Station - Hostel für Backpacker, Köln(Station - Hostel for Backpackers)

Staff was really nice. The location is perfect too.I would like to come back

打算來這旅店住的朋友，請你必須看一看我的留言 這個旅店類似青年旅社的設計，每一層的大門是用鑰匙開門的。但………… 晚上會有人用毛巾把大門擋住方便其他人出入，所以樓層內不停出現陌生人。他們大概是訂了一個床位，拿了鑰匙之後，再用毛巾擋住大門，讓其他同黨進來沖涼及飲食！ 我們住的是一樓，10分恐怖的！首先他是公共洗手間，廁所內有一隻大窗是開着的，探頭出去是一個平台，那一隻窗的大小，是可以容許有人爬進來的，所以我們發現有一個露宿者在廁所裏吃方便麵及不停咳嗽。 然後發現大門被人用毛巾擋住，不停有疑似露宿者或**人士出入你的樓層，走到樓層較後的位置發現有逃生出口，但那個出口的大門也是長開的！ 真的不建議你們來嘗試，特別是女性朋友們！感覺10分危險。 但不得不說，那個老闆是10分友好的，地點亦10分方便。

The location is perfect. Just 5 minutes walk from the Hauptbahnhof. You can buy for 10 € a wonderful buffet breakfast. For lunch and dinner they have good meals. The rooms are very safe with single beds on the ground (not station beds to climb up). Bathroom shower is big and good. Best place to stay in Cologne Central for little money.

Easy accommodation near the train station

Sadly I had a terrible experience at the Station Hostel. I booked 3 months in advance for a private room for a 2 night midweek stay during my trip to Germany. The location is absolutely fantastic, just minutes from the main station. Check in was friendly and efficient and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. Super clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, nice big windows allowing plenty of light. Small desk and a lovely compact small toilet and shower. Bedding, towels and toiletries were provided and a modest €1 is charged per extra towel if you need more than one. The common areas on the ground floor are lovely and the bar / restaurant is cosy and very welcoming. This could have been such a pleasant experience. It wasn’t the hotel that ruined it, it was the groups of teens staying in the rooms around me. I had room 409. Rooms 410,411 and 412 had students in them who partied and misbehaved until well after 4am. I got absolutely no sleep for doors slamming, furniture being thrown about, shouting, swearing, screaming, running and fighting in the hall ways, banging on walls….. it was absolutely AWFUL. They behaved like animals with total disrespect for any other guests trying to sleep. Sadly the staff leave at midnight and so there isn’t anyone there to deal with noise complaints and people can simply behave as they wish. I left to go about my day the next day but felt tired and came back to try and have a nap in the afternoon, however the party had started again and I brought it to the attention of the young man on reception. He told me he would talk to them, but it made little difference and the torture continued. I had no option but to check out and try to find somewhere else to stay for the night. Given that there was a convention on in Cologne this week, trying to find anything in the city for less than €170 per night was near impossible, but I couldn’t bear to spend another night there without sleep. The young man on reception was apologetic and kindly refunded one night of my stay as a gesture of good will. It was appreciated and not at all the fault of the hotel, but the total disrespect shown by this group of guests ruined my stay and cost them a future customer. This kind of behaviour should not be tolerated and I’d always imagined there was a mutual level of respect in hostels, especially as people share rooms. Clearly not in this case. If you want to rest at any point during your travels, I’d only advise on this hostel as an absolute last resort. I cannot fault the cleanliness of the room. Nor can I fault the staff, they’re lovely, but the guests staying in the 3 rooms next to me absolutely ruined my trip. A total disappoin**ent.

Excelente localização, com ótimo custo. Instalações confortáveis, porém precária na limpeza. Uma boa opção, para curta estadia.
