✓ A well run hostel. I would be happy to use it again.
✓ Good location
✗ Too many stairs for an old man🤣
✓ Nice affordable place to stay in Köln. The neighborhood is full of bars and restaurants with delicious food. It is about a 20 min walk away from the Kölner Dom. Would highly recommend for a short stay!
✗ Everything was as described.
✓ The hostel has a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff
✗ The door to the bathroom didn’t have a lock, which made me avoid showering
✓ I arrived late, and the staff helped me to self-access into my room, even if it was after check-in hours. I really appreciate it. And the effort of calling me in advance to check everything was alright.
✓ Great location next to the metro station that takes you into the centre.
✗ The room was quite warm with no cooling apart from the window.
✓ Strassenbahn access, neighbourhood.
✗ Water-saving device, lack of towels, needed to change rooms, only single beds in most rooms.
✓ Good location, good staff, clean facility.
