You don't expect to find in a hostel of room as in 5 stars - there is no special decor around. But there is a good service - the fast check-in and the check-out, full help in all questions! We booked room for 4 with a shower, and it was clean and spacious. A towel here for a separate small... More

I really enjoyed my stay here - the staff was so friendly the lounge was always a nice place to meet people and the rooms were very comfortable. For backpackers its right near the train station and close to so many of the sites. A+! More

This is a budget hostel for long stay, very near to main station and also shopping area as well as tourist places. They have nice kitchen for 24x7 use. For all Indian food lovers next door is Jaipur hotel. So what else you guys are waiting try there. More

This hostel is in the centre of the city and next to the main train and bus station. Most things are within easy walking distance including a supermarket. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and spacious, with single beds, instead of bunks. The toilets, were not especially pleasant though, and the lockers are in the hallway... More

This is a budget hostel and you get what you paid for. The location is great (opposite the Hilton after all!) yet the hostel in itself is not particularly well designed and therefore quite noisy (if you're not drinking, bring ear plugs). The bathrooms are ok since they have recently been redecorated but there still is an aeration problem. The... More

Cheap accommodation - 32 euro in a single room with shared bathroom. Hostel is in the center of Cologne 5 minutes from the Koln Hauptbanhof and Cathedral. Room was very small. Bathrooms were clean and modern. A kitchen and lounge on the first floor for guests and reception and bar on the ground floor. In the basement locker rooms and... More

Firstly the location is excellent - the hostel is very close to the main train station/cathedral/city centre. The hostel was easy to find and the staff were very friendly. The price was very affordable and staying here is good value for money given the central location. Shortly after entering our room we noticed that the window would not lock. We... More

Stayed in August 2011 on a backpacking tour of europe. The hostel is near to the train station (you can hear the trains from the room!) and has everything you would expect from a good hostel. It has good rooms with plenty of storage and an ensuite bathroom and was really well priced. It also has a good bar area... More

The hostel has a a great location close to the station and cathedral - really convenient for arrival and departure and the touristy part of the city. The room was quite decent with armchairs provided in addition to the beds in the twin room. The bed was not that comfortable as you feel the springs but managed to sleep OK.... More

My trip to Cologne was an impulsive one but unknowingly, I stayed there for five days because it's a wonderful base to explore other cities. This hostel is around 5 minutes away from the station & thus, its name. By now, this hostel is probably not as famous as its heyday because it's the earliest hostel in Cologne & that... More
