The room was very clean, but it advertised internet. Internet rarely works and only if you sit outside with the bugs. Staff (I think it was the owner who was the worst. He seemed to set the example for the others.) was very rude. …

The hostel was really good. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. I stayed in the 4-girls room. The hostel staff were sweet and friendly. The location is almost perfect. It is 10-15 minute walk to Heumarkt. You can also take the tram and go there within 3 minutes. The tram station was next to the hostel. It is also very close to the Köln Messe/Deutz train station. It was easy to access to the airport by the trains. The breakfast was adequate. Overall I recommend this hostel as a female solo traveler. I felt safe during my stay.

The staff was very helpful, the rooms were amazing considering this is a hostel, and the location is great. Our room was very clean, and the view we had of the cathedral was stunning, the only downside was that there wasn't any ac, so it got pretty hot. Breakfast wasn't amazing, it did offer a lot of options, but the bread for example was stale. But considering how cheap this place is, it's honestly completely worth the money. One of the better hostels I stayed at.

The location is superb! It is near all the great attractions in cologne. I think the service could have been better, they were a tad rude. The food was despicable however the mash and cherry yoghurt was a good combination. For breakfast our option was hard bread or the same cereal everyday. However the room was spacious and comfortable and very clean. Only downside was there was a silverfish in the bathroom and my mattress cover had a rip in it. Bring your own pillow as they are lumpy and lifeless. Very good for its price and I would say its worth it! Has a lot of schools in it but they are very bearable. The reception shop was very expensive (got to get that bag) and down the road you can get chocolate for 75 cent! Going again next year, really enjoyed my time at the hostel. Viva colonia!

Clean, the best accommodation for visiting Kolln/Cologne fairs. Walking distance to fair and also famous Deutz Bridge. Douring the ANUGA fair, the prices for other accommodations are extremely expensive. …

I stayed in a 4 bunk beds room with 2 of my friends. The beds are clean and comfortable. Bedsheets and duvet were provided. However, towel and soap are not provided. There is a locker for each person in the room with a safe in it.There is 2 washing machine and 2 dryers on the underground level (U). To operate the machine, you will need to purchase the tokens from the reception area, which is 5 euro each for washing and drying.WiFi is only provided at the lobby area.The hostel is great distance from a few food stalls andalso there is a farmer market nearby every weekend. The location is also ideal for people participating in events at the Lanxess arena.

Very practical location right opposite Cologne's "Köln-Deutz" station, although the fact that, as of January 2024, there is some kind of construction work going on just outside (made worse by the hostel keeping no lights on around the building) means finding the entrance proved amazingly awkward. Very quiet, although that may not be the case when school groups are staying, I guess. The décor is 100% minimalistic and nothing but functional. If you get a single room everything works out quite similar to a budget hotel rather than a hostel, except the guestrooms have no WiFi. Good German-style buffet breakfast.

My biggest complaint is that towels are not included, and that was not clear in the booking. It's an extra 4€ per towel. The windows also only tilt open, so it was hard to get a breeze so it could cool down. There were lots of grade school kids there during our stay, and they can be a bit annoying and loud plus they take forever to get through the breakfast line.
