Reviews
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.
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.
The hotel is trendy with a young, stylish vibe, and the EV charging station was convenient and inexpensive. Unfortunately, everything else about my stay fell far below expectations.
I paid in advance specifically to secure an early check-in at 14h—your own condition. Yet when we arrived at 15h, the room still wasn’t ready. Instead of apologizing or offering any solution, the short blonde-haired staff member at the counter was rude and completely unconcerned.
What makes it even more frustrating is that you require guests to pay upfront and accept your conditions—clearly to streamline your own operations—yet you don’t respect your part of the agreement. No apology, no compensation, nothing. That’s a terrible way to do business.
To top it off, when we finally got the room, the bathroom was dusty.
And honestly, I can already guess what your response will be: “We are so sorry that you were disappointed… we will do our best to communicate with our staff…” The usual copy-paste “blablabla” that doesn’t change anything.
A few positive amenities don’t compensate for unprofessional service and a complete lack of respect for customers.
Unique design of the hotel and rooms. Very friendly reception staff.
Amazing rooftop bar/restaurant.
Must stay in Cologne!
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.
