    Very good hostel with good prices. Nice location: all sights and Railway station are near (5-10 min by feet). Staff is friendly and helpful,good service. Rooms and linens are very clean. Comfortable beds. There is a kitchen there where you can cook. You must pay for the towels if you need it.

    Everything was great!! The rooms are comfy, with individual lights and power plugs, I was in a four bed room. The receptionists are all very friendly and willing to help! Being abke to leave food in the fridge was a very big advantage! And the lockers In the rooms are very big and comfy. The bathrooms were clean and the kitchen is very spacious and clean as well. The hostel looks amazing! I'd definitely recommend it

    Great hostel. Clean and rooms are comfortable. Good proximity to main railway station. Friendly staff but never had need to ask for much tourist info so don't know what they could provide. They need a better toaster for breakfast time. Free tea and coffee would be good ☺️.

    (Translated by Google) The facilities and location were almost satisfactory! It was very cheap because I made a reservation in advance. When washing, the water pressure was also good !! Above all, the cabinet was very large and comfortable. It costs 1 euro or 2 euros to lock it, but it's free. But there was no Wi-Fi in the room. It only broke out of the room. I didn't think it burst so well outside, The staff stayed very well for one night Oh the staff were very friendly! (Original) 시설,위치 등 거의 다 만족했어요 ! 미리 예약해서 그런지 가격도 굉장히 저렴했구요. 씻을 때 수압도 좋았구요 !! 무엇보다 캐비넷이 엄청엄청 커서 편했습니다. 1유로나 2유로 넣어야 잠기는데 어차피 다시 돌려주는 시스템이라 무료에요. 그치만 방안에서는 와이파이가 안되더라구요 ㅜ ㅜ 로비? 룸밖에서만 터졌어요. 밖에서도 그렇게 잘 터지는 건 아닌것같았던 ,, 그래도 1박 편하게 잘 머물다 갔어요오 아 직원분들도 굉장히 친절하셨습니다 !

    (Translated by Google) Attention fraud !!! In itself the hostel is nice and clean, but unfortunately the staff is a disaster ... No trace of friendliness, such aggressive behavior of the employees (manager) and unfortunately also very incompetent! Absolutely not to be recommended! For a brief understanding: a friend and I checked in after a 14h arrival and got the keys and covered the beds and slept. After 2 hours the manager came (without knocking) and screamed that we would be in the wrong bed and therefore would not get a deposit for the keys back?!? (what the one has to do with the other? ka) insults fell on us and she threatened to call the police and stole both keys !!! 5 hours later the police came and gave us a house ban (because of a wrong bed)! The worst part was that it was half past midnight at night and we got € 40 refunded from € 174 for two nights ... as a justification -> cleaning fees Conclusion: 7 hours sleep for 120 €, vacation dirty, pneumonia because we had to get out at 2 degrees at night? Humanity is capitalized here !!! Horror hostel !!! Dear hostel, if you want to fix this damage please get in touch, because pulling out students is really the bottom drawer !!! (Original) Achtung Betrug!!! Ansich ist das hostel schön und sauber , nur leider die Angestellten eine Katastrophe ... Von Freundlichkeit keine Spur ,derartiges agressives verhalten der Angestellten (Managerin) und leider auch sehr Inkompet !!! Absolut nicht zu empfeheln !! Zum kurzen Verständnis : eine Freundin und ich sind nach einer 14h Anreise eingechekt, und haben uns die schlüssel geholt und die betten überzogen und geschlafen. Nach 2h kam die Managerin (ohne klopfen) und schrie das wir im falschen bett liegen würden und deshalb kein pfand für die schlüssel zurück bekommen würden ?!? ( was das eine mit dem anderen zu tun hat ?ka ) es fielen Beleidigungen uns gegenüber und sie drohte die Polizei zu rufen und entwendete beide schlüssel!!! 5h später kam die Polizei und gab uns ( wegen einem falschen bett) Hausverbot ! Das schlimmste daran war das es Nachts um halb 12 uhr war und wir von 174€ für 2 nächte 40€ zurückerstattet bekommen haben ... als begründung -> reinigungsgebüren Fazit: 7h schlaft für 120€ ,urlaub versaut , Lungenentzündung weil wir nachts bei 2 grad raus mussten ? Menschlichkeit wird hier klein geschrieben!!! Horror Hostel !!! Liebes Hostel falls ihr diesen Schaden beheben wollt bitte meldet euch, denn Studenten abziehen ist wirklich unteste Schublade !!!

