love the decorations! was a pretty good hostel, kinda quiet but not their fault but not much to do when there's so few people. as others have said there's just the front door lock and then some small lockers so maybe less good if you don't trust your roomies. lovely though, thanks!

Great hostel, really friendly staff, perfect size to meet everyone that stayed there. Lockers are a little small though and the open door policy a little unnerving with only valuables away

The cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in. City center is easily accessible by walking through interesting streets, or by public transport. My only complaint is that I'd prefer wireless internet over a common computer, but that'.s really just a way to improve, not a reason to stay away.

A very small and tiny hostel located in a weird location. The only thing good is the room is quite comfortable. But only jem and toast and you call that a breakfast buffet??? No wifi inside and without many information. If you do want people to hang-out here without using internet, you should increase yourself.   Read Owner Comments

A little air freshener would be nice for the rooms. I know domrs are hard to keep free of odour but one can at least try.

Excellent hostel. Very clean with very nice shower/bathroom structure. Staff (Uli and Lina - hope I spelled right) is very kind and helpfull. Enjoyed the short time I stayed in Koln. And the common room is a English-only zone, :-D

Nice hostel. Good location. Small lockers in the rooms. Clean facilities. There was no key for the dorm rooms, which I think is a bit weird for a "female" room, but it was ok. I would go there again.

This is a small hostel in a good location, walkable to most areas of interest in Cologne (may want to take U-bahn from Hbf). The staff is mostly invisible but I never needed them for anything. The only security is a key code at the front door, there are no locks on the doors of the rooms. In a 4 bed room there were only 3 lockers with keys (huh?). If you're a security freak you may not be happy here. Also, half the rooms face the street/U-bahn and it can be noisy if you're a light sleeper.
