Close to everything. Easy to get to the city center and the Hbf. Easy to check in and get to the room. Turned out it I had bedbugs in the room, so I’m covered in bites. But we solved it on the hostel. You hear everything, so the dudes that showered on Saturday to Sunday at like 1 and singing I could hear it all.

The location of the hostel was ideal, walking distance to everything. My group stayed in a quad room and it was neat and clean.

Cheap and basic
The accommodation is cheap and basic but is conveniently situated with a 5min walk of the railway station. The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable but the bar area was tatty and dull with ripped sofas and I feel there should have been more toilets. Only 2 on each floor so often occupied.

8/10 Very good

location was great and in a very close distance to the train station. and the central attractions. Cleanliness, was good for the amount paid. bed linings were clear and ready to be fitted to the bed by ownself. Staff were helpful but very busy all the time dealing with customers. Facilities needed for a backpacker were sufficient: WiFi, Socket, Space to sit and eat and work and enjoy the time. Bar and reception area was however, noisy and tiny and crowded most of the times. Happy to come again if needed for a low budget visit to the city.

I know hostels can be noisy, but screaming and shouting at 2am, 4am and 6am was too much even for me. Even the earplugs I had didn’t block it out. Staff were great though, would just be nice to see some ‘Be respectful of other guests’ signage around to remind the serial shouters.

In general the place hasn't been well maintained?The smell in some rooms are not inviting and the rooms are not properly cleaned!!

Had a single room next to showers. The isolation was so bad that each time someone took a shower, it felt like it was happening in the room. There was no ventilation either and the outside was too noisy with the window open. Did not get much sleep. The toilets were not clean.

The whole property, although in a nice neighborhood, appears shabby and grimy. The mattress should have been replaced years ago, and it sagged and gave me a back-ache when I got up, which affected my holiday.

THE noisiest and most unruly property in Cologne.
Sadly I had a terrible experience at the Station Hostel. I booked 3 months in advance for a private room for a 2 night midweek stay during my trip to Germany. The location is absolutely fantastic, just minutes from the main station. Check in was friendly and efficient and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. Super clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, nice big windows allowing plenty of light. Small desk and a lovely compact small toilet and shower. Bedding, towels and toiletries were provided and a modest €1 is charged per extra towel if you need more than one. The common areas on the ground floor are lovely and the bar / restaurant is cosy and very welcoming. This could have been such a pleasant experience. It wasn’t the hotel that ruined it, it was the groups of teens staying in the rooms around me. I had room 409. Rooms 410,411 and 412 had students in them who partied and misbehaved until well after 4am. I got absolutely no sleep for doors slamming, furniture being thrown about, shouting, swearing, screaming, running and fighting in the hall ways, banging on walls….. it was absolutely AWFUL. They behaved like animals with total disrespect for any other guests trying to sleep. Sadly the staff leave at midnight and so there isn’t anyone there to deal with noise complaints and people can simply behave as they wish. I left to go about my day the next day but felt tired and came back to try and have a nap in the afternoon, however the party had started a

Schmutzige / ungereinigte Sanitäranlagen
Die sanitären Einrichtungen (Dusche, WC) waren die ganze Zeit so schmutzig / ungereinigt, dass eine Benutzung unzumutbar war. Als ich mich an die Rezeption wendete und auf so schmutzige / ungereinigte Sanitärräume verwies, meinte man achselzuckend, das Reinigungspersonal hätte sich krankheitsbedingt abgemeldet und so sei eine Reinigung nicht durchführbar - man verwies mich dann so, dass ich trotz meines Zimmers auf dem 2. OG mich auf den anderen Etagen umschauen solle , ob irgendwo ein WC wäre , was irgendwie noch erträglich wäre - ansonsten meinte man zu mir , dass normalerweise die Sanitäreinrichtungen !!!!! alle 2 Tage !!!!! mal durchgewischt werden , was angesichts von so vielen Gästen , die die WCs gemeinsam nutzen , auch eine ZUMUTUNG ist . Offenbar ist man in diesem Hostel in der Lage , die hohen Zimmerpreise zu kassieren , ohne sich um die Sauberkeit der sanitären Anlagen zu kümmern. Nie wieder so ein Hostel, in dem es so schmutzig ist und wo einem bereits auf den Etagengängen ein extremer Gestank nach Urin entgegenschlägt, wenn man nur an den WCs vorbeigeht.

運が悪かったのか、修学旅行と思われる子供(中学生か高校生か)の集団と同じ日に泊まることになってしまった。夜19時ごろから24時ぐらいまで、廊下を走り回り、ドアをばたばた開け閉めし、奇声がするのを我慢しなければならなかった。とても寝付ける状況ではなかった。 ホテルのスタッフの対応はよく、ドイツ語が全く話せず、英語もカタコトの自分の会話をちゃんと理解してくれた。 ホテルでは無くホステルなので、アメニティ類は最低限(バスタオル一枚と、シャンプーらしきもの。洗面所にはハンドソープ)しか無いので、必要であれば街中で調達すべき。 子供の件がなければ、バックパッカー向けの宿としては問題ありません。

Ich werde wiederkommen
Die Lage des Hostels ist super. Die Ausstattung spartanisch. Während des heißen Sommerwetters wäre - wenn schon keine Klimaanlage vorhanden ist - wenigstens ein Ventilator angenehm. Aber ich werde wieder ein Zimmer in diesem Hostel buchen.
