Cracking hostel, ideal for groups who just need a place to sleep and wash. Great location. Could do with some extractor fans in the rooms, after a lot of drinking and sausage munching, a room of 6 guys soon becomes a bit of a cesspit! Only concern was that they allowed Scott McIntyre to reside there for 3 nights. Although... More

The hotel is suitably located. A tram station is very close (three minutes walk) to the hotel. We preferred to walk, and the walk to the main attraction (Dom) is around 20 minutes. The hotel has all basic facilities (including a cash machine). The bar is open all night and the place is very lively and clean. The staff are... More

We stayed at the A&O hostel for 2 nights. The rooms were spacious and very clean and provided enough room for all travelers. The bathrooms were very small but we are used to European bathrooms so it was okay. Our room over looked the road and on a Saturday night I could hear people outside all night. I am a... More

Excellent for it's price. One has everything needed, no more , no less. Clean, good bed, basic Ikea-style furniture, no allergy problems, had quite nights. If you wish to have a cheap stay, absolutely top!

It's in a good location, the nearest U-Bahn is probably Zülpicher Platz but Rudolfplatz is also a short walk away (neither are more than 8... More

Rooms are bright, clean, modern and well equipped. Friendly and helpful staff and generally very good facilities. Very reasonably priced food and drink from the 24 hour bar. Good location not far from centre and with excellent transport links. Close to shops, bars and restaurants with a Lidl supermarket just a couple of minutes walk away. Pool table, games etcetera...

Just returned from trip to Christmas market in Cologne purchased through Easyjet - myself, husband and 15 year old daughter. A & O a little bit like a Travel Lodge in England with regards to facilities. Our room was basic, but clean and warm. Beds comfortable and bedding clean. No problems with noise. Separate shower/sink and toilet/sink which was great... More

Just stayed at the hostel for one night as I passed through cologne. Price was about 20 bucks cheaper than the cheapest Hotel and while you get what you pay for, you still sleep and chill decent. Room, shower, wc, looby was clean and well organized. Staff was friendly and funny. Only setback was the breakie, as it lacked inspiration,... More
