Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The property was in a lovely quiet suburb of Cologne. It is a 4 minute walk to the train station, where a 15 minute ride has you right in the city centre. The property has everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Pleasant host, comfortable beds and ample kitchen equipment. The terrace was an added bonus.

    Tho hotel has a great location- just a few steps from the city center and the river. It was very quiet area as well. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished, the staff polite and speaking English. We had some drinks in the lobby- the barista was very kind, cocktails great! There is on site parking, which was very convenient. Please keep in mind that for the parking the fee should be paid separately and not included in the price of the room.
