I stayed here in December on a busy weekend in Cologne, mostly due to all of the famous Christmas markets. The hostel is within walking distance to almost anything you’d like to see in Cologne. Also only about a half mile’s walk from the hauptbahnhof for travelers. The hostel is kept so clean and ran so well that it feels like you’ve gotten a great bargain on a hotel. It can be tricky to locate the hostel as it shares a building with many other businesses. The door is hidden between a convenience store and café and reached by elevator or stairs. –hairdryers and towels can be borrowed. –lockable closets are in each room. –washers and dryers are available. –full kitchen provided.
