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!

Good value for money

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.

stated for 1 night, was fine. the sink is next to the beds so it can get a bit noisy at night in the shared rooms

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.

4/10 Fair

The hallways on the fifth floor smelled of urine. You have to pay to borrow a towel. The mattress covers were old and weathered, and the bed themselves were extremely tiny.
