Location is great. There is luggage storage space but can be hard to find a staff to help. Room was nice and comfortable, definitely an upgrade type of stay for backpackers.

This hotel is decent value for money. Located very close to the cathedral, main station and old town. Lots of nearby places to eat. Room was a decent size although the bathroom felt cramped. Good shower, good WiFi, mattress a bit soft but still comfy. Excellent pillows.Very limited storage but plenty of plug sockets. Clean but poor attention to detail, eg a hair on the duvet. Good blackout curtains but poor internal sound proofing. Heating works well Seriously fiddly and annoying computerised check in but the staff are very nice. Overall I think this hotel is absolutely fine if staying for a single night and i would stay here again but I'd explore other options for a longer stay.

Really convenient location (a few steps from Koln central train station). Small room, friendly staff. Sheets were a little bit old and walls were dirty.

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!

The worst hotel that I have stayed ever , mini room , no bed sheet even short of bath towels, no A/C, totally a nightmare ….
2-night trip

6/10

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.

WOW!! I mean if I had been reviewing this on what i paid - £300 per night, it would be getting minus 5 stars but I am reviewing it based on say an average £50 per night room rate. First of all the positives. The location is great, very central and noise levels are actually very low around there considering. The rooms seemed fairly clean and the bed was quite comfortable (if not a little basic). So now we get to the negatives. We arrived (having booked twin beds) and given room 402 which after walking 4 floors we found out was one double bed (no room around the bed to walk, literally the room was the size of the bed). We went back downstairs and after about 5 minutes we were given 408. So back upstairs we went but even worse this time the room was actually occupied (no people but a lovely laptop and phone if we had been that way inclined). So back we went again and this time given room 203 which again was two twin beds basically crammed together like a double with no room to walk around the outside. I have no idea what the room pictured is of but it certainly isn't the rooms we saw at this hotel. The rooms aren't like prison cells, they are a lot smaller than prison cells. I mean it is basically a bed and nothing else. Michael at front desk looked like he had been left on his own to manage the whole operation and couldn't look more disinterested if he tried, he did at least find our booking. Worst hotel experience - For the price - Absolutely the worst ever

Hostelin konumu mükemmel. Hiç toplu tasımaya binmeden her yeri gezdik. Hostelde iki gece kaldık. Temizlik mukemmeldi. Kahvaltı yeterliydi. Çalısanlar guler yüzlüydü. Daha ne olsun.

Great staff, always welcoming, smiling, polite and very helpful, especially with the luggage that we store before the check-in and after the checkout. The hotel can't be in a most convenient location

Das Hostel hat eine super Lage, direkt am Kölner Dom. Mein Zimmer war nach hinten heraus und sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich. Das Frühstück war ok, eine kleine Auswahl, aber ausreichend. Für einen Wochenendtrip eine gute Adresse.

Oda resimde gösterilenden küçüktü, hatta o kadar küçüktü ki tuvaletin kapısı açılmıyor ve yatağa çarpıyordu. İlk gün kaloriferler bozuk olduğundan oda soğuktu ancak ısıtıcı ile telafi ettiler. Kısa kalışlar için uygun ancak 3 günden sonra konforsuz olabilir. Temiz ve her yere yakındı.

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!
