Shiva´s CitySleep

We couldn't enter the door, because the code sent to us didn't work, so we had to wait 1 hour in front of the entrance until one of the other guests opened the door for us. There is also a huge pile of trash on the left side of the entrance. The room also had a very weird smell. The walls are way too thin, so it's super noisy. Their employees smash against every possible object they could possibly collide with, when they clean up the rooms. They also shout in the hallway at 9am already and if that's not enough there is also a very annoying beep sound every 30s which comes from the hallway, which you can hear the whole night.

Excellent location, only a few minutes walk to Köln Nippes bahnhof or a 35 minute walk to the centre of Cologne. Free parking right outside or if that's full there's plenty of room in the car park. Nice comfy bed, brilliant WiFi and private bathroom good. Shutters on the window were great as our room was on the street and we could not hear anything during the night. All rooms and the front door had a key pad lock with was good as no key required. Friendly staff when we checked in, was more than happy to help. Nice bäckeri round the corner open all day as well as a Netto, Aldi and Lidl all within walking distance.

Very kind and helpful staff. Thank you for accepting us with our dogs. The only toilet on the floor was blocked so one star down. Otherwise good place to stay. Thank you!

A Terrible place I have never experienced before. At 3:00 am someone speak very loudly in the kitchen, all of us wake up. Very noisy. No light in the toilet. There is only one toilt in the ground floor. I don't recommend this place to sleep.

The location was great. A couple minutes walking distance to the train which was very convenient for our trip. The staff was very helpful. They gave us directions, recommendations, and prices on train tickets. We got a room with a smaller room connected to where we had 4 beds in one room and 2 in another. The rooms were very cold and the heaters didn't help much even on highest setting. There was a sink in the room but it was community bathrooms. Also the walls are very thin so you hear everything. No breakfast included, but you could bring your own food and cook it in their kitchen area. We stayed on a Christmas market weekend so that could be the reason for such a high price but it was €300 for one night. I'm not sure what the cost is normally.

Stayed at this "lovely" hostel for carnival this year and was pretty disappointed. The individual running the joint was not very hospitable at all and I was left feeling unsafe. Small room with no working heat for being in november. Old building with old appliances, cold water, and few working outlets. Owner doesn't stay at hostel so thankfully I didn't need them for anything important. Very over priced for the condition and quality of the hostel. We had a friend staying at a nearby hotel who would come by when we were about to go out and each time the owner saw us he would insist that we were having more than the alloted amount of people stay there and assume we were attempting to scam him. I do not ever write reviews but I would not suggest staying here. I gave this hostel a 2 because I have unfortunately stayed at worse but for much reasonable prices.

Nice price. Nice Staff. Close to the station and Netto. Free parking , wifi, and kitchen. But the lady's bathroom on the ground floor needed repairing, the hot water didn't come out. So we used the one upstairs.