    Only a short walk to the station. 10 minutes from the Cathedral. €4 for all you can eat oriental breakfast. Beds comfortable, I am over 6 foot and I fit. Bathrooms are in room and the separate toilet and shower was a treat. Staff are great!

    so far the city center, is clean, with nice workers, breakfast was 5 euros and the perfect way for the metro station was so close if you wish to go Leverkusen or your other route.

  • 4/5 Flo G. 4 years ago on Google • 34 reviews
    Great common spaces and very nice staff. The kitchen is great and very clean. The rooms are very well distributed, although the matress could be more comfortable. The wifi connection is very slow and does not reach the rooms. They have lockers in the rooms and also to leave the luggage for the day for a small fee. They sell beer a very good prices The hostel is 5 minutes walking from Köln central station and the main cathedral, perfect location.

  • 2/5 Manuel R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) centrally located and clean. But beware: staff speaks partly only English. i.e. If you hardly speak English yourself the understanding is very difficult. An employee told me he had the same problem. because you ask yourself how the understanding works together. :-) Breakfast was fine, nothing special. wlan too ok. (Original) zentral gelegen und sauber. aber achtung: personal spricht teilweise nur englisch. d.h. wenn man selber kaum englisch spricht ist die verständigung sehr schwer möglich. ein mitarbeiter erzählte mir er hätte das gleiche problem. da fragt man sich wie die verständigung untereinander klappt. :-) frühstück war in ordnung, nichts besonderes. wlan auch ok.

    (Translated by Google) To party with a group of friends. Hostel clean, but staff was pretty stoned. Unprofessional, unfortunately. Therefore, somewhere else! (Original) Mit einer Gruppe von Freunden zum feiern. Jugendherberge ganz sauber, aber Personal war ziemlicher sicher "stoned". Unprofessionell, leider. Daher nächstes mal woanders!

  • 3/5 Kaan C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) school trip. Youth hostel ok. Centrally located so close to everything. Party Mile a little further away. Not bad because we had to be there at 23 o'clock anyway. Who needs some wheed to smoke just asks the leutz of the staff. ;) (Original) klassenfahrt. Jugendgästehaus ganz ok. Zentral gelegen also alles in der Nähe. Partymeile etwas weiter weg. Nicht schlimm da wir eh um 23 uhr da sein mussten. Wer etwas wheed zum rauchen braucht fragt einfach die leutz vom personal. ;)

    (Translated by Google) Was for a business appointment in the city. There is always a Jugendherbe for a good price-performance ratio. In this case, too. The rooms are big enough for the number of people sleeping in it, the staff are super friendly and have always given good advice for the city. The breakfast was not so rich, but to get over and the Wi-Fi is only in the common areas. If it offers again, I would certainly want to use this Jugendherbe again. (Original) War für einen geschäftlichen Termin in der Stadt. Da bietet sich immer eine Jugendherbe für ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis an. Auch in diesem Fall. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß für die Anzahl an Personen die darin schlafen, das Personal super freundlich und haben immer gute Tipps für die Stadt gegeben. Das Frühstücksangebot war nicht ganz so reichhaltig, aber zu verschmerzen und das WLAN geht nur in den Aufenthaltsräumen. Sollte es sich wieder anbieten, würde ich sicher wieder diese Jugendherbe nutzen wollen.

    (Translated by Google) The hostel doesn't deserve a star !!! There were two of us here and had bed bug bites on my arms and legs in the morning. That is not how it works. Absolutely not to be recommended! Originally wanted to spontaneously extend another night, but then went to the hostel station. Staff unfriendly and denies everything. Well, thank you too! (Original) Das Hostel hat keinen Stern verdient!!! Waren zu 2. hier und hatten am morgen Bettwanzenstiche an Armen und Beinen. Das geht gar nicht. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Wollten ursprünglich noch eine Nacht spontan verlängern, sind dann aber ins Hostel Station gegangen. Personal unfreundlich und streitet alles ab. Na, vielen Dank auch!

