It is quite far from the city centre but if you are staying there before going on a bus somewhere else so the location is perfect as a coach (bus) station is just 2km away and you can even walk that distance or take a train.

the hostel and the staff were ok... the toilet and the showers were not very clean. you need to walk 10 min to the train station and in the nights we didn't feel very secure... moreover we had a very "aggressive" and reckless person in our room making noise in the morning and always searching for a fight. the price was ok, especially for the weekend.

The hotel is far from centre, but with public transport u can get there very easily. It's super cheap and the staff is very friendly. Not recommended if u are looking for fun.

This hostel has comfortable beds in the dorms, great and clean facilities and really nice and helpful staff. It is not situated next to a metro station, but if you don't mind walking a bit, then you can be sure of staying in a nice, safe, clean and super calm place and have a real good night's (or morning's) sleep. Compared to most other hostels: it is never overcrowded, nobody ever yells or slams the door here, wakes you up in the early morning hours coming back drunk, or gives you a hard time.

This hostel was one of the best hostels we stayed in. Alhough compared to other hostels, the location from public transport seemed a bit far the walk from both metro stations is a couple of blocks. Staff is nice, and everything was roomy and very clean. I liked the boards in the hallway with all the top 10 places to visit, restaurants, etc.

Close to the Exhibition Centre, thats very convenient! Also the city is "reachable" in an acceptable amount of time, however, we left to the city centre for the last days, to experience more city life! ;)

I had a good time in the hostel, surrounded by (almost) all nice people. The biggest problem was the dust in the rooms and common room. ; I (and not only me) have been very allergic and become sick of it. this hostel is NOT a rate of more than 80% worth!!

Exceptionally nice and helpful staff and exceptional value for money at €27 per night to a room for myself. It is in a quiet street but near the Ku'damm, the main shopping street of Berlin and not far from the centre. One downside: the desk does not open till 10 a.m., which makes storing your gear during the day of departure a bit tricky. Otherwise highly recommended.

Its a little far form the touristic zones, and probably you have to walk 10min. from the subway station, and the zone was very lonely, and the beds were a little bit unconfortable, the bathrooms are mixed, well the showers actually. The toilets were dived. The people who worked there, were very nice and helpful. I would stay again but not for many days for the beds.

Water in shower room is quite unstable. Sometimes it's too hot and sometimes it's too cold.

Excellent value for money. You might think it's a bit of from Berlin's main attractions, but there's a bus stop and a s-bahn station within ~5 mins walking distance, 2 supermarkets (1 almost in the same building, the other a few meters across the street). If necessary, I would definitely consider to stay in this hostel again!

I had a great stay. You are given a padlock and key to use with a big locker. Kitchen is perfectly stocked for a backpacker. Relaxing common room. Very helpful staff and lots of information around the hostel. Not too close to where you want to sight see but an easy enough journey by S-bahn.
