This hostel went to the effort of providing a bit of free food and great kitchen facilities. We stayed in a 4 person room with double bunk beds. The beds were all clean and comfortable, and it was a decent size room. The kitchen facilities provide everything you could want. Lots of friendly people too! I loved that it was so close to everything, especially the subway and the grocery stores!
A few small things - the bunk beds should be attached to the wall. I almost pulled it over on myself when attempting to climb to the top bunk. A second chair would be nice as well. The shower has a VERY short timer on it, you can barely get yourself wet before having to push it again.

Based on its price, the Weltempfänger Backpacker Hostel provides beyond-expectation services. The bathroom on the second floor is clean. The staff is very friendly and willing to help. There is always some bread, butter, jam, coffee and tea in the kitchen for you to grab an easy meal. The location is also good which is just next to the subway station. I lived in a 6 mix room. At the first night, there was only me as a girl in the room. At the second and third night, another girl came. Fortunately, all the guests in the room were polite.If you are a solo girl and somehow worried about the safety, I would suggest you to choose a female only room.

The location is right next to the underground station. Above a lovely pub for evening drinks reminds me of publove. And the familiar faces from up stairs helped. Across a fantastic bakery for fresh baked bread and breakfast. Convenient shops close by. If you don't make a point to go out and visit the city. ....you might just chill out. But I love the locker system, the checkout s ystem too. The receptionist was very helpful made contact earlier in the day so it was personal service.
The shower has a system meant to save water so that was new to me and as much as I enjoyed the shower. It would have been nice to know how to Work it for the first time. I got an upgrade too. So thank you but peeped at what I missed and even those showers looked very clean as well.

The staff were very friendly. The kitchen has everything you need with free toast,tea,coffee, jam (which is definitely rare nowadays), The beds were comfy, I stayed two separate nights in separate rooms, one was fantastic the other okay with some noise from the outside, which is expected considering we're the hostel is. The hostel is close to many stores and amazing places to eat.
The lack of toilets outside the room, only 1 on the ground floor. If possible it would be ideal to add more.

The location is bit off from Cologne Central station but the hostel was nice to dwell in for 2 nights. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The hostel was clean and had a cafe/bar at the entrance which offers beer, coffee and soft drinks for discounted price. It's a cozy place to do chit chats. The rooms were quite nice and beds were comfortable. There is also a common kitchen available for the guests to use and which also serves as a place to start a conversation.
All was great. Nothing that we did not like.

The interior of the main hall was very nice, since it's a café/bar. The hostel's location is very convenient too, as it is surrounded by many shops and restaurants - specifically kebab shops And it's relatively close to the city centre too (30mins by foot or 10mins by bike). I paid a little extra 5euros for a smaller room with its own bathroom and toilet and I gotta say this hostel was a bang for your buck, even during summer.
Someone stole my coffee at the public kitchen. I put it in the fridge at midnight and the next day in the morning, at 9am it was gone.

The staff were very friendly and explained the necessary details (like how there's no staff after midnight and about the door code) but seemed a bit unfamiliar with business travelers. Room a bit on the small side but very clean and well maintained.
The room was cramped and nothing very stylish but it's really a hostel so the room was above-standard for a hostel. Construction workers removing scaffolding on the first morning was a bit of a loud shock.

the staff is extremely friendly and you feel directly comfortable. They offer free coffee, tea and fruits. The community kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The rooms are clean and quiet. The location is also perfect. Next to a street with all kind of restaurants, bars and shops. Easy reachable from the main train station. Totally recommend:)

The staff is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable. My room was the one with 4 beds and was cool, each one has a locker to save your things. Close to the hostel there is a nice supermarket and many shops to buy everything you need
To reach the city center you have to walk at least 30 minutes but just in front of the hostel there is a subway stop
