A&O Köln Neumarkt

Good price and comfortable as well.

The bathroom is small.

First l have to say the staff were very nice and helpful , it was very clean and great location. The mattresses are a bit hard for me but great to have your own light and usb sockets in bed, no aircon so was a bit hot being unable to open window

Some of the guests left a lot to be desired. I had booked a shared dorm so obviously would have no problem with guys in the room but when l entered my room there was a guy stark naked spread out cold on the his bed. l have stayed In many hostels over the years and not encountered this before usually people at least wear underpants, no matter what bed l took l could not avoid the sight so asked to move to another room the girl on reception was very nice and put me in a girls only dorm. The second night in there l was just about to go to bed when a young guy entered the room he was staying there too, given that l had originally booked a shared dorm l thought ok it's no problem, he started to make conversation with me which again is fine but he then proceeded to proposition me this was totally inappropriate and a bit scary as we were the only two in the room. I left and told reception they gave me a room to myself after trying to put me in with another female who had been moved because of issues ( l don't know if they were the same as mine) but she didn't want to share. l believe a lot of this was because of the covid restrictions so really understand the staff were under a lot of pressure being only able to half fill rooms, but maybe they should be more careful not to put male's and female's who don't know each other in a room alone. This shouldn't be necessary but maybe explain to young men that they should at least wear underpants in the room and it is NEVER appropriate to approach a female sexually in the rooms. I know this is not the hostels fault when guest don't know how to behave, but as long as these restrictions continue they should maybe be a bit more careful about these things perhaps stick with more just female or male rooms unless the people are together.

The cleaning.

Great facilities and the rooms were very clean. It could easilly be matched with may more expensive hotels.

It was far away from the centre, but of course i did know that when i bought the room. A bit of noise from the street at nights, and i was a bit unlucky with the ones i got into room with. One guy came in at 2330 when i was already prepared to sleep alone in the dorm.
