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.

I didn't have time to read the reviews when I booked the itinerary. When I was free, I saw the reviews and couldn't cancel. It was a waste of money. I can't stay. I really don't dare to stay with such bad reviews. There are pictures and the truth. In addition, the hotel you paid to book is close to the Cologne Church and the central train station, making life convenient! Ctrip really puts a lot of thought into selecting merchants, yet they dare to use it even with such poor reviews!

Basically it is very close to the station, it only takes less than five minutes to walk, the price is affordable, and there is an elevator, so people with large luggage don’t have to worry. But it was a pity that when I checked in, there were a lot of students checking in, and because the receptionist was not there 24 hours a day, those students started running loudly in the corridor after 11 o'clock in the evening. In the room, we listened to music loudly, drank, ate, and chatted. In addition, the room itself did not have any soundproofing. We were actually staying in a double room, but there was a shared dorm next to it, so it was very noisy.

Friends who plan to stay in this hotel, please read my message. This hotel is designed like a youth hostel, and the door on each floor is opened with a key. But………… At night, someone would use towels to block the door so that others could come in and out, so strangers kept appearing on the floor. They probably booked a bed, and after getting the key, they used towels to block the door to let other accomplices come in to take a shower and eat! We lived on the first floor, which was very scary! First of all, it is a public restroom. There is a large window in the restroom that is open. When you look out, you will see a platform. The window is large enough to allow someone to climb in, so we found a street sleeper eating instant noodles in the restroom. and constant coughing.  Then I found that the door was blocked with towels, and people suspected of sleeping on the street or *********** kept coming in and out of your floor. When I walked to the back of the floor, I found an escape exit, but the door to that exit was also open! I really don’t recommend you to try it, especially female friends! It feels very dangerous. But I have to say that the boss is very friendly and the location is very convenient.
