Hostel Die Wohngemeinschaft

Really comfortable, clean and secure. My first solo travel experience and I was anxious about how secure my belongings would be. I couldn't have been happier with the accommodation. For such a popular and busy bar, noise was relatively nonexistent.

I only stayed one short night in that hostel but I wish I could have stayed a bit longer. I booked a dorm in the ballroom one, women only, the booth was great. Comfy and very large bed for one person, tablet/light/plug for the phone, everything I needed once I was up there. I could put my valued belongigs in a closed locker which was really appreciated. The key in the lift to the hostel was given me a feeling of safety which is always good when you travel solo. The common room was decorated with taste, I didn't use it but a kitchen is always of good use in a hostel. For the price it was a real bargain, I highly recommend this hostel !

I stayed here for 5 nights as a base to explore Cologne and Dusseldorf and Aachen and Trier. It was just relaxing, the beds were nicely partitioned and comfortable, reception staff were very welcoming, the location itself is in a nice neighbourhood and a short ride away on public transport from the city centre, there's a little convenience store a few doors down to buy beers and basic goods, and also other useful shops in the area, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the Hahnentor at Rudolfplatz where I joined a free walking tour. The bar was well away from the dorm rooms, so there was no noise and it was very comfortable to sleep.

5 days before my arrival that I booked in advance 4 months, they have cancelled it, because there was a water problem with my room, so they transfered me to another hostel lower in quality, commodities, cleaning and location. When I asked more details about this new accomodation, specifically about the room they booked for me, they answered me: "we can not give you this information". There was a mistery... So, I was not able to accept to be in a hostel room which I didn't know anything about (what room it was, it was shared or not, if yes, how many people would be there) simple questions that I didn't get answers to. The hostel cancelled my reservation with no excuse. there is lack of transparency and communication from this hostel. I do not recommend it. If you are not sure about it, book somewhere else.

Stayed four nights in the Tamara (Gone with the Wind) room. Room worked really well. Staff friendly and helpful. Lounge facilities good, games, books, free tea and coffee 24/7. Bar downstairs was quirky, fun and popular. Had worried might be noisy but hostel on floors 4 & 6 so lovely and quiet. Honesty bar for beer and soft drinks in the lounge. Shared facilities all clean and well equipped. Would happily return.

Ich habe eine Nacht im Frauenschlafsaal Ballettsaal verbracht. Die Betten waren sehr gross und bequem. Das Zimmer ist lichtdurchflutet und es hat genügend Platz. Das Morgenbuffet war kleingehalten, aber es hatte trotzdem eine gute Auswahl.
