Simple Luxury: The New Face of Hostels in Germany
Cologne & Düsseldorf, Germany - It’s time for the word "hostel" to bring up positive images, instead of the opposite: cheap but unsafe backpacker hangouts and sleeping halls, shared bathroom situations, and maybe even scenes from the cult horror movie "Hostel" -- hardly a place students or any budget traveler would want for their Europe trip.
What a surprise if you walked into the lobby of some hostels in Germany and saw families, business travelers, and young people from all over the world in a modern setting that looked like a brand new designer hotel. And the rooms: pristine, hotel-quality interiors, private baths and showers, and even flat screen TVs. That’s what you’ll find at the four DJH City-Hostels in Cologne and Düsseldorf.
The new reality is hostels like 3-star hotels, with private baths, amazing amenities, food options, and the safety and comfort that comes with that - but at a fraction of hotel rates.
DJH City-Hostels in Cologne and Düsseldorf are among the best of this new breed of budget accommodations. Their four upscale hostels in the city centers offer an amazing value: private rooms, including breakfast and all taxes, starting at only € 34 per room per night (about US$ 44) and multi-bed rooms starting at only € 20.50 per person (about US$ 27).
You might question the quality and cleanliness of these hostels at these prices, but they are so modern and pristine, even featuring high-tech meeting facilities, that Fortune 500 companies us them. Corporations like Bayer, Daimler Chrysler, General Aviation Manufacturers, Pfizer Pharma, Mc Donalds Germany, and many others regularly use DJH City-Hostels for meetings and overnight stays.
Featuring three hostels in Cologne and one in Düsseldorf, DJH City-Hostels is part of the German Youth Hostel Association Rhineland, an association of 35 hostels. A non-profit organization, DJH City-Hostels is committed to providing superior budget accommodations in the cities of Düsseldorf, Cologne, and the Rhineland region to individuals, groups, and families for business and leisure travel.
