Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, right by the train station, and cheap – I didn't expect much apart from this (space, cleanliness, good service), as I didn't have to pay much. But when it comes to low budget, this is high class. Bonus: a locker, with our own key, where we could keep our luggage the next day before leaving town.

    I personally really like this relaxing vibe. A good backpacker hostel with comfy beds, a small garden with well equipped kitchen. Supermarket is in 10m radius

    Located directly next to the main train station. Relatively cheap. Suitable for tight-budget, or people who just need to stay a night to catch early train/bus.

    Cheap accommodation during Aachen Christmas market period, very handy as it is close to the station. It offers basic services but the bar remains open after Xmas markets close, so we were able to have a nightcap before going to bed. Great sound proofing: our window overlooked the tracks yet we did not hear anything.

    Close to the train station. Very helpful staff. Quiet. Good value for money if you are expecting a clean but basic room, this is a youth hostel after all.

    The hostel exceeded our expectations, room was big enough for a family of 4, lots of arrangements for light, USB charging points on bunk bed, lots of sockets, large windows with rollers, clean bathroom. Great location, 15min walk from the cathedral. Parking 12e for the night. They sell coffee at the reception, and serve meals if needed. Very good value for money.

    Hostel was in a central location beside the main train station and close to all amenities. Staff were attentive and willing to help out guests with all queries. Definitely the cleanest and best hostel I've stayed in yet.