  • 5/5 李鑑中 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Print tickets for free! There is a place to cook, very clean, only the bath towel needs to bring your own. Within 10 minutes of walking with the station, the church was seen at the door. (Original) 列印機票免費!有地方煮飯,很乾淨,只有洗澡毛巾需要自備。和車站走路10分內,門口就看得到教堂。

    (Translated by Google) Very nice hostel. Only 2-3 minutes walk from the main train station. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. The rooms are big enough and equipped with their own bathroom (WC + shower). Lockers directly in the room and very spacious. Own socket and shelf on each bed. Breakfast (buffet) is simple but good. Large kitchen available. The mattresses could be a bit more comfortable. (Original) Sehr schönes Hostel. Nur 2-3 min Fußweg vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt. Freundliches Personal und gemütliche Atmosphäre. Die Zimmer sind groß genug und mit einem eigenen Bad (WC+Dusche) ausgestattet. Schließfächer direkt im Zimmer und sehr geräumig. Eigene Steckdose und Ablagefläche an jedem Bett. Frühstück (Buffet) ist einfach aber gut. Große Küche vorhanden. Die Matratzen könnten etwas bequemer sein.

  • 1/5 Kofi J. 4 years ago on Google
    first of all I have to mention that I read some reviews about bed bugs. I sent the hostel a message before I booked to verify. I was assured that there are no bed bugs there. I booked and had bugs in my bed as well as my fellow room mates. This behaviour is absolutely disgusting. awful experience and never ever again!

  • 5/5 Екатерина �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For the first time in my life I was at a hostel. Pleasantly surprised. I arrived there at 23.00 and at 7.30 in the morning I left, so I decided not to rent the hotel cleanly for the night and take a shower. Took the room 4 people. It was 2dev. And me. Everyone came at different times. In the shower without waiting in line. Everyone left at different times in their mode. Without hustle and calm. In the dining room there is hot water for tea, just pour water into a gas bottle, microwave, refrigerator.  Everything is clean and siparvnoe. I drank tea, salad and went for a walk. I arrived at lunch and took things to the station?Relationship price and quality, convenient place near railway 5! (Original) Первый раз в жизни была в хостеле. Приятно удивлена. Я приехала туда в 23.00 и в 7.30утра ушла,поэтому решила не снимать отель чисто на ночь и принять душ. Взяла комнату 4чел. Было 2дев.и я. Все пришли в разное время. В душ без очереди. Все ушли в разное время в своем режиме. Без толкоти и спокойно. В столовой горячая вода для чая,просто вода налить в бутылку с газом,микроволновка,холодильник. Все чистое и сипарвное. Выпила чай,салат и ушла гулять. Пришла в обед забрала вещи и на вокзал?Соотношения цена и качество,удобное место рядом с жд?на 5!

  • 1/5 Pau Arias f. 2 years ago on Google
    I have made a reservation at this hostel for two nights. I arrived the first day at 11 PM and surprisingly there was no one to open the door and that door was locked, I knocked at the door , I called the hotel contact number and I ringed the nightbell but I got no response. I had to book another hotel in the middle of the night. The following day I went at 9'30 AM to the hostel the same situation happened , there was no one again to do the check in and like the night before I had to book another place to sleep. It was an unacceptable situation. Logically, I can not recommend this place to anyone.

  • 5/5 Kunze L. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a one night stay at the hostel and the experience was great. It’s located right next to The Central station so it’s very easy to reach. The kitchen and the common areas are huge. And I like that the room has its own showers and bathrooms. However, the wifi connectivity should be improved.

  • 5/5 Melissa M. 4 years ago on Google
    Beds are comfortable, staff is knowledgeable and friendly, excellent location near the central station, walking distance to the cathedral, many shops and restaurants. The hostel is huge, has a beautiful courtyard, a second floor work space, a well stocked kitchen with several cook stations, and a pretty decent breakfast with lots of options. I’ve stayed twice and made life long friends here. It’s my go to spot in western Europe.

