Very pleasant staff, very helpful! Breakfast room light and bright with good breakfast for this hotel category. The problem for me was, no sleep without ear plugs. Very bad soundproofing. You hear every step from the corridor, and adjacent rooms. Would not recommend to any 'light sleeper'.

I had several mailconversations with the staff booking this ho(s)tel. When we arrived they said we had had an offer but did never confirm (even though I had it on mail). Luckily there was a family room left so that we could stay. We choose this hotel because of the family rooms. In our case (105 on first floor) there... More

Overall, we (family of four) really liked this place. Great convenience to shopping, sightseeing but really hard to find without a GPS. Pros: Easily the best breakfast buffet we encountered on our two week journey through Europe. The breakfast @ €6.00 per person was affordable for an unlimited buffet. The room was modern and decently furnished. Typically German where nothing... More

This looked to be a great hostel. Big modern rooms with very functional and large bathrooms. Unfortunately, the beds are uncomfortable and the pillows even worse. But the main reason I didn't like this hotel was the incompetence of the house keepers and the rudeness of the reception staff. The housekeepers accused us of moving the tv and scratching, but...

We stayed in hostel Koln with a group of 12 persons, 2 families. We had 4 rooms, all of them very clean and nice. It looks (and perhaps is) brand new! Staff members were very helpfull and friendly. The hostel is situated near the centre of Koln, a few minutes walk from one of the bigger christmas markets. Breakfast was... More

We traveled to Koln with our visiting adult son from where we live near Amsterdam. Generally speaking, this place is pretty fantastic for budget accommodations. It's clean, every staff member we encountered was polite, pleasant, and helpful, the location is excellent, and we were more or less comfortable. Further, the breakfast was plenty satisfactory given its basic, continental nature. Also... More

My wife and I came for a trip to the christmas markets and chose Hostel Koln because of the price and the great reviews.....we were not disappointed. We don't usually stay in Hostels but like the other reviews say it is not like a hostel, more like a mid range hotel. Really really clean, everything looks brand new. Breakfast was... More

The hostel Köln is very good situated in a little side street near one of the main subway stations. The staff is very friendly, and the rooms perfectly clean. The breakfast is pretty simply but wholesome and you get hot coffee there. All in all nothing for those looking for something to relax in, but ideal for a city trip... More

We (group size - 5) went to Koln for a couple of days and we booked Hostel Koln. We'd initially booked for 6 people but 1 person dropped out and I didn't think to call ahead to notify the hostel thinking we'd still need to pay the full price. However, they only charged us full price for one night and... More

Trying to find a place to stay during conferences in Cologne can be a challenge. I came across the hostel and wouldn't have normally though of staying here simply due to the name. I'm glad that I did stay here. Great staff, location and breakfast. The rooms are very clean and modern and the wifi works well.
