Quirky
Quirky is the best word to describe the hotel. The space theme is witty, with many details that make you smile.
The hotel staff were excellent (very helpful in arranging for bags to be stored before check-in). The room was very comfortable

Very central part of the city, with nearby transit only a walk away. This quirky and charismatic hotel really does put smiles on faces. Complimentary mini bar was a much welcome surprise after 13 hours of travel. Dining upstairs was wonderful and has spectacular views.

Staff were amazing but this hotel is a little funky. It’s hard to explain but some of the ‘fun’ design is not optimized for user experience. Having said that, great restaurant upstairs, very good breakfast too.

Cool and funky hotel
Really good hotel in a nice area. Cool vibe and an excellent rooftop bar. Breakfast was good but 29 euro seems a bit steep. Rooms cool and bed very comfortable. Would definitely go back but be warned bar was very busy Friday night and had to queue to get in.

Good Location
Our 2-night stay was good. The breakfast & service in the restaurant were both very good, and the restaurant was very clean. Our room was clean, but the carpets in the hallways definitely could use a thorough cleaning. Our room could also need a fresh coat of paint. The restaurants in the nearby area were mostly of the fast-food variety, and not to our liking.

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 hotel was a highlight of our trip, it had a good amount of character to it, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and we made good use of the coworking space and sauna in-between exploring the city (it's right around the corner from a subway station and an easy walk to the cathedral).

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.

I really loved my stay here and the restaurant on the roof is lovely. There is construction work outside which is annoying but it's not the fault of the hotel. The rooms are great and there are lots of quirky characteristics to the hotel itself. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

The place is perfect for a city trip, as its just a quick walk away from Dom, Rhein and nearly every importand spot.
Its modern, clean, friendly. Liked the room itself as well as the food up in the NENI and drinks in Monkey Bar. Would totally recommend this hotel.
