Great price for the location and quality. Perfect for a short stay. Since it’s beside the train station it might be noisy for some however for me it’s not a bother as it’s just white noise. Staff very friendly and would stay again due to its close proximity to the city centre.

Just what was needed and a great location.

Didn’t realise I had booked a hostel but the private room was very good for the time I was staying in the Cologne. The staff were excellent and kind and extremely helpful especially with sorting a fan out in the middle of the night due to the heat. Location just a 5 minute walk from Central Station is also a positive.

Great Stopover

We visited as a quick stopover enroute by train from Sweden to the UK. The hotel was easy to find and a short walk from Cologne station. We arrived just after 11.30pm and were greeted and provided our room. The room was basic, but clean, warm and functional. Only downside was no lift as we had some heavy bags, but on balance a great experience.

It’s not bad for a 1-night stay. Especially if you are in transit. But the reception area is very unwelcoming, cold, with vending machines lining one wall. The room itself was simply ‘okay’. Clean enough. Bed was comfortable. The shower was deadly slippery — so if you issues with mobility I would not recommend using the shower. Overall, for the price, I would have expected a more comfortable experience.

Good, but woud be better in cooler weather

Nice receptio, friendly staff. The weather was very hot, no air conditioning so I had to have the windows open. This let in a lot of noise from the small park and playground opposite and the boy racers squealing their tires and revving their engines until the early hours. Hardly the hotel's fault though. Breakfast was very good, self service

Not worth the price they charge. Also, the popcorn machine is a scam for the amount they charge. Avoid it.
