This hostel is both affordable and has a great social culture, including a cafe and bar, that would make it perfect for students and solo travellers. The cafe and bar offer a different deal every night including free pasta and beer. Due to renovations happening during our stay we got free beer most nights! I stayed in a dorm which... More

Stayed here in an apartment and everything was excellent. Staff were friendly, helpful and the rooms very clean. The hostel offers plenty of great activities, including cool walking tours. Each night there was a free meal on offer (first in best dressed) which was the perfect way to kick off an evening. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Berlin.

We booked this hostel because of the great reviews. We had a private room with bathroom. Overall, the room was nice. The only problem was that we have stayed in Berlin in very hot days and the room had no AC or fan, so was a bit difficult to sleep. Also the pillows were too high for me. Besides that,... More

Stayed here a longer period. Great staff and location. Extremely helpful and personable. Seems to attract an interesting clientele as well. Not the cheapest hostel in Berlin, but well worth it! I heartily recommend it if you're planning a trip to Berlin.

This hostel had great big bedrooms and lockers free you just had to provide a lock (they were only big enough to fit your laptop and passport in). The bathrooms and toilets were very clean and I felt very safe here. However this hostel didn't have a kitchen which made it very hard for my friends and I as we... More

All apartments have a very nice feel and plently of room to stretch out after you had a day of sight seeing. The room includes a kitchen, which you can use if you feel so inclined and a complete set of dishes and... More

The best hostel I've stayed in, beautiful, very tidy and clean, the staff people are amazing. They have a nice breakfast for 5 Euros. It's very good located, in front of the underground. The bar downstairs is very nice, they have different things every night.
