As the name implies, it is a hostel. No lifts within the building. Room was very basic and only had one hanger for clothes. Prices were steep due to competing conventions.
At least A&O is a major chain and the staff were pleasant. Otherwise it’s very no frills so at a cheap price, it’s worth a stay. Will return if there are no other options.

Location of hotel is quite near to Cologne Central Station. The hotel is abit old and there is no elevator available. We had to struggle to carry our heavy luggage all the way to 3rd level which is very tough. Room is big but no air con.

The room was incredibly spacious; I was truly amazed. This is rare in European hotels. I wanted to just lie on the floor and roll around! It's close to attractions, within walking distance of the cathedral, art museum, and Hohenzollern Bridge. Reviews mentioned noise from passing trains at night, but I didn't hear any. I did hear the sound of suitcases being dragged around in the early morning, probably because it's near the road. The front desk offers hot water, juice, and coffee, and the German pork knuckle restaurant recommended by the staff was super nice.

The location is decent; there are two shops nearby, though it's a bit far from Cologne Cathedral. Although it's a small hotel, it's quite comfortable and convenient.

The hotel is a five-minute walk from the station. It was already late when we arrived at Cologne Station. There was still someone on duty at 1:30 pm, which was very good. Check-in and check-out were simple. Although not luxurious, the price/performance ratio was very good👍

It's very close to the train station, a 5-10 minute walk. The building is a bit old and the soundproofing is not very good, so there is noise when the train passes by at night. The bed is very soft, and the single room is spacious, with a bathtub and sofa.

Cleanliness: Clean and hygienic.
Ambience: Average, but a bit noisy when trains arrive, as it's located next to the train station.

Since it's the oldest a&o in Cologne, the furnishings are a bit dated, and there's no elevator, making it difficult to transport large suitcases to the upper floors. However, there's a locked luggage room on the ground floor, which is extremely convenient. Drinks are available around the clock, and the pancake machine at the breakfast buffet is great. What we liked best, though, was Berk's friendly and helpful manner at the reception desk. Thank you so much!

Overall, I was very satisfied with the hotel. We arrived late, and the friendly front desk staff was very helpful. They explained that there was no elevator on the third floor, so they upgraded us to a family room. The room was spacious, and it was very convenient to get water in the restaurant morning and evening. The hotel is also very conveniently located near the central train station! It was a little noisy from the occasional passing train, but otherwise, I was very satisfied! Highly recommended!

The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the main train station (5 minutes) and Cologne Cathedral (8 minutes). The double room is very spacious. The luggage storage is a coin locker, 2 euros a day, which is relatively cost-effective.

The hotel is located away from the central station and very close to Cologne Cathedral (it might be a bit difficult to find for the first time). Since the suitcase is heavy and large, the handsome guy at the front desk helped to carry the luggage upstairs. Free hot water and coffee are provided downstairs. Welcome water and chocolates are also given. The double bed room is of good size.

The location is excellent, a 5-minute walk from the train station and cathedral. The room was very basic but clean. The front desk was friendly and helpful, and we had free coffee and hot water. There's no elevator, and the proximity to the train station might not be suitable for those with noise sensitivity. However, it was convenient for us.
