    Very good
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The mechanisms that ensure doors are always closed is very loud, and with the comings and goings of guests on the hallway it can be annoying and wake you up from your sleep.

    As a woman traveling solo I was intrigued by the unisex showers, but the solution was very well thought of and the cabin gave me complete privacy for my daily showers. The breakfast was very good!

    I wish they provided a drinking water station near the reception.

    Super clean premises, very comfy bed. Location is great as mostly everything is within walking distance. Staff is very friendly. They also provide lockers for checking in your luggage, which is an additional bonus. There's an excellent bar downstairs. Watching René make signature drinks was one of the highlights of my stay.

    This time around was okay but it's still my top choice in Berlin.

    This time the room was a little strange and harder to navigate with mobility issues. A lot of the restrooms on our floor weren't working, which meant I had to go to another floor and again, that is hard with mobility issues.

    Location is great! I've stayed here a few times and always enjoy my stay.

    A bit noisy cause of the tram and the People outside.

    The staff is very kind and helpful The rooms,toilets and shower areas are so clean. Also having a bar and a cafe inside the hostel is really great. The hostel's location is the near the tram and metro line and it makes you feel comfortable and you can reach the famous and historical places by walking 15-20 minutes(Alexanderplatz,Holocaust Memorial,Reichstag,Brandenburger Tor,Tiegarten,Museuminsel vs..)Finaller this is the Best hostel I have ever stayed.Thanks for everything.

    Sleeping places are lacking power outlets inside them, also hair dryers in a bathroom could be quite usable. The building is right on the tram intersection and might be quite noisy in the late evening for some, but I adapted after the first night.

    Location is great. Many attractions are around. The lobby and cafe downstairs are quite usable, I was able to use it for hours for learning and work. Breakfasts are average to good and include everything I need.

    there is nothing to be done about, just the location is really crowded,, so you can't open the window during the night :) and also the drain in showers in 4th floor smelled a lot even though the shower was clean.

    the breakfast was nice, room was clean and spacious, the chill area next to the reception is very cozy and comfy.

    Excellent location, great penthouse apartment for a couple looking for a bit more space than a regular hotel room. Great to have the coffee shop and bar attached for convenience and vibes. Highly recommend. Don’t let the word hostel in the title put you off. It’s great!!

    noise in the night - and the locking system is too complicated. If you have heavy luggage going downstairs to storage can be a pain. Some of the coffee and breakfast attendants seemed a bit ready to lecture you for v small things like using credit card for small payments. Not all of us carry cash around so wish they would be a bit more accomodative to tourists - that being said the "foreign" crew managing the cafetaria were amazing and lovely people.

    for a 8 people shared dorm, it was quite peaceful and somehow guests were nice too - the area and the atmosphere somehow brings out good in people, as compared to a dingy rundown hostel - i think its better to spend a bit more and get a decent hostel than go cheap and get anxious.

    The room was super clean, also the bed was made with professionals. All the instructions from the app were very clear. When I came at the reception the guy there spoke Spanish so it was very easy to communicate.
