BEST SHOWERS EVER!! Dont wait around for the elevator unless you have your bags or your morbidly obese, the stairs are quicker. Staff are pretty nice and very helpful, breakfast is good dont pay just sneak in they dont check. One of the nicest budget hotels/hostels we have been too. Would go back

We stayed here for two nights and had an average experience. The place is clean but very crowded and feels much more like a hotel than a hostel. The staff speak poor english so communication was frustrating. It felt too much like a machine. The location is perfect though for anyone traveling by train as it is literally right outside the main train station in Berlin.

Really nice hostel. We stayed in a 4 bed dorm which had its own bathroom. Was very clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Location is amazing, right beside Hauptbahnhof.

second time a stayed at meininger central station, great value for money, very clean, good location. the only downside with this type of hostel is that it is mainly for large group of travelers, it makes it hard to meet people wben you are travelling alone.

It's you who named the" Internet Terminal", not me. so when you staff hear it, don't think it as "internet". Improve your listening , attitude and allocation of work force, don't blame the customer. The mail sent has never been answered. the room is so small, with a bathroom, so it's all up to what you expect. It's 1 minute walk to the train station, almost perfect location.

It is a great hostel, right next to the Central station and to the city centre, a perfect point to start daily excursions. The staff was friendly, however usually overwhelmed by the number of people at the reception. Little nuisance was for me, that the free wifi just did not work, neither in the lobby, nor in my room. I can recommend this hostel to everyone!

Great hostel near main railway station. Easy to find, easy check-in, nice staff, comfortable rooms, possibility of breakfast (additional cost), free wi if (pass you can find at reception desk). Only one thing - there is no towels in room. In general - great accommodation near all Berlin sights

Very good hostel, located right next to the Berlin Main Station and 15 minute walk to Reichstag and Brandenburger Tor. The room is good and clean, but really small for four persons. Very good value for money!

Not as confortable as Meininger Berlin, but still a good place stay. I think that the price is a little too high and the place is not that close to Central Station.

Best hostel I visited. I was clean, nice looking rooms. The staff was really helpful and it can't be closer of the train station. I would definitly recommend it.

this is a terrific place. Excellent location, 100 meters from Berlin's main train station and absolutely central to the city. Also 100 meters from direct bus to the airport. Simple, well appointed facilities all around, from common spaces to individual room and bath. Prompt, efficient and extremely helpful staff. Very well run. Unbeatable value for money. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Berlin (and I'll definitely check out other Meininger locations if available where my travels take me.

I personally think that your hotel is giving much more than what its asking for. I booked early, so I got some pretty good prices. But the rooms were good, clean and comfortable. Linen is provided, no extra charges and all that jazz. Breakfast is good with hard-boiled easter eggs!! One definitely gets more than one's bargained for. Staff were helpful and polite, sufficiently proficient in English. Overall, a treasure of a hostel experience.

A great hostel. Rooms were clean, roomy and provided secure lockers (bring your own lock). We had an ensuite bathroom that was also roomy and clean. The paid breakfast was very nice and well worth the money. Staff were great, helping me out with a cut on my hand and always providing prompt, friendly service and answers to any questions. This is the fourth time I have stayed at a Meininger Hostel and there is a clear reason why I keep coming back - they provide great value, great service.
