I wouldn't recomend this hostel to any one... We arrived there at 22 h tiered of travelling all day, but when we entered in our room our bed wasn't done so we needed to do it... Sheets were broken and had holes..bed was too small, room also... Breakfast is paid by the food you will eat, but is not cheap... More

Stayed in a 5-bed dorm with 4 other friends. Great location! While traveling the city, we could always go back to rest before heading out again. Wifi only available in lobby and kitchen which was crowded as we were there during Carnival. Might not be a good choice for solo travelers as lockers were located outside the rooms.

We were moved to the Station Hostel when the hostel we originally had booked did not have a room for us. The Station Hostel is in a very good location, really close the main train station of Cologne, meaning it was easy to find in the dark. We were staying at the hostel during the Christmas markets which were amazing,... More

The good thing about this hostel is its location. Right next the Dom and the Central Station. It's a building of 4 flours with no elevators, the huge corridors has some unisex restrooms which are not exactly clean. in the corridors there are old lockers with locks for rental and we also saw some bottles in the floor. There are... More

This place is a real value for money, I also liked their service which is mostly only offered when asked for but that is not a problem. They have some nice features like free internet with 3 desktops provided. There is a blackboard where they write really cool stuff and update the temperature,etc.

Pros: Excellent location, helpful staff; nice for a basic stay. Cons: The room was a bit too stuffy; breakfast was not included; it didn't offer many opportunities for you to talk to the other guests and make friends, which is not nice for somebody travelling alone.

I spent a weekend here in May. Although the staff was friendly and very helpful, I barely got any sleep at night. Although the hostel caters to different age groups, its main lodgers are--predictably--young people. They were up most of the night, tramping down the corridors, talking loudly, and knocking on the doors to wake up their friends in the... More

I stayed with 2 of my friends in September for 1 night in the room with shared bathroom. Hostel is rather old and not too much clean (for its price). It's a bit scary to leave valuable things in the room and even in the lockers (though they provide locks for free with a deposit). Good advantage is that the... More
