Nice hostel at a good location. No wi-fi and a bit of a poor breakfast considering that it was advertised. Otherwise no complaints, had a good time.

Nice friendly place though the blinds didn't work in the Indian room but you cannot have everything! Doughnuts in the morning and free internet and coffee, good place to stay for Karnival.

Prety clean hostel. I was surprized to know that there were a mixed bathroom AND a girls only bathroom, it was a delightful surprise. The kitchen had all the information we needed to do food there, the places where they kept the kitchen stuff were labelled, so it`s really practical.

The hostel was not at all what I expected. For the same price in many other cities we stayed in much nicer facilities. I would not recommend this hostel.

Staying was amazing!!!! I totally enjoyed with my staying! Location is the best! You just need to take 1 underground line to the hostel. The only thing that i was looking forward to is Wi-Fi Connection... If there would be a Wi-Fi Connection at the hostel it would be much better!!

One of the beds was really squeeky and the noise from the traffic outside was very loud, but apart from that it was amazing, really nice and fun. Great staff, and cool decoration, we were in the fairy room :). Would visit again

I like the interior design of the hostel, makes you feel like home. The location is great, close to an S-Bahn station. Very nice and friendly staff. Breakfast is a bit simple though. A negative point is that the cleanliness is not that remarkable....the bed sheets are pretty old, they do not empty the rubbish bin every day and the bath tub can be much cleaner. Overall it is still a nice place to stay.

Really nice place. Just across the street from the tram (train station is 4 stops distant, as well as the cathedral). Near a lot of bars and pubs within walking distance. Breakfast until 12pm also included! Would stay again.
