Jugendherberge Koeln-Riehl - City Hostel

The location is okay, only 3 stations from the center. The room was good. We booked as a group so we got the whole room to ourselves. but it might not be as convenient for those who travel alone as you’re going to be sharing facilities with other people and there are no partitions between beds.

It is a charming classic hotel with a fair price. Still using physical keys and the facilities all seem nostalgic. Very quiet at night. The hotel provides a nutritious breakfast of bread, cheese, ham and fruits. Great coffee that made my day. Student groups also adore this hotel, their energy makes the hotel dynamic. There's also a lovely forest trail along the side with a lot of bikers and dog walkers passing by. It would be a nice walking distance from the hotel to the 18 S-Bahn (commuter rail) station. The only thing that bothered me was the automatic sensor lighting in the bathroom forced me to wave at it every 3 minutes while taking a shower.

Very Good

Definitely the cleanest dorm style hostel I've stayed in and the staff members I talked to were all nice and attentive. There's even a bit of breakfast included for the small price.
