    I recently stayed at a hostel in Cologne and had a great experience. The location was perfect, with a huge supermarket just across the street and the city center not too far away. The dorm rooms were comfortable and I loved the privacy curtains around each bed. It was also convenient to have individual lamps and plug sockets. The kitchen was well-equipped and clean, and there was even leftover food available for guests to use. I had a positive stay and would definitely recommend this hostel.

    My recent stay at the Black Sheep in Cologne was absolutely wonderful. I was in town for a quick business trip and stayed for two nights. The hotel staff, particularly Sven, were incredibly helpful and provided clear information and exceptional support. I also loved the fact that the kitchen was accessible even during the night, offering convenience and flexibility. The hostel has great potential for future growth and could easily transform into a fantastic hotel. Moreover, it offered great value for money, making my stay truly enjoyable.

    I strongly recommend this hotel.

The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help out. The hostel had a small common room and outdoor terrace where guests could socialize and relax. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore the city. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Cologne.

Plus, the breakfast offers a variety of options and is a great way to start the day. the hotel provides convenient amenities and a comfortable stay.

    The hostel had a communal kitchen with all necessary appliances including a fridge, oven, stove, microwave, and sink. Plates and utensils were also provided. the check-in process was self-service with a code for the front door, and the key was left at the front desk. There was a grocery store conveniently located across the street. the hostel was within a 30-minute walk from the cathedral. the bunk beds had large mattresses and curtains for privacy. the living kitchen area was great for preparing food. it was a good experience for people who like karaoke and casinos.

    Felt so comfortable, no complaints whatsoever.

    my early morning flight was made much easier with a stay at a hostel in cologne that exceeded my expectations. comfy beds, convenient location, and a friendly manager made for a great experience.

    Key mix-up caused a frustrating hour wait.

    The hostel was conveniently located near the city center and a big shopping area. It was also close to the Southern railway station, making it easy to get around. The rooms and linens were clean, which was a pleasant surprise.

    The common premises, such as the kitchen, toilets, and showers, were quite old and not very clean. The breakfast offered was minimal and not well-served.

    Convenient location for exploring, close to public transportation. Perfect for backpackers who love the challenge of carrying heavy bags. Necessary safety features for when I inevitably set something on fire while cooking.

    Who needs air conditioning or ventilation when you can enjoy the lovely smell of pee and the sounds of street noise all night?

    The hotel's central location was a definite highlight for us. We were just steps away from the stunning Cologne Cathedral, which impressed both us and the kids with its grandeur. The nearby Hohenzollern Bridge provided breathtaking views of the Rhine River, and we loved watching the sunset while walking hand in hand with our children. The charming streets of the Old Town were bustling with friendly locals and unique shops, giving us a taste of the city's vibrant culture. Exploring Cologne's historical landmarks and enjoying family-friendly attractions was an unforgettable experience made possible by the hotel's prime location.

    For dads, it would be great to have a small play area or dedicated space for children within the hotel premises.

    We had a great stay at a nice little hostel in a very convenient location. It wasn't right in the center, but there was a tram just outside the door making it easy to get around. the hostel was reasonably clean and the staff was friendly. the best part was the community kitchen with all the necessary appliances and utensils. It was also a plus that there was a grocery store right across the street. for the price we paid, it was more than okay!

    Nothing, it was perfect! 😊.
