“For a no-frills stay in Cologne, this spot lands you right by the river and the pedestrian zone. It's more than just a hostel, offering clean, basic rooms, though you might want to request a lower floor to avoid the hike up the stairs. Plus, you're surrounded by lively brauhauses and a vibrant nightlife scene.”
