a&o Youth Hostels in Cologne

Unlike German Youth Hostel Association (DJH) hostels, you don’t need to be a member to stay at our a&o youth hostels. This means there are no additional costs for you – with a&o you only pay for your overnight stay plus any services you might use such as one of our activity programmes. And we and always offer unbeatable prices! Families are also very welcome in a&o youth hostels: extra-large family rooms offer the comfort you need to get a proper rest at night. Relaxing is easy with the central location of our hostels and the low room prices: take a boat trip along the Rhine and embark on a journey of discovery to marvel at the Kranhäuser developments at Rheinauhafen harbour, the banks of the Rhine, the city, and its splendid architecture! The historic old town with its Fischmarkt, Heumarkt, and Old Market squares invites you discover the shops and restaurants so typical of Cologne. No matter which of our Cologne youth hostels you choose, with a&o you are right in the centre of it all, and for the best price!

Are you planning a school trip or a family holiday to Cologne? We are happy to help you plan your leisure activities with some helpful suggestions. At some of our youth hostels, including a&o Köln Neumarkt, we also offer fully equipped meeting rooms which you can use for courses, presentations, and similar activities during your stay.

We’ve also got you catering needs covered: our youth hostels offer an extensive breakfast buffet in the mornings for 7 euros; children up to 6 years old get breakfast free of charge, from age 7 and up it is half price, and young adults aged 18 years and over pay the full price. For groups of 10 or more, we also offer dinner (by arrangement). If required, we can prepare packed lunches for you for 6 euros (there is a 50 cent discount for groups of 10 or more). These include a sandwich, fruit, confectionery bar, and a drink.

We are also happy to provide you with suggestions for excursions in and around Cologne, theme parks, zoos, museums, or bicycle tours, as well as information and advice about transport connections and much more.
