Enjoyable, not an average hotel
I always enjoy my stay at the 25hours Hotel The Circle. The atmosphere offers something unique and the staff is helpful. The restaurant, bar, and sauna have great views of the cathedral. The lobby offers interesting exhibits and a coworking cafe.

This is a great funky hotel fairly close to a lot to see and do in Cologne. The room was spacious, the staff was very friendly, snd the breakfast buffet on the rooftop is not to be missed. I’ll definitely be staying at a 25 hours hotel again.

Quirky, Friendly, Perfection
What an incredible hotel. Perfect location. Breakfast was amazing with a wide selection. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Rooms are quirky. The bar with roof terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sun go down on Koln!

After staying at the 25hrs in Copenhagen, we were excited to experience another 25hrs hotel. The ambiance with the spaceship dark walls etc. was not clever nor inviting. We were happy to participate in the eco support of not having room service daily. But when we requested an extra towel or the trash to be emptied, we had to follow up several times before it was completed. There are SEVERAL other hotels that are nicer and a bit less expensive nearby. On the positive side, we will come back to enjoy the restaurant NENI (delicious!) and the top floor bar (the cocktail options were yummy!)

+ Efficient front desk. Allowed me to check in early.
- My room was not serviced during my 2 night stay.
- 8 breakfast charges appeared on my bill, even though I never went. They were eventually removed from the bill.
- The coffee shop attendant is almost never there. I had to ask the front desk to charge me for my coffee, after waiting for a while.
Looks like a great property otherwise, but I was surprised by how bad my experience was with respect to the overall service after checkin.
