This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Excellent Accommodation for travellers on a budget.
The location of the hostel is perfect. Traveling by foot to the Neumarkt is less than 15 minutes and from Neumarkt to the Köln Dom is another 15 minutes. The service staffs are all very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out is relatively no-frill.
I stayed in a 4 beds room and the room given had ample space to contain 4 people and their baggage. The ventilation and cleanliness of the facilities are commendable.
During my stay (Jan 2010), the price of internet is 1 euro for 20 minutes. If you bring along your laptop, the price of wireless internet is 1 euro for 1 hour. German styled breakfast is available from 8am - 10am for 4 euro.
The hostel is not without some problem. The card key did not work and it was only solved on the 3rd day. On the second day, the staff allocated 5 people to the 4-bed room. This was only resolved after 2 hours. I believed that the problem lies with the software the hostel is using might be buggy.
Overall, the problems I encountered did not affect the experience of my stay at the hostel. If ever I am back in Köln, I will be checking this hostel out again.
P.S. just 5 minutes walk from the Hostel is a club named Studenten Lounge. Do check it out.

A great location, especially during the weeks before christmas, because of the christmasmarkets. Nice roommates. Everything (shower, toilet, etc.) worked and was clean. Facilities, like the posibility of leaving your luggage in the hostel after check-out, but before leaving Cologne, were perfect.
The service was sometimes a bit unfriendly. The A&O-people looked a bit bored (phoning with other people while helping us for example) and didn't greet everytime.
