Traveller reviews

“Herr Lehmann going Köln”
26 Jul 2025
It was one of the best trips of life. I went to Cologne all alone for the concert. And the hostel brought amazing lovely people to me. The kitchen was the best room in the whole building. And free breakfast they offer can double down as free dinner or lunch (depends when you wake up) Staff is very friendly and answers all the questions one might have, as well as accommodate all the needs. It was unbelievably hot during my stay, and they provided fans for every room. Real good location, a few minutes away from the cathedral(by tram) and nearby grocery stores open till midnight. On the way to the city center from the hostel you'll find all the fun pubs and student districts and overall very memorable visit.

“Convenient stay in Ehrenfeld neighbourhood”
18 Jul 2025
The location is convenient, in a local neighbourhood and right next to the Pius Strasse metro stop. Reception hrs are limited, but guests have a code for the main door and a key for the room. Guests can make breakfast there, with a coffee machine, bread, fresh cheese spread and good jam, a real plus.

“Enjoyed the stay in koln good guidance given by the hostel staff about the city.”
