortable with if you stay here.

A really nice small hotel in central Cologne with very individually designed rooms. Very unique. And very friendly staff. Just be aware that the hotel is close to a street with lots of bars and depending on where the room is facing you might hear the noisy crowds in the night.

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.
Stayed 1 night in May 2024

10/10

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.

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.

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 :)

2/10

Room was noisy, no hot water, glass bathroom is ridiculous and noone replied to our email inquiry for parking. Noone to speak to afterhours, said it at check out and didn't make a difference

Interesting hotel! We were there 3 nights in a heatwave so lack of ac was noticeable but fans provided. There was not enough storage for cloths luggage. But location great. Staff excellent friendly and helpful and source of great advice for where to eat etc.

The hotel staffs are very nice but the hotel room was in poor condition. Very tiny room, uncomfortable bed and loud neighborhood. There is no AC in the rooms and no elevator in the hotel.

It was 32 degrees outside so way too hot, but eventhough no airco was present, the room was provided with a fan. Kettle and mugs free for use, cold water as much as we wanted. Very very kind staff, clean and original room and superb location for a city trip, smack in the middle of The Belgian Quarter so a galore of clubs and restaurants within walking distance, and no noise pollution in the room at night due to well isolated room.

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.

2/10

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.
