I stayed here for four nights during carnival and I lived the place! It's far away enough from the insanity that you can sleep and yet close enough, you can be in the middle of the craziness in minutes with the subway. The rooms were clean and the showers exceptional for a hostel. Everyone who works there is friendly and... More

Since we wanted a place to stay in Köln-Ehrenfeld, this was the place to be for us. My wife and I stayed here with our 3 months old infant and it went very well. We stayed in a 4 bed room but did not have to pay the full price. We got a bed including sheets for free which was... More

I found this hostel on internet and came here during my bike-trip through Germany. It was quite okay. My dorm had an own shower and toilet, which was a big plus. On the other hand, the rooms are quite small, the corridors a bit dark and the wifi-system too complicated. Unfortunately I felt a bit ill, so I didn't try... More

After spending 2 hours looking for this hostel on Venloer Strasse ( because a taxi driver gave us the wrong number so we walked the entire street about 3 times, including getting the Ubanh to save time) we arrived and were warmly welcomed. You have to pay 20€ when you are given the key, and towels are 1€ each. the... More
