Just what was needed and a great location.
Didn’t realise I had booked a hostel but the private room was very good for the time I was staying in the Cologne. The staff were excellent and kind and extremely helpful especially with sorting a fan out in the middle of the night due to the heat. Location just a 5 minute walk from Central Station is also a positive.

Absolutely perfect for our requirements. Inexpensive, short walk to the train station, very clean, modern and in a very quiet area of the city. Would recommend this hotel!

Great location. Property was in a walkable distance for all local attractions and transport. The property was clean and tidy and perfect for the price paid

The hotel was clean and comfortable, Location was great. You do hear the trains though, so if you are a light sleeper it could be an issue.

Great Stopover
We visited as a quick stopover enroute by train from Sweden to the UK. The hotel was easy to find and a short walk from Cologne station. We arrived just after 11.30pm and were greeted and provided our room. The room was basic, but clean, warm and functional. Only downside was no lift as we had some heavy bags, but on balance a great experience.

4/10 Fair

Spacious but extremly warm
The hotel had wonder ful staff and spacious rooms, but it was very noisy from the street and horribly warm with no ac on the room. We had to dampen our towels with ice cold water and cover ourselves just to get the body temperature down. Impossible to sleep in.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for Price
Good location Great price if you are just looking for a no frills place to sleep. Our room was clean it had cheap furniture as expected. It was safe and staff was friendly. I would probably opt out of breakfast

A&O galluswerte would go to this place and study.
If A&o galluswerte was hell i would say that this was supergood. If the receptionist at galluswerte was the worst , this receptionist was the best. Thank you for your professionalism
Jonas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, but woud be better in cooler weather
Nice receptio, friendly staff. The weather was very hot, no air conditioning so I had to have the windows open. This let in a lot of noise from the small park and playground opposite and the boy racers squealing their tires and revving their engines until the early hours. Hardly the hotel's fault though. Breakfast was very good, self service
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property, although it calls itself a hotel, it's more like a hostle. It's more of what it doesn't have then what it does have. There is no AC, no phone, no washcloths, no hand towels, no fan, no elevator, one hanger. It felt way too minimalistic and definitely not worth the $200 a night that we paid.
Louise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

My 2 kids and I arrived and both the receptionists were very helpfull and provided information and tips. The underground parking option for €17 is cheap and was a life saver. The entrance door is very very narrow and the car just fit in so a large vehicle would be a problem. The hotel is situated next to the train station and you can sadly hear the trains clearly but it is to be expected and honestly for the price of the room it is a sacrifice to be made. The room was nice but cleanliness of bathroom and bed linnen let it down. But yet overall it was a nice stay compared to the price and I would go again.
Colin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

At the time of reservation, there was no explanation that it was a hostel. Our room was for two people, but there was no elevator in the entire building, so I had to carry heavy bags up to the 3rd floor, and I felt a lot of pain because of my bad knees. The weather was 29 degrees and there was no air conditioning in the room. Only 2 towels. The bathroom smelled bad. I booked this place 2 months ago for $572 CAD for 2 nights. It's a ridiculous place for that price.
yeonhee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

First off the location, it's a short 7 minute walk from Köln Hauptbahnhof, there are supermarkets, bars, restaurants within a 10 minute walk north, you're very close to the dom and therefore the centre. Keep in mind that if you have your windows open it can be quite noisy because of trains but personally i actually like that. Checking in was easy and quick, only had to fill out a little form. The room itself was clean as was the bed, another great part are the typical German windows you can open completely giving it a nice open feel. The only thing about the room (which for me wasn't a huge deal) were that in the bathroom ome light was broken and the small towel had a small yellow stain. The breakfast is nothing special, you can choose between a couple of brötchen and slices of toast, a tiny salad bar, butter, cereal, hardboiled eggs, 4 kinds of juice and some hot drinks.
