This hostel is located in the heart of Cologne’s trendy Belgian Quarter, 2 km from Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine Embankment. Hostel die Wohngemeinschaft offers free Wi-Fi and design interiors.

Hostel die Wohngemeinschaft is a 2-minute walk from Moltkestraße Underground Station and a 4-minute walk from Rudolfplatz Underground Station. Cologne Main Station can be reached in under 30 minutes on foot. Really great place to stay. Not a party hostel, but not uptight either. Staff is great - helpful and accommodating. We met some great people just hanging out in the cafe area. Also a fun part of town, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and close enough to city center and attractions to be walkable. The room layouts are thoughtful and functional with top bunks sturdy enough to avoid waking those on the bottom bunks. Privacy curtains are always a plus. I would 100% stay here again, and I’d look forward it!
