Altstadt-Süd, Cologne hotel rooms at the A&O Hostels

"Lovely clean comfy room. Easy 30 min walk along the river to the hotel from central station. I slept so well, I didn't have time to have the included breakfast. Staff on reception at check in very welcoming and I was able to check in a little early which was great. "

"Excellent room and staff at front desk helpful and made us very comfortable "

"Checked in the first night and room given was not cleaned. Was left dirty from previous resident. Was offered a minor upgrade though "

"Walking distance to Old Town and Cathedral. Easy access to shopping."

"Clean room. Close to tram stop. "

"Small but clean room, beds weren't ideal for a tall person. Staff were friendly, shops very close by and a great selection of bars and pubs close by too. "

"The room had bugs, so the occupant (our son) requested a different room. They did comply, but then accused him of damaging the TV. It was not true anyhow, and it then turned out that they accused him before even talking to any others (cleaning and maintenance personnel) who had access to the room. Overall, the facility was dirty and shabby - both rooms, elevator, etc. Overall impression was borderline disastrous, and anyhow the standard of a 4-star hotel was definitely not met. Beware the room damage scam/trap - we recommend taking a pic of your room to document the condition and avoid unfounded accusations!"

"Sehr schönes Zimmer und Hotel. Personal sehr freundlich. Frühstück außergewöhnlich gut."

"Lovely room, all amenities and very courteous and helpful staff. A favoured stay for our frequent trips to Cologne "
