Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is centrally located near the Hauptbahnhof in Cologne which is great those looking to explore the city or who are traveling. The rooms themselves were well up-kept. Everything extra that was needed (blanket, pillow, sheets) were provided and a towel was rentable (€6 total, €1 fee, €5 pfand). The property’s kitchen and ‘lounge area’ were also well maintained. If you are looking to cook, the kitchen seems to be a great space and is quite large. The ‘lounge’ area has vending machines (for drinks and snacks) and a foosball table (kickertisch). In regards to the sleeping experience- you get what you pay for. The bed was doable, but don’t expect luxury. All around, this was a great stay and very affordable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a short stay in Cologne.

Friendly staffs and comfortable room

初めてホステルを利用しましたが、スタッフさんはみんな優しく、同室のゲストさんも静かで良い人でした。駅からもさほど遠くなく料金もリーズナブルでした。また機会があれば泊まりたいと思います。 It was the first time to stay "hostel" for me. The staffs were friendly, the guests who were the same room were can and good guys. The hostel was not so far from Cologne Hbf, but the fee was reasonable as well. If I have chance to go to cologne, I want to stay this hostel again. Thanks a lot;)

Sophisticated hostel close to main train station

For my first experience in a hostel, I think it was extremely satisfying. The room and adjacent bathroom were super clean and in new condition. You received new bed sheets on arrival and paid a 5 euro deposit on a towel which was returned at check out. Breakfast buffet was simple but cheap for an extra 4 euro. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The only thing I am to complain about was the wifi - it was slow and needed constant re-logging in which was quite annoying. Didn’t load videos/Netflix. Other than that, everything was great!

Budget stay, ideal for short break.

It's a hostel but the rooms are spotlessly clean and it's quiet and affordable. just a couple of minutes walk from the main train station, cathedral and alter markt. I'd absolutely stay here again. bring your own towels or you'll have to rent them and you have to collect your bed linen and put it on the bed yourself.

Excellelent location

Was in Cologne for one night two days. Excellent location, very near to central train station. The check-in and check-out were smooth, the room, corridors and dining areas were spotless clean. No noise in the room, had great sleep. Lockers are provided in the room and also they keep luggage after checkout. Breakfast was average. They also hire cycle for 10 Euros (24 hours), I hired it and cycled from Cologne to Bonn and back on the same day. The cycle was sturdy and withstood the 65 Kilometres ride. Will recommend Pathpoint Cologne Backpacker Hostel to all..
