25Hours Hotel Cologne The Circle in Koln

Perfect hotel for me and the other half to use as a base to explore Kolne. It's located a few minutes walk south of the Belgian Quarter which has plenty of cafes and bars. 5 minutes to the west there is a decent shopping district with plenty of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. If you like Asian food you're well catered for. The hotel itself is modern welcoming and well set out with a quirky futuristic space theme. The cafe downstairs doubles up as a co working space in the day so always plenty of people about but still not too busy. The monkey bar on the 8th floor was pretty decent and restaurant also in the 8th looked nice, but we ate out instead. We had an outer circle room and had a nice view over the city including the cathedral. There's a lovely sauna on the 7th floor that we made good use of with deck chairs to chill out on after your sauna. Superb. The room was great and we had a mini bar with nuts, chocolate, beers and sparkling water included in the price. Could've used a kettle and some tea coffe in the room but no big deal. The staff were really friendly and welcoming 🙏 letting us charge our phone and drop off luggage before check in. I would highly reccomend this hotel as being clean, comfortable, modern, well located and at a good price. Go on book it now.😃

We had a great stay at 25hours The Circle, a hotel that blends style, comfort, and personality — occasionally with a little more personality than strictly necessary.

Service & Atmosphere
The staff were warm, efficient, and genuinely helpful. The relaxed, friendly attitude made the stay easy from start to finish.

Breakfast
The breakfast was excellent — generous, fresh, and above the usual hotel standard. Boasting a surprisingly broad selection of bread, cheeses, charcuterie, fruit - and hot options. Easily one of the highlights of the hotel.

Design & Style
The design leans heavily into its quirky, hipster theme. At times it’s more “look how unconventional we are” than actually functional, but thankfully it stops short of being unbearable. Once you adjust to the theatrics, it’s fun — and, importantly, doesn’t get in the way of comfort.

Rooms
Rooms are modern, well thought out, and comfortable. Even with the eccentric décor, the essentials are done right: good bed, smart layout, and quiet at night.

Overall, 25hours The Circle delivers good service, an exceptional breakfast, and a design aesthetic that’s eccentric but on the sweet side of it. A stylish stay — even if it occasionally tries a little too hard to remind you how stylish it is.

Very nice hotel.
The rooms are quiet and nicely decorated in an original way.
Access to the sauna is included in the price so one can relax in the evening.
The restaurant on 8th floor provides tasty and original food and features a decent wine list.
The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

Really enjoyed the co-working space here! The atmosphere is cozy and well-designed, and the team is always friendly and ready to help. It might not be the perfect setup for everyone in terms of comfort, but the staff truly go above and beyond to make it a great experience. The fact that the co-working area is free is a huge bonus. I was so happy with my time here that when my family visited Cologne, they stayed at the 25hours Hotel. Highly recommend!

It's too hip for me personally. Lots of cool features, but a few basics are missing, like a suitcase rack, an enclosed shower area, and better lighting for the mirror on the sink.

The hotel room was great, had a good layout. Their shampoo and body gel had a great smell. The hotel has a sense of design.

Really perfect hotel, well located, clean, walking distance from cathedral and everything

Great experience!
Unique design of the hotel and rooms. Very friendly reception staff.
Amazing rooftop bar/restaurant.
Must stay in Cologne!

Good central location from which you can quickly reach everything important.
Very friendly check-in, which made special room requests and late check-out possible without any problems.
Restaurant and bar with a beautiful view.
As in other 25 Hours, the concept is implemented in an entertaining way, but the practical aspect is not always the main focus. However, I have never had a lack of space or sleep.
I would be happy to come back at the next opportunity.
