The accommodation was great. I found the staff a little less friendly than in other places, but then I found everyone a little less friendly in Cologne.

I was really impressed with this hostel, it felt more like a hotel. The room is clean and has plenty of good lighting and power sockets. Bathroom is immaculate and ample space for your toiletries and bags. Breakfast was included in the fee and was amazing! A variety of foods was available and not just the regular cereals and toast. The only few thingsi would improve are comfy pillows, early housekeeping and microwave available in the common room. Other that I would highly recommend this place.

Bedrooms are really nice, exactly as in the photos. The bathroom was very clean, comfortable and new. Breakfast is excellent offering a wide choice and is served till late: perfect for those who like to wake up late! Good location: very close to the main shopping streets and about 15 minutes on foot to the central station and cathedral. We definitely recommend it!

We asked for a quiet room and got one on the 4th floor right beneath the breakfast room. If you need to wake up at around 6am, this is the perfect floor for you to stay on. Otherwise we'd strongly advise you to ask for a room on a different floor. Apart from that: great location, superb breakfast, nice and clean rooms.

A really nice place. The room was very clean and organized. The staff are very nice and speak english with no trouble. The breakfast was really good with good variety of food. And served until 12pm during the weekends. About the location, it is very near the shopping street, but it is a 15 min walk until the Köln Dom.

Great value. It is more a hotel than hostel so it is not the place to stay to meet people. But in terms of facilities, cleanlines and value for money it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and it is an easy walk through the shopping streets to downtown, Highly reccomended
