Original mais rapport qualité prix décevant
Pros:

Confort et design, literie exceptionnelle. Boissons offertes, chocolats, mini bar. Originalité du lieu, petit déjeuner très bon niveau. Salle de sport et sauna.

Cons:

Austérité du lieu, personnel pro mais pas chaleureux du tout. A 400€ la nuit, chambre peu pratique : duplex avec deux chambres à l’étage, sans toilettes, obligés de descendre un escalier étroit pour la sdb, parking hors de prix : 58€ pour 2 nuits! (Un 4 étoiles dans le centre à Dusseldorf 17€, Anvers 23€, Spa Francorchamps gratuit). Sinon on nous promet un spa : j’ai vu un sauna, je n’ai jamais vu d’eau. Bref un peu cher pour ce que c’est.

Leuk hotel maar prijs kwaliteit zijn er betere opties.
Pros:

Ontbijt was top.
Personeel was vriendelijk.
Leuke historiek van het hotel.

Cons:

De airco van de kamer werkte niet. Veel te warm op de kamer.
Toch vrij veel lawaai van andere kamers en de bar boven onze verdieping. Stoelen die verschuiven etc.
Kussens van het bed stelde niks voor. Veel te plat.

Atmospheric living with a view
Pros:

If you are a big fan of water towers just as I am, you’d enjoy this place.

It preserved a lot of its initial circular structure and atmosphere. One of a kind experience that makes you want to come back.

Unfortunately, the terrace is not accessible, so you’ll have to be satisfied with enjoying the view from the room window. I was lucky enough to be accommodated on the 8th floor.

There’s a bar on the top floor that is accessible to all—apart from Monday when it’s open for hotel guests exclusively.

Es war OK, aber kein Highlight.
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Der Eingangsbereich vom Hotel ist sehr schön. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung und Lecker.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen, das Bad ist sehr klein ohne Ablage Möglichkeiten. Die Technik der Fenster im Zimmer sind eine Katastrophe und schmutzig (Fensterrahmen innen).

Pros:

Very cool hotel, excellent breakfast

Cons:

I was surprised that my toilet seat was broken, ran out of soap and tissues in the room, so felt like a nice hotel that had been a bit neglected

Geweldig
Pros:

Doordat het een oude watertoren is, loopt alles mooi rond met de rooftopbar als summum. Ontbijt was super en de kamers ruim en schoon.

Ok, aber nicht noch einmal
Pros:

- Lage citynah
- schöne Zimmer, gute Betten

Cons:

- Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen, Raumklima stickig.
- Keine Ablagemöglichkeiten im Bad.
-Keine Garderobe, um Jacken oder Ähnliches aufzuhängen.
- 29€ Tiefgarage p.T.
Von den unteren beiden Tiefgaragengeschossen gibt es keinen Fahrstuhl, so dass man das Gepäck 1 bis 2 Stockwerke hoch tragen muss.
