Gay Youth Hostel in Berlin

The facilities and rooms were great but the person working there was hands down the most rude and difficult person to deal with. He said obnoxious comments to all the customers at the hostel and he even coughed on one of my friends instead of simply asking him to move. Everything involved a snarky comment or eye roll and he would complain about his job every time we saw him. It's a shame because the site is so great but the host alone is reason enough for me to never recommend this place to anyone.

First thing first - The hostel has camera''s all over. Feels like you are being watched ( Big brother house). When I asked, the staff he said it's for security and avoid stealing. I said for security the camera should be on entrance, not above the shower, lounge ( facing directly inside the room) and also in kitchen. Then I also asked, how you can control something inside the room, if someone stealing inside the rooms( for this he has no answer and asked -please ask the owner, how rude). As far as I know, camera's are allowed only at entrance that too outside not inside. I have never seen this in all world. Not wondering, it's a gay thing or a Owner is crazy or he wants to see young boys doing sex in hostel. I also heard that someone is watching camera 24 hours and you should behave inside the hostel. We all were not feeling safe and never sit in lounge and kitchen and dressed up always. Sorry no free soft porn to the old owner! NOT recommended and never coming back.

Looks like its not for Africa/Americans.Two of my friends were turned away just being from Africa even with valid visa. Not every black person you se around is in asylum .some are more richer than many of Europeans. We just wanted to have some fun and experience .Thanks to one guy who come to our rescue and help us with a hotel and much privacy without you watching us .

Don't book here if you plan to sleep.
Everyone here got really wasted every night and screamed in the living room at all hours. Also my mattress had a huge dent in it. The facilities are just passibly clean. Apparently the owners also watch you on camera most of the time.

What REALLY pissed me off was they threw out a lot of food that had just been there over night, including about €50 worth of cheese, a fresh burger, and some drinks, but didn't throw out food that had obviously been there for more then a few days.

If you really like drunk Europeans coming in your room in the middle of the night and flipping the lights on and off, or screaming like banshees in the lack luster main room - this booking is for you.

Personally, 4 of us left and asked for our last nights deposit back, which they obliged. That was the one redeeming quality.

Great location and very clean hostel. Feels like a private home.

Only bad thing is that there is Camera's all over ( I assume It's illegal ). Seems like a owner like to watch young guys having fun..lol :) You feeling like watched all the time and one camera is just above bathroom, so please be careful if you come naked outside or doing something outside of your room.
