I stayed at this hostel while traveling solo for 2 nights. I really loved the rooms, I was in a 4-person all female room and it was great. The beds are huge, probably a full bed for each, and they come with privacy curtains and literally makes you feel like you have your own “room”!! The location was a bit far from the center of Koln: about a 30 minute walk from the Koln Dom. But there is public transport available as well!! overall i would definitely stay here again! Loved the rooms!

I’ve stayed there twice and I definitely recommend it. Clean, friendly, wonderfully located in the Belgian neighborhood of Cologne. Wide beds with curtains so there’s a feeling of privacy and comfort. Could be a bit pricey for a hostel but worth it!

I had a great stay here!Peter from the reception communicated well with me in advance and sent me all the information.The ballet room was super cute and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The chandeliers and curtains on the beds in particular gave it a certain charm and left enough privacy to relax. Which also worked great because the mattresses were extra wide and comfortable.The highlight, however, is the bar on the ground floor, which is set up as a living room, where you can meet other great people all day long. Definitely worth a visit!

Bed was very large and comfortable. Curtains for every bed were very good.I used also that curtain area to dry my clothes.Closets were also very specious.Good location.It was cool that there was comunity food which could be used and I did not had to run straight to supermarket.It would be better if kitchen would be open during day.The WC and bathroom facilieties are quite limited in 6th floor. For men there were one toilet in my side and one outside in staircase. There are also only two showers. I did not had any problems with accessing them when needed but for the number of people staying that was not a lot.Windows were not fully openable for people staying. That ment that in morning it was harder to let in clean air from outside.Good that I was not staying in any of beds by the window. There were no blinds and it would make harder to sleep in morning.

Really comfortable, clean and secure. My first solo travel experience and I was anxious about how secure my belongings would be. I couldn't have been happier with the accommodation.|For such a popular and busy bar, noise was relatively nonexistent.

During my stay I attended a multi-day event in the Lanxess Arena and felt very comfortable here. I would particularly like to praise the warm and courteous staff. The service and general conditions as well as the price-performance ratio are excellent. Definitely recommended!
