Excellent stay in an excellent hostel

This is a gem of a hostel, you can't go wrong. We had a 6 bed room to ourselves and, while initially looking a little on the cramped side, it was no bother at all as we mainly spent our time out and about. Spotlessly clean, great en suite shower, firm mattresses (which I thought were great, but guess that's down to personal preference!) The hostel is a 25 min walk from the centre of Cologne (Dom & railway station etc) and located a few mins walk from the buzzing Belgian Quarter, but still manages to be quiet on a night. The reception staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great too. Highly recommended.

Bon hôtel globalement

C'est un bon hôtel, les chambres sont simples mais propres et sans fautes de goût. Le petit déjeuner est varié. La salle manque un peu de charme. Mais cela reste du détail. Le seul point négatif : les vitres ne sont pas en double vitrage et j'ai été éveillé par les bruits. Mais globalement c'est un bon hôtel, je le recommande.

eher Hotel als Hostel

Sehr gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis! Allerdings würde ich von einem Zimmer in der 4. Etage abraten, da das Frühstücksbuffet in der 5. Etage ist und es deshalb morgens laut wird. Außerdem ist die Straße recht laut.
