Perfect location - right next to the main station, walked to everywhere! Free wi-fi, luggage-room. Late check-in was a little annoying but the staff were friendly and I was allowed to store my luggage before check-in. Spotted a mouse in the kitchen which was a little gross... but for travellers on a budget, there's everything you need - good location, hot showers, and a reasonably comfy bed. I'd recommend it!

I would recommend this hostel to everybody. It has a great location, very close to the main train station and very easy to find. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and space. The secure is on a good level. As for my it has all necessary things to enjoy your staying in Cologne.

This place is very close to the station. In fact, it's so close to the station that, as the annoucements call in through the window, you feel like you're actually sleeping at the platform. Aside from this it appears the place hasn't been upgraded since the 80s. Lights don't work in the bathrooms, everything appears shabby and the staff give off rather unfriendly vibes. A staff member woke my entire dorm room up at around 1am because they thought someone was sleeping there who shouldn't have been. This proved not to be the case. In summary, there must be better places in Cologne than this.

If you want to be close to the main station this is one of the best places to stay at. But it's not the cleanest of places. Lots of bed bugs, carpets smelly and building has a murky smell. The staff is really great.

Free internet. Guest kitchen if required. Excellent location near main station. Nice arrangement for breakfast - pay per item. Very good scrambled egg. Previous reviewers say it is noisy - it isn't if you shut the window. Shelf of books to borrow during stay. Extensive information about local attractions and restaurants.
