Station Backpacker's Hostel

This hostel's greatest strength is its fantastic location, just a stone's throw from the Cologne main train station. The rooms were good, with clean and comfortable low-level beds, which was a nice touch. The shared toilets and showers were clean and perfectly adequate. ​However, the social aspect and service were lacking. The staff seemed disinterested and more focused on themselves than on the guests. While the bar area is nice, its opening hours are very limited, and worse, there's no alternative seating for guests when it's closed. ​Verdict: Give it a try if your top priority is a convenient, clean place to sleep. If you're looking for a welcoming atmosphere and good service, you might be disappointed

Room: a bunch of beds scattered around the room (no bunks); not recommended for solo female if only mixed dorms are available; slight odor to hallways Toilets & Showers: clean enough and private, good water pressure Lockers: free Social Atmosphere: not quite. there is a bar downstairs, but there is a good amount of older people here. Location: a few blocks from central station. could not be better. Staff: friendly, reception closed 12-8 AM Overall: I give it 5 stars because it provided very good value for about $25 a night.

Excellent Stay at Station Hostel Cologne! I had a fantastic experience at Station Hostel in Cologne! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the central train station and Cologne Cathedral. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. The rooms and common areas were clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I especially liked the bar area and outdoor terrace, which were great places to meet other travelers. I’d definitely stay here

We chose it for the location. It was super convenient, near to the hbf station, the cathedral and shopping area. Staff were friendly. Room was clean. The only thing we didn’t like that the bathroom is shared. For the soundproofing, it was there but there is no room for ventilation so, we had to open the window a bit. Overall, good for short stays. Prices were reasonable.

Extremely convenient location, just minutes from hbf. Room wise is very basic no frills but for the price its just amazing. Staff were very friendly, easy to check in/out. My only issues are noise and smell, my room faced the main road and with the windows open could hear everything. Also slight cigarette smell from people smoking outsides. Will definitely use this place the next time im in koln!

Perfect place to stay, cheap, friendly staff, clean. Bar is pretty sweet for a hostel bar, keep Jacky, it’s nice to have a nice drink with a nice view also :)

Rooms had BEDBUGS and we showed the clear signs on arrival, the staff did not care and were rude and just said its dirt and walked away from us? Also lied about having bedbugs earlier and said the rooms had been cleaned but none of the stains were marked (professional bedbug cleaners mark spots with a circle when they have been celaned). Staff did not suggest a change of rooms/ didnt want to come check again and did not provide any concrete information for us the feel safe staying there. Most terriblw ecperience ive everrrr had, we had to figure out a new stay on our own. Also smelled real bad and an actual bedbug was found by other people staying there the next day, we did not get a refund on our stay. Just do not go here please such rude staff and terrible accommodation.

I was there for one week and this is what I have to say about the hostel: 1. The staff: half of the people are very nice, but also you will see people that should not work in this field(at the reception) 2. The room: you can see the rooms and the bathrooms are clean, one thing about the room it s that you dont have that much personal space, as u can see in the picture there are no curtains(the room was full with my friends so i guess lucky me). Advice- take a lock with u for the common lockers on the hallway. 3. The location- here is nothing i can complain about, the location was perfect, next to the city center and train station(take some earplugs -sometimes the trains can be pretty loud)
