I quite liked this place for the price. Location could NOT have been better!!! It was such a perfect location! Staff was amazing and so helpful!! There was a tinnny elevator which was so helpful to get the luggage to the room. It was clean, and beds pretty comfortable. My sons bed was more comfortable then mine, mine had a weird lump/roll in the middle. It was verrrrry hot to sleep here. No ac as most places in Germany. I did bring along a little USB fan that I bought before heading to Germany that has been extremely helpful. It was loud outside. But that is to be expected so close to the downtown core/cathedral. And I wouldn’t change it for the location! We had to park about 10 min away in a parking garage which was the only downside. Other than that. Amazing place!

Do Not Disturb!
Basic hotel room, clean and simple. However... cleaning staff need to learn what the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door means, and not let themselves in and wake me up 3 times!

Minimal service but it is OK
There was one bath towel in the room. No other towels. There were soap bottles provided, one for the washbasin and one for the shower. The labels are different but the contents are the same. The bed is small enough to roll down, and there is only one power supply. Free wifi and heating are supplied, sufficient for a night's stay or so.

Location is good as it’s close to many attractions. However, the soundproofing of the rooms is bad. You can hear every noise from the surrounding rooms

The location is perfect. It’s only walking distance from the train station and a stone throw away from the Cologne Cathedral. If you will only stay for a quick visit, this is good enough to have a descent sleep because it’s very basic. What is importent, we have a place to stay & sleep comfortably after touring around Cologne. We are not a very fuzzy travelers. That’s why this is good enough for us.

Comfortable in Great Location
The room was small but spotlessly clean and the beds were really comfortable. All we did was sleep and shower in the room so no need for any extras. The private bathroom was also spotless. The hostel is perfectly located beside the main train station and the Cathedral so within short walking distance of eating/drinking and shopping.

Just a hop, skip and a jump from the Dom, and so close to the train station as well. Also you could rent a fan at the front desk. We only stayed for a night but would have been happy to stay longer at the hostel. First rate.
