a&o Köln Neumarkt

rooms were very clean, toilet and shower en-suite. body wash and soap included in bathrooms. chargers and night lights at each bed. kitchen was very spacious, large dining table, one fridge, two hobs, microwaves and a kettle. Plates, Pans and utensils all supplied by the hostel. 3x washing machines and dryers. large common room with entertainment on the Friday night, vending machines, atm and a bar free luggage storage and 2 lockers in the bar area. Good location, lots of bars and restaurants nearby. supermarkets 10 minute walk away and cologne cathedral/central station about 20/25 minute walk away

I decided to extend my stay in Cologne at the last minute, and was surprised by the availability of rooms practically overnight. I was particularly impressed with how flexible and hospitable the staff were. On the day I was checking in, I wasn't feeling well, and the guy working the counter kindly accommodated a request having to do with changing my booking. I honestly thought I might be asking too much, but he actually did more than I asked him to, just so I wouldn't lose any money. I wish I had gotten his name for this review!

Nice clean, friendly hostel with a good breakfast available and very good en-suite shower and lavatory.

The room was basic, but it did have a nice in room bathroom with a separate shower which worked with well with a family breakfast was phenomenal!

The hotel is well located, close to some bars in the gay area and also close to metro lines. The check in and check out are easy. The room is big enough, beds and pillows are comfortable.
