We booked 3x 4-bed rooms for a group of 12 during the opening weekend of the Euros. We had to make quite a few changes in the lead up with people dropping out and then others joining, and the staff at the hostel couldn't have been more helpful - especially Alejandro who had to deal with most of the back and forth. The hostel itself is clean, with comfortable beds and friendly staff. The room was a perfect size for 4 of us to share, with a good sized ensuite bathroom and great shower. It was a bit warm and a bit noisy from the street with the windows open, but that didn't make much difference to us. We all really enjoyed the free breakfast too. Would definitely stay again!

It's a hostel so no room service. Lobby was open until late night with 1 person staff. Toilet paper can run off if staying for multiple nights in a full room and it's the stayers responsibility to go ask for more.The air was a bit stuffy but otherwise ok.Breakfast had long availability times (those are shown on hostels web page & elevator) and had pretty good options although vegan options were quite limited (but still existed!)Rewe is the closest grocery store to the place

Overall location of the hotel in general is ok, but few rooms are facing gay bar, which has super loud music and screaming visitors, it is impossible to sleep!

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are as good as new.Special mention to the breakfast, we stayed in a 3 star hotel just before that didnt have as good a breakfast at this hotel. Plenty of choice as well as a full vegan side buffet.The terrace is great and so is the location.They can't do much about the fact that two busy bars are just downstairs and the rooms on that side are very very noisy. Prepare your earplugs and dont choose a bed near the windows. It was fine for me but I live in a busy big city.

Went here with my friends for the Christmas markets. Its location is amazing and its great for visiting Köln. The rooms where clean and the bathroom is verry nice. The price is amazing for what you get. The breakfast is fine but not amazing. The only things to note is that the blankets are a bit thin for the winter season and that you can hear the noice from outside party s. But that is to be expected if you stay so close to bars. The service was really good and the employees were really nice and friendly. We also had parking wich is nice but did scratch our car when opening the back since there are lower beams. The garage is super small and our car was almost too big. (Mid size Kia)

I am giving 1 star because Hostel Köln has ignored my messages relating to a booking I have paid them for.||On 27/11/23 around 8pm, I booked and paid €85 for a single room for the night of 28/11/23. …

They really have to do something about the noise! Unfortunately even with earplugs you can hear everything that's going on upstairs and next door to you.The room was very clean. Breakfast is amazing. You can store your luggage for free as well.
