DJH City-Hostel Köln-Riehl

Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Really made our day! Rooms were clean, bed comfortable, beautiful river view. Highly recommended.

We had to leave early and went for breakfast at 7am (this is the time when breakfast start and we have been told that full selection is served first thing). It was only some bread, cheese and ham available, all the hot food was served by the time we were already finished, so this was disappointing.

This is a one of best hostel experience that I’ve ever had! Rooms are clean and well organized. The breakfast was excellent and it was like a buffet in a hotel.

Nothing specific

The place was great, we were not expecting such good conditions from a youth hostel, especially considering what we've paid. Nice, spacious room, clean bathroom, GREAT breakfast, helpful staff. And for new year's day we were treated with a late check-out and a very tasty brunch. Would definitely come again!

The only downside to the place was the location, far from the centre. You have a really long walk by the Rhine if you don't want to use the U-Bahn (as it gets expensive for multiple days). However, it you plan on exploring the region by train, you have a station nearby that takes you straight to the Koln Hbf, so it is still very easy to reach when you are in a hurry.
