This property was fantastic. I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel very near the train station and you can't beat the location of this property. I was warmly greeted by the staff, who even offered a nice hot cup of coffee. The reception area is large, comfortable, and was playing some great music. It's a fun atmosphere. My room was just what I needed, the floor was quiet, and the next day the staff kindly allowed us to store our bags for a few hours so we could explore the Christmas market before our train. I really enjoyed my stay and hope one day to have the chance to return.

12€ for a bed in a 4-bed room is definitely one of the cheapest options you will find in Germany. Staff friendly and accommodating and location just a few steps from Aachen main station. Rest is up to luck of who you have to share your room with. My room was really smelly and the bathroom was quite dirty but I think that was due to the person I had to share my room with rather than the cleanliness of the hostel itself.

Slept very badly because of the train station nearby and the open window; if we would close the window it would get too hot. Bedsheets of previous guest were still on the bed, bed number didn't match my card (bed was taken). Room sanitary was good and clean, public sanitary was dirty and a lot wasn't working. Staff is friendly.

Lage und Preis des Hotels sind top, allerdings ist es eben wegen der Lage am Bahnhof ziemlich laut. Gerade, weil es im Zimmer schnell recht warm wird und man unmöglich bei offenem Fenster schlafen kann ist das nicht optimal. Leider war auch das Badezimmer in keinem guten Zustand, insbesondere die Dusche. Insgesamt ist es für kurze Aufenthalte, gerade wenn man eher nicht so viel Zeit im Hotel verbringen möchte völlig okay. Insbesondere wenn man etwas Geld sparen möchte. Mehr aber auch nicht.
