Very nice room. We found it equally nice to the hotel we had stayed in earlier on the trip which was a really nice surprise

It's just out of one of the underground stations, for the price is great, the bar in there is great and it's very comfortable!

The hostel is a little bit far from city centre, but it is pretty clean. We two stayed in a four-bed dorm but there was no other people, so it became our private room. The kitchen is nice and of adequate utensills for cookng. The staff is also helpful!

Really neat place with a lot of character, A little outdated but it kind of adds to the atmosphere. Very relaxed so dont stay here if you are looking to party like crazy. A little distance from the city center on the river but very walkable. Enjoyed my stay!

It's a very nice hostel, not far from the city centre. We were in a private room and it was good.

The cafe down the bottom was fantastic and I loved the retro feel of the whole hostel. The only bad bit was the soft bunk beds

Location was fabulous. A short tram ride from the main station, walk out from the underground platform and you are there. Chilled-out atmosphere in the cafe-bar area with cheap local beer and good music. Staff were really helpful with directions and tips on where to go and what to see in the city. Kitchen area was well equipped and a good way to meet other people like us who enjoyed cooking. Beds were comfy and all bathrooms were clean and modern. Would definately recommend to others and stay again if in Cologne.

Great Location. It was a little out of the city, but it is still located on a pretty happening street. It wasn't too loud, but you essentially just come up from the Ubahn and it's on your right. It's also on a decent Ubahn line, although you have to change once to get to the main train station. They also didn't try to persuade me into paying for the 4Euro breakfast, which I appreciated.

The stuff were very nice. But the toilet is not separated with bathroom. It is not so convenient.

A very nice place to stay, quite close the "Belgisches Viertel" which is a very nice area of Cologne. It's not a very modern place but everything is nice, clean and cosy. Lots of old furnature, colors and a cool bar.
