My friend and I are regular visitors to Berlin. This was our first visit to this hostel and we certainly we're disappointed with the location!! The hostel didn't have a twin, en suite room when we booked but we decided as we were only going for two nights just to "slum it". First impressions were good and the staff at... more

As hostels go, this was very very good. The location is spot on, halfway between Alex and Hackescher stations and close to Museum Island. There's a supermarket 2 mins away as well and a cashpoint next door. The place is absolutely spotless, that's all I can say about that really - although of course it depends who you're sharing with!... more

I stayed at this hostel in July as it was recommended by BusAbout. The hostel itself had a great atmosphere, focusing around a sociable courtyard. However, the hostel lacked some amenities that I would normally expect as standard. There are no lockers in the room, although there are some tiny ones available (they are in an unwatched area, so beware... more

This is the kind of place you should come to if you want to have a good time, NOT a quiet time. Our room was overlooking the beer garden and there are people out there basically 24/7. We loved it - we met many people due to the relaxed and social atmosphere. The staff are young and trendy and also... more

I've stay at thise hostel several times and had good expericenes every time. The bathrooms are clean and the rooms are fairly big. The location is excellent, close to both public transportation and eating places. more

I stayed here with 3 of my friends (all 21) and we loved it! When we arrived the staff were really friendly and we even got an en-suite room which we didn't even think we had booked! It was so cheap for the location and standard and although it wasn't typical tourist season the city was busy due to the... more

This place is clean, central and provides what is needed for a comfortable stay. The shared rooms are large with views of big courtyard. Can be a bit noisy if your room is above the courtyard but earplugs work well.The showers are a bit icky but are what I've become used to in hostels and they do the job, just... more

My partner and I stayed at CityStay Hostel for 4 nights in May 2008. We payed $83 AUD per night for a Double Room with Shared Bathroom which included free Internet access. They only accept cash, no credit cards. Breakfast is not included but for 4 Euro you can get the buffet breakfast which includes includes rolls, cereal, hams, cheeses,... more

We went to the hostel on a school trip, as part of an MUN conference that was being held at the JFK school about 45 minutes by S-bahn. The fact that the S-bahn station was next to the hostel was brilliant, meaning that our travel time was considerably shortened. Also, there were plenty of bars and restaurants near to the... more
