Black Sheep Hostel Reviews

Staff was really friendly and helpful, it was obvious they were passionate about their jobs.

One of the funniest hostel I have ever stayed. Really good! I really recomended to go with friends.

Staying was amazing!!!! I totally enjoyed with my staying! Location is the best! You just need to take 1 underground line to the hostel. The only thing that i was looking forward to is Wi-Fi Connection... If there would be a Wi-Fi Connection at the hostel it would be much better!!

Bed space is comfy. Wash facilities are very good and kitchen/eating/washing arrangement is good too. The common area/kitchen is small enough that it is easy to start talking to people, as are the bedrooms so you won't struggle to meet others. The location is not too bad, you have tram stops just outside, a mcdonalds next door and plenty of bars and eating places within easy walking distance. Apparently its noisy outside at night but i sleep like a log so no dramas for me there. Cracking hostel!

The only problem is that it´s a bit noisy there and when you share a room with many people you need to leave the window open, otherwise the air is too sultry. The staff is always willing to help and nice.

Really loved my stay here! This was my favourite out of all the hostels i've stayed at. The staff were really great, i made really good friends there, and just felt very at home and comfortable. Showers were pretty good, bathrooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the place had a lot of character. Free pasta, tea and coffee. But no wifi and only one computer - which can be annoying, but it made it a lot easier to chat to people.

The bathrooms were clean, and large. The kitchen and common area was very nice to cook dinner and meet fellow travelers. I forgot to bring a towel, and they were able to provide a small one free of charge. The free pasta, and the free breakfast was nice too, and helps travelers to save money. I would definitely stay here again!

One of the beds was really squeeky and the noise from the traffic outside was very loud, but apart from that it was amazing, really nice and fun. Great staff, and cool decoration, we were in the fairy room :). Would visit again

Great hostel, friendly staff, great facilities, very clean. Only qualm was that as a single female traveller, I was sharing a dorm with only a guy. Not that there was any problem but I did feel a little uncomfortable initially. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent hostel with great staff. Clean sheets, comfy beds, nice showers but most with busted joints so you must hold it with one hand, small but working kitchen, included breakfast is simple with just some milk and cereal. Location is outside city centre, but right across the street from tram. However, the highlight is that it is 5 minutes walk to great cafes, bars and restaurants which are frequented by students and are good value. I checked in when 'Ben' was on duty, and he was very helpful.

Staff went out of their way to help and settle us in, rooms were pretty standard hostel fare with little lockers to put your valuables, free tea and breakfast always a plus, friendly fellow guests also. Good times!

Really nice place. Just across the street from the tram (train station is 4 stops distant, as well as the cathedral). Near a lot of bars and pubs within walking distance. Breakfast until 12pm also included! Would stay again.

Stayed 1 night there in 6 bed dorms (window to the back): Nice stay, it s for sure the most comuncative hostel from the 3 hostels I knew in Cologne: Easy to talk to other travellers and staff in the comun areas (kitchen, balcony), so chance for solo travellers to meet somebody quite big. Many showers. No Wi-Fi (they told me they are thinking about install it soon), kitchen ran down, but with nevertheless with atmosfery and cozy. Cartravelers: Only from 18- 9h you ll find free parking around

Had a great time at Black Sheep! We ended up partying almost all night in the common room and it was a blast. But outside of the common room you could hardly hear anything so good for those that want to sleep too. Good hostel.

Good location. Very easily accessible by subway. Great showers.

Good hostel, nice and small, pretty good location only 20 min walk/4 tube stops from city centre, lots of little extras like book & coin exchanges & free pasta. No wifi only downside but a communal PC to use (which was always in use)

The staff were really helpful in giving us tips on where to go and what sights to see. The breakfast was simple but good, and one of the staff even cooked supper for everyone (for free!) while we were there. Location was good, just a few meters from the u-train station at barbarossaplatz. All in all, good value for money.

Nice place, good nightlife nearby, the staff were lovely.

The staff was very friendly and the location is really good, with many bars nearby. Just don't expect a party hostel. The atmosphere was very calm, at least when I was there ...

The staff were super friendly and the common room was a great place to hang out and meet people. it was great that the internet was free. i liked the way there was food there for everyone to have and all the spices n stuff to make yummy food. also teh rooms were spacious and beds really comfy!
