The hostel is small but really nice and cozy. It is about 3 Km walking sidtance from the Cologne center/Dome. The staff is nice and very very organized. Hostel is really clean and you get alot of facilities for very little money. It is kept clean and very quiet. You also have a small breakfast included in the price and for a 10 Euro deposit you get a small lock to store your valuable belonggings.

Thank you for your review. A short distance ticket is 1,90 Euro. The underground stop is only 100m away. No reason to save the money in my opinion.

I really liked this hostel! It was really close to the metro station and only a few stops from the city. The lockers were big enough to fit entire bags in and the free breakfast was really good. The staff were also great, very helpful and friendly and the rooms and bathroom were very spacious and always clean. I had a great stay here, I would definitely come back to this hostel again if I ever visit Cologne again.

If you had the impression that i was rude i like to apologize. Sometimes it can get very annoying when people ignore hostel rules or what i say. I don't remember any problem with you. Thank you for the fair rating.

Excellent - great value for money, friendly and helpful owner and surprisingly spacious rooms and comfortable beds for a hostel! Free breakfast too. Would definitely recommend.

As far as I found out there was only one bathroom/toilet for 6 People. Could be a problem, when someone is showering and you need to p. But I would go there again!

Thank you for your review. You stayed in a 6 bed dormroom with ensuite bathroom. That's why 6 people share a bathroom. One floor up would have been another bathroom.

Very nice bathroom and decent kitchen. Breakfast included was plain, but sufficient. Each bed gets a chest with a personal lock to store your stuff; you also get your own key to the hostel, which is otherwise locked. Overall, I was very happy with my stay

Owner did not go out of his way to be welcoming, but he gave us all the information we needed about where to eat, grocery stores, etc. Bathroom was clean, room was great (plugs next to each bed). Kitchen was clean, and the free breakfast was nice.

Thank you for your review. I read it quite often that people think I'm unwelcoming, rude or unfriendly, which is always irritating. That's not my intention. It's very hard for an old fart as me to change my character. Sorry.

The owner was a bit unfriendly but he was very diligent. It was good that i could use kitchen facilities. However it was cold at night even if there was a radiator. I stayed there two nights and both days i woke from cold. compared to money, i think it is good hostel to stay.
