Cozy living room
Lying next to the reception on the ground floor, a cozy living room or common room offers great space for guests to stay and relax. Enjoy reading a book, playing guitar, having a drink or watching television during rainy days at Cologne. As 404 Hostel was originally built on the ground of one of the rare old buildings that remained undestroyed during the 2nd World War, its simple interior design with many wooden furnitures reminds guests of the historical values of buildings in this area.
Small-size kitchen
Walking up a couple of narrow wooden stairs to the first floor, you will find a small but fully equipped kitchen. Various equipments for cooking (pans, pots, plates, bowls, cutleries, etc.) with tea, coffee and condiments are offered to all guests with no extra charge. Though eating out is not expensive in Germany in comparison with other parts of Europe such as Scandinavia, home-cook food is preferred by many guests due to cost-saving and healthy diets. Free breakfast with toast, jam, honey, and cereal/muesli is also included in the room price.

The beds are always prepared in advance for guests’ comfort. A 6-bed room with the kitchen can be found on the first floor.
