Hostel Heinzelmännchen

I liked the location and the fact that it was very very clean

Well for the money the money I paid I would expect something more Otherwise Tha location the clearness and it was super easy to check in and check out . I would recommend it .

Very clean and safe, close to the bus stop, has towels, clean bedding, fan, hairdryer

Long stairs and no elevator, don't like shared bathrooms

The rooms was okay for someone who only need to take a shower and sleep during his stay.. It was self check in so when you go you just press your code and you get the keys.. The location is perfect for someone who want to be as much as possible closer to the center but also want a quiet neighbourhood.. I didn't use their shower gel cause I brought mine from home, also the same with the shampoo so I don't know if there are okay, but they was looking very good.. In front of the building was a bakery witch everything was looking very tasty and the smells was divine, we wanted to try but on Sunday was close, like almost everything else over there..

Take in mind that they don't have a parking place for the people who stays there, but they recommend some parking that you need to make a reservation from before.. I didn't tried those cause they was quite expensive for us (65 euros for less than 48h, was the cheapest one), also some of them they was closed on Sunday, so in case you are leaving on Sunday you can't access your car.. I found one in between the hotel and the Dom (Marspfortengasse 10, 50667 Köln, Germany), you just go there and when you enter they give you a ticket which you have to use when you leave to pay at the machine (we left the car from 9am to 12pm the next day and we paid 32 euro).. The room didn't had a fridge so our water was hot until the morning especially cause we came during a period when the temperature was between 35-39 during day time and 26-29 during night time.. Also it has no air-conditioning (for someone who didn't notice from the beginning to the description that it doesn't mention it)..

The room has an excellent location close to the city center, you can go by foot. The value for money was quite good due to its location and for a room for two people. The check-in and check-out were very simple.

The mattress was a bit too hard for me, but for my colleague it was fine. However, the pillows were quite uncomfortable. We were both with a neck pain after a few nights of sleep. There was a very strong smell coming from the piper probably, which gave the room quite an unpleasant smell.
