Reviews
this is a great location, walking distance to many of the man berlin sights. the staff are very friendly and helpful. there is a water dispenser at reception and free bag storage. the lockers are huge and work well. the showers are great. there is plenty of space in the rooms, hooks for towels and jackets, and a plug and lamp at each bed.
however there were so many school children staying when i was there, which i don't mind, but they were SO loud. they were running up and down the halls, jumping and yelling until late at night. you really need good earplugs if you're a light sleeper. there was also a man who was clearly on drugs who was staying and would often just sit/lie down in the hallway or in a doorway. he left a smell and was also creepy, looking at people with a microscope and was standing and watching me and my friend when we were playing pool. the reception knew about him and had complaints so im not sure if they were doing anything. i am glad i chose a female only room. also a great price for this location.
The floor I was put in was having an unpleasant odour, and the room I was in had a different one on its own (like mould, or something) – all my belonging smell of it right now. Hostel was full of school trips so there was noise of doors slaming from people going in and out of their rooms to showers and back – early in the morning and late to the night. I was there in February so room was a bit cold, when I asked whether they can look at heating it in my room as it was half warm and half cold (signs of air in the system), they turned up the heating in the whole building instead.
For one night emergency stay probably ok. For staying in private room couple of days, I would recommend to pay more somewhere else.
Something important is that is close to Berlins center, so there’s no need to take public transport.
I highly recommend this place !
And entrance to the hostel is kinda scary at night
Easy to go to downtown of Berlin by subway .
The price is amazing for this location .
Personal is friendly.
Breakfast could be better for the price but it is ok .
