Once me and my friends just got there, we were facing difficulties with our bookings, which eventually were solved. However, we had some problems with the bookings almost every night that we stayed there.. and we were not put together in one room, even though we are friends and there were free beds in the room. BUT, I can say... More

Good, clean and surprisingly modern Hostel located in a good city centre location, the Barbarossa tram stop is also pretty close with regular connections to the Cathedral and the main train station. Bathroom was surprisingly well equipped and the rooms where clean, tidy and had a balcony. A nice touch where the free towels we got. Cheap clean, efficient and... More

This is a convenient hostel for the University. The city centre is a short walk away where there is excellent shopping, restaurants and bars and there are plenty of trams. The wifi in the hostel was very poor. The rooms were average but the price was excellent.

I stayed her during a trip with my work colleagues. The hostel was pretty reasonable, quite good value for the price and was clean and reasonably comfortable. For the price, it was everything that I expected. However, it was not directly in the city centre. This is fine as we were able to get around by tram and walking (once... More

I stayed here with a friend while we travelled around Germany for a few days. Our trip started and ended in Cologne, so we ended up staying here twice. I was quite impressed with this hostel. I booked it online with hostelbookers and had to put a 10% deposit down. Our reservation was found easily on their system and we... More

As we arrived to the hostel, we confronted a problem: no sign on their database about our payment, so it took a while to get an email from home where the transaction is shown. It would be a good idea to bring every paper with you, if something goes wrong like that. First night was quite horrible because of not-so-quiet... More

Whenever I'm in Cologne and I need a place to stay, my №1 choice is Meininger. It's very central, close to the bahn and it's easy to find. Staff is always very friendly and the rooms and services are on a high level. And fortunately bath is in the room and not on the floor! And also whenever I choose... More

We stayed in a hotel room at the Meininger for five nights in May, and for our purposes it was great. The location is not super-central for museums and such, but it's near busy Rudolfplatz; we often took the half-hour walk to the Dom or other attractions and rarely had to leave the lively parts of town, and we could...
