Modern hostel which feels more like a hotel but with the social aspect of a hostel

Was close to the Train-station and very accessible

Wow! I would have stayed longer if there were rooms available. Beautiful grounds and close to transportation. More like a resort.

Jose A., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Good value for money
The hotel is good value for money. We knew it wouldn’t be so central. But in fact the connection with public transport is very good. The room was very spacious. Beds comfortable and a lot of storage in the room.
Marc, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

stated for 1 night, was fine. the sink is next to the beds so it can get a bit noisy at night in the shared rooms

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Kaveri, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that the room is very clean but I didn’t like the breakfast
RAFAEL, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Corey, 6-night trip

Good, but to warm rooms. No fan nor adjustable A/C in room.

Tobias, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

よかったところ: 駅が近いので街の中心には出やすいです。また部屋もきれいで過ごしやすかったです。 気になったところ: ホテルのまわりにはお店が少ないです。また壁が薄いためか他の宿泊客の騒ぐ声が結構響きます。
