I liked my stay at this hostel and found it to be affordable and comfortable. All staff members were friendly and welcoming. The only thing I didn’t find quite right was the laundromat as the washing machine was out of service during my stay, but it wasn’t a big deal for me. Looking forward to visit Cologne and stay at this hostel again!
The hotel is located a little distance away from the city but the public transport can get you there asap. The service was great; the staff were very helpful anytime I had questions about my stay. My only complaint is the washer and dryer. They dont work very well because of their old age
Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful view of the Rhine from my balcony. Simple but tasty breakfast. Generally, quiet but the heavy doors and lock mechanisms were a little intrusive with guests coming and going. But overall, a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended.
I had a great stay there. Staff is really nice and the breakfast was delicious. Everything was clean. The hostel's a little bit far from the city center, but there's a subway stop extremely close to it.
Nice & clean hostel just slightly outside the centre but nice and quiet good transport connection. staff were nice & friendly. only downside that no internet connection in the room. Good for 1 night stay.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach, das war auch nicht das Problem. Allerdings ist die Aufteilung so dass das Bad zwar in einem extra Raum ist, Waschbecken aber im Gemeinschaftsraum. Wenn der erste aufsteht kommen die anderen nicht mehr zur Ruhe.
Handtücher es nicht, wie auch für die Etagenbetten-Zimmer angegeben, inklusive. Wir mussten sie nachzahlen. Wir hätten auch welche mitgebracht, dafür muss es aber auch wissen. Wenigstens ein Stück Seife für die Hände hätten wir aber erwartet.
Frühstück ist überschaubar, aber auch als Veganer bekommt man einen veganen Aufstrich, Margarine, Obst, Gurken und auf Anfrage pflanzliche Milch für Müsli. Das nächste Mal würden wir wohl doch eine etwas komfortablere Unterkunft wählen. Der Schlaf wäre es uns wert.