  • 4/5 Laura K. 4 years ago on Google
    Had the room all to myself one night, a rare hostel experience. Make your own bed. Friendly staff! Big place, makes it feel kinda empty all the time. Rent the towels and pay a 4 euro deposit on them and hope your suite mates don't cash them in! One laundry machine in the luggage self storage room in the basement. Lockers in the rooms operate on 1 euro coins, so i locked my bag to the rad with a cable lock. They have a still and sparkling water machine in the kitchen area :)

  • 3/5 Carlos E. 4 years ago on Google
    There is no wifi in the rooms, only in the lobby and the dining room. Towels cost €6 each (€5 refundable). Rooms are not the warmest during winter times. Nontheless, it's location is great. 5 min walk to the Cathedral and the Central Station. Great shared kitchen and clean and spacious common areas.

    Went to the hostel saw the sign above the door went inside and the man right to the left inside the door acted all confused when I asked about the hostel and told me to leave then blocked the door, he was standing under the hostel sign... Not friendly or inviting don't recommend wasting your time.

  • 4/5 Charles O. 4 years ago on Google
    Typical YHA summer camp type feeling, multiple large eating/events areas. Decent location to cologne central. I stayed for a night during a heat wave with no aircon. Can't hold that against them as it's not standard in most of europe. Nothing bad about it but for similar price, check out hardrock motown hostel in central cologne. Alternative hotel style hostel with rooms overlooking the cathedral.

  • 1/5 Michael H. 4 years ago on Google
    Bed bugs!!! I had bites all over my leg. Staff was just saying they don't have bed bugs there. I have now realised that previous guest reviews reported about bed bugs too. Never again!!! I wish I could give a 0 star!!!

  • 3/5 J S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent location to train station. Rooms were cramped but did have a nice shower and separate toilet in the room. Beds were comfortable. Most of the locker doors in room were broken or braking. Staff were friendly but not helpful and didn't want to chat. Kitchen was well stocked and large. The hostel itself lacked soul but was alright for a short stay. Don't expect to meet other travellers here.

  • 3/5 HK N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are many central stations, cathedrals, restaurants, and delicious bakeries nearby. Great lobby, spacious storage. But it is a light for those traveling with heavy trunks. Since there is no elevator, you may be injured while trying to lift heavy luggage. The wheels of my trunk eventually broke down ... (Original) 근처에 중앙역, 대성당, 맛집도 많고, 맛빵집도 있고, 수퍼마켓도 조금 걸어가면 있어서 편했습니다. 넓은 로비, 넓은 보관함 좋았어요. 하지만 무거운 트렁크를 갖고 여행하는 분들에게는 비추입니다. 엘리베이터가 없으니 무거운 짐 올리려다가 다칠 수도 있습니다. 제 트렁크는 바퀴가 결국 고장났습니다...

    (Translated by Google) If you do not need the comfort of a hotel and stay in Cologne for a few days, this place is highly recommended. The staff is friendly, the rooms and showers are very clean. Should problems arise, they will be resolved immediately and effectively. Since I did not take breakfast, I cannot rate this. But it looked good :). The location is very lucrative with a few minutes' walk to the main train station and consequently also to the cathedral, and makes it easy to explore the cathedral city. Gladly again. (Original) Wer den Komfort eines Hotels nicht benötigt und für ein paar Tage in Köln bleibt, ist dieser Ort sehr empfehlenswert. Das Personal ist freundlich, dazu sind die Zimmer und Duschen sehr sauber. Sollten Probleme auftreten, werden diese sofort und effektiv behoben. Da ich das Frühstück nicht in Anspruch genommen habe, kann ich dies nicht bewerten. Es sah aber gut aus :). Die Lage ist mit wenigen Fußminuten zum Hauptbahnhof und folglich auch zum Dom sehr lukrativ und ermöglicht ein unkompliziertes Erkunden der Domstadt. Gerne wieder.

The facilities are clean and the water is warm and it is recommended for women.

    It's not new for me to stay at Youth hostels. They are a great group for backpackers. Youth hostel India organises even trekking n cycle expeditions for members apart from hostels. It has reasonable price and pretty much near to Main station. Everything else also seems to be in walking distance.
