The location is really convenient. Just about half an hour away from Hbf. There are also two stations that you can easily walk to, and a Ubahn station. The next street is a main street with lots of restaurants, so not too worried going back in the evening. Restaurant and bar downstairs also open till like 1am. I would suggest though to go back via Heumarkt instead of Neumarkt if you are a girl going solo at night, and still try not to go back after dark just in case. The staff is friendly and helpful. Hot water always at supply and community kitchen is great. The bathrooms are lovely. The beds, although in a shared room, worked amazingly well. Definitely would stay here again when I visit Koln again. The place is so cozy! Please keep it up.

Beautiful accommodation. The host Simona was very helpful. The facilities are excellent and the location is perfect. Less than 10 mins walk to the S-Bahn into the main station (2 stops) and less than 15 mins to U-BAHN. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room utilities of a coffee machine, fridge and kettle was perfect for us. Cups and glasses also supplied. The location is very quiet with cafés and small shops for convenience. We enjoyed our stay in cologne and this accommodation played its part. We highly recommend this accommodation to all.

The accommodation was easy to find and access, located relatively close to a tram stop and well-connected to the centre. The beds were comfortable, and a coffee machine with coffee pads was available, as well as cooking appliances for simple meals. The parking situation in the area is not ideal, but we still managed to find a spot on the main avenue where parking was free. Overall, a good option for a short stay for a low price - we paid 80€ for one night during the Christmas markets season - but we wouldn't pay more for it.

It’s not an anonymous apartment in an anonymous block of identical apartments. It’s a one-off and has lots of nice touches, like milk in the fridge, some snacks, and a few useful things like salt and pepper. The kitchen has everything you’d need. Bettina, the host, is ever so friendly and helpful, providing me with an umbrella because of the weather forecast. The internet signal was good. Transport links are good with local trams, and Köln-Sud railway station is very close for trains down the west of the Rhine. The main railway station is an easy thirty minute walk away if you’d prefer not to use the trams.

Andrea's guest apartment was exceptional, a comfortable space with all the amenities and essentials for a pleasant stay. It was beautiful, very clean, quiet, located in a beautiful home in a safe suburban neighborhood north of Köln, easy to access by car and about 20 minutes from places of interest in Köln. Andrea was a gracious host, very pleasant, accommodating and I feel grateful that she welcomed me into her beautiful home for a night.

Every staff member I met was very friendly and willing to help. I liked the coffee, that you can drink for free in the "living room". Also, the location is perfect near the city center and the central station. The price was very affordable, a great deal overall for the price.

Had a great time here. Well equipped apartment. Very clean, access was easy, great location, super kind and friendly hosts. As others have mentioned, yes, the shower and loo are outside the apartment but it’s not a big deal as they’re right next to it. Even if there’s a class, you don’t have to go through the yoga studio itself or something. With your door closed, you also won’t hear anything from the studio during sessions. Would definitely stay again!
