There is no parking lot, the elevator is out of service, and there is no bathroom in the room. It is a shared bathroom, which means you have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, and you have to open your own door and go out to find the toilet. If you want to take a shower, you have to queue up and wait for others to finish before you can go in. This is simply not a hotel, not even a carriage shop. Not to mention asking me to pay to stay here again, even if I'm asked to stay here for free, I won't agree. Four of us carried eight suitcases from the first floor to the sixth floor. The hotel does not have front desk service, or the front desk service is only available until 9:30 in the evening. If you want to check in later than 9:30, you must go to the bar front desk to find a waiter for self-service check-in. The surrounding environment is also very dirty and messy, and it doesn't look like Germany at all. I regret very much, why did I choose this hotel? Fortunately, I only stayed for two nights and decided to cancel the stay, complain and switch to another hotel. I strongly don't recommend anyone else to stay here unless you want to make it difficult for yourself. The quilt in the room is also very small. It cannot cover myself in a lifetime and is always left out to dry in the middle of the night. Coupled with the lack of heating in the room, these two nights were a disaster. Even if I want to ask for more quilts, I can't find the waiter because they get off work at 9:30. Life again, this is not a hotel, not even an inn, at most it is a carriage shop.

Such a great spot would heavily recommend. The rooms were so comfortable and the beds where way bigger than any other hostel Ive stayed in. The bar downstairs is lovely and the whole area around it was great. Staff was super friendly and the whole vibe of the place was great.

Really comfortable, clean and secure. My first solo travel experience and I was anxious about how secure my belongings would be. I couldn't have been happier with the accommodation. For such a popular and busy bar, noise was relatively nonexistent.

I only stayed one short night in that hostel but I wish I could have stayed a bit longer. I booked a dorm in the ballroom one, women only, the booth was great. Comfy and very large bed for one person, tablet/light/plug for the phone, everything I needed once I was up there. I could put my valued belongigs in a closed locker which was really appreciated. The key in the lift to the hostel was given me a feeling of safety which is always good when you travel solo. The common room was decorated with taste, I didn't use it but a kitchen is always of good use in a hostel. For the price it was a real bargain, I highly recommend this hostel !

I stayed here for 5 nights as a base to explore Cologne and Dusseldorf and Aachen and Trier. It was just relaxing, the beds were nicely partitioned and comfortable, reception staff were very welcoming, the location itself is in a nice neighbourhood and a short ride away on public transport from the city centre, there's a little convenience store a few doors down to buy beers and basic goods, and also other useful shops in the area, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the Hahnentor at Rudolfplatz where I joined a free walking tour. The bar was well away from the dorm rooms, so there was no noise and it was very comfortable to sleep.

5 days before my arrival that I booked in advance 4 months, they have cancelled it, because there was a water problem with my room, so they transfered me to another hostel lower in quality, commodities, cleaning and location. When I asked more details about this new accomodation, specifically about the room they booked for me, they answered me: "we can not give you this information". There was a mistery... So, I was not able to accept to be in a hostel room which I didn't know anything about (what room it was, it was shared or not, if yes, how many people would be there) simple questions that I didn't get answers to. The hostel cancelled my reservation with no excuse. there is lack of transparency and communication from this hostel. I do not recommend it. If you are not sure about it, book somewhere else.

The hotel does have private rooms available, so that's what we got for our family with younger kids. The location is out of the city centre, but public transport made this distance less of an issue. The hostel is still located with a lot of local places of interest too. (over the road if one of the best cafes I've been to for breakfast anywhere I've stayed - Cafe Buur) The staff were helpful, and easy to speak with. We had booked a different room to the one we got, and had a lot less space. Each bunk still allowed us decent privacy and we slept well. The common areas are kept very clean too. Each room has a unique decoration theme - ours was the circus.

The staff were amazing, the rooms (they have double beds instead of single beds, with amazing curtains and big enough storage) were great and facilities were nice and clean. The location was good, with public transport easily accessible (and cheap with the 9 euro ticket). Although, the breakfast to me, was not worth the price, but there are lots of options around the hostel.
