I liked my stay at this hostel and found it to be affordable and comfortable. All staff members were friendly and welcoming. The only thing I didn’t find quite right was the laundromat as the washing machine was out of service during my stay, but it wasn’t a big deal for me. Looking forward to visit Cologne and stay at this hostel again!
The hotel is located a little distance away from the city but the public transport can get you there asap. The service was great; the staff were very helpful anytime I had questions about my stay. My only complaint is the washer and dryer. They dont work very well because of their old age
Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful view of the Rhine from my balcony. Simple but tasty breakfast. Generally, quiet but the heavy doors and lock mechanisms were a little intrusive with guests coming and going. But overall, a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended.
I had a great stay there. Staff is really nice and the breakfast was delicious. Everything was clean. The hostel's a little bit far from the city center, but there's a subway stop extremely close to it.
Nice & clean hostel just slightly outside the centre but nice and quiet good transport connection. staff were nice & friendly. only downside that no internet connection in the room. Good for 1 night stay.
The hotel is good value for money. We knew it wouldn’t be so central. But in fact the connection with public transport is very good. The room was very spacious. Beds comfortable and a lot of storage in the room.
