Solid hostel, just not much happenings at night, just a few beers in the relatively small bar which is a good thing since it forces you to meet people. Good for a few nights. Clean

The hostel was nice and clean. it was not very social but we slept well there and the staff was friendly. There are keycards to get into the rooms and lockers as well, so it is secure. Don't expect to meet too many people here though, it was quiet (at least when we were there)

A very nice stay at the hostel - a good hot shower, free wireless (though a little slow) and is actually only a 15 minute walk from the Hbf. Would stay again.

Free laundry facilities are excellent, you just have to supply your own washing powder. Brekkie is good too.

It's a bit far from the city 'center' but in an area with great bars and restaurants. The hostel is hotel-clean, a little cramped and a little enforced in the common/bar area. Hotel drinks only. Staff are helpful, good english.

But on the whole it was a lovely hostel cheap close to the center and cheap!close

When you get to Rudolphplatz you need to turn left past Dresdner Bank then cross the road opposite the Cologne Hotel. When you're on the side with the hotel, facing it, turn to your left and cross that road. Walk a little way then on your left is Engelbertstrasse, the one with the hostel on. Just keep walking down it and the hostel's on the right hand side. Or use a map.close

Great Hostel with good Kitchen. I'd suggest checking out the kitchen before you decide to pay for the breakfast. Breakfast was good too though. Washing machine in Kitchen was a plus, and the dryer was far too slow but there's a laundry place down the road that drys your clothes super fast....

They have a bar which is always opened but i never found any great atmosphere there. The hostel is inside a neighbourhood so you have to be very careful (i would say so much for the type of accomodation you are staying) with noise rules or the reception guy will visit you often.They clean daily so everything is really clean!close

50's decor throughout makes it a little gloomy, but location is close to nightlife and public transport. Bar/Lounge could use some updating.

Everything you expect from a german hostel chain. Efficient and basic. No real highlights or lows from this hostel except for the stupid receptonist who sent us 20 minutes in the wrong direction to find a laundry with ALL of our clothes.

This place is more like a hotel than hostel, they even provided towels! They supplied an excellent breakfast and was located near everything. They also had an excellent luggage storage room. We really enjoyed our stay.
