  Old, dirty and very noisy

  Liked: The location is very central and the staff seemed friendly.

  Disliked: The walls are so thin that you can hear the conversation and snoring of the room next to you. The walls in the room were full of stains. The shower and toilet are old and dirty with random broken and rusty furniture. The middle shower on the second floor doesn’t lock. The place looks in a bad state. Even though it’s one of the cheaper places in Cologne, I think it was too much money for the actual value. I was physically attacked by another guest and complained about it. You would expect it to be top priority but didn’t hear anything from them afterwards.

  Too bad

  Liked: Only the location is good. But the S-Bahn noise is very bothersome.

  Disliked: Because of my name, I was forced to share a room with four men. To make matters worse, everyone else was snoring very loudly. I couldn’t close my eyes for even a second all night long due to the noise. Furthermore, the toilets are never cleaned; I even contracted an infection there. The bathrooms are in the same state. There isn’t even any soap in the restrooms.

  great location

  Liked: amazing location, friendly staff, even tho it is weird bur the fact that it isn't bunk beds is really nice and comfy. bathroom is ok and they have lift which is great. the location is the best detail. you can walk anywhere and just next to the catedral and the hauptnamhof.

  Disliked: it could be cleaner and my roommates didn't really respect the silence hours os maybe it should be a bit more strict.

  Für eine Nacht ist es okay

  Liked: Close to the train station and Cologne city centre (cathedral, shops, etc.).

  Disliked: The floor wasn't completely clean when we arrived in the room. Otherwise, everything was okay. Another downside was the extremely thin walls. You could hear absolutely everything, even people talking in the room next door.

  Liked: It was truly clean, did not understand some of the reviews on about how it wasn’t clean. There were always cleaning staff cleaning something. Rather it was the rooms, bathrooms, or halls. It was very close to the train station, leaving it being 5 minutes away walking distances.
